SkyOS

Research and prototyping

An operating system designed for how you actually work.

SkyOS is our long-term computing experiment. Speed, performance and simplicity, explored in the open, with no launch date and no promises.

Why we're exploring it

The studio's long game.

Every operating system we use daily gets something right and something badly wrong: customisation locked away, app support traded for design, performance traded for capability. SkyOS is where we ask what a computer would feel like if none of those trades were forced.

It's early concept work, and we treat it that way. No launch date, no waitlist theatre; just prototypes, shared as they take shape. Everything below comes from those concept builds.

The vision

What we're prototyping.

Four ideas anchor the concept so far: an informative desktop, a look and feel you control, focus that follows your context, and a lock screen that's actually useful.

Powerful and informative desktop.

A clean, beautiful design that makes your computer feel the way it should. Customisable widgets display weather, news, dynamic greetings, and more.
