CalyOS Desktop

Powerful. Simple. Truly yours.

The business desktop anyone can run. Every app you need comes installed, it flies on modest hardware, and there is no subscription and no IT department in sight.

Why you will like it

The good stuff, up front.

Four reasons teams settle in fast, and stay settled.

Easy

No manual, no problem.

If you can use a phone, you already know CalyOS Desktop. The clever bits stay out of sight, nothing hides six menus deep, and there is nothing to break. You just get on with it.

Imagery in production

Quick on anything

Light on its feet and easy on your hardware. Old laptop or new build, it feels fast either way.

Apps, already unpacked

Office, photos, mail and the browser come installed and kept fresh. Nothing to subscribe to.

Herd every machine

Join a CalyOS Server and manage accounts, policies and updates from one screen.

A few favourites

The bits you feel every day.

Windows snap into place and clutter tidies itself. One search box finds files, apps, people and settings. And setup takes minutes: sign in, or do not, it works either way.

Apps included

The apps are already here.

Office, photos, mail, the browser, the works. Installed on day one, kept fresh forever, and not a subscription in sight. Something niche? If it runs in a browser, it runs here.

Features

Little things. Big difference.

The details that make CalyOS feel like it is on your side, from the first boot to the hundredth.

The shape of it

Three things it always is.

The moments you will notice.

Small touches that add up.

A desk that tidies itself

Windows snap where you want them, files land where they belong, and clutter has a way of quietly disappearing.

Pick up where you left off

Shut the lid, open it later, everything is exactly as you left it. Even after an update.

Settings that speak human

No cryptic toggles. Plain words, sensible defaults, and a search box that actually finds the thing.

One place for everything

Files, apps, people and settings, all a single search away. Stop hunting, start doing.

For the bigger picture

Grows up when you need it to.

Join it to Server

One CalyOS Server and every desktop shares sign-in, files and policies. Add a machine, it just knows the rules.

CalyOS Server

Manage from the cloud

Enrol a fleet and handle health, updates, and remote lock or wipe from one console, wherever they are.

CalyCloud

More to love.

Instant search. Find anything the moment you think of it.

Silent backups. Always on, never in the way.

One-tap updates. Everything current, on your terms.

Self-repair. Roll back to a clean state in a click.

Works offline. No account, no internet, no problem.

Accessible. Voice, big text and reader, built in.

Private. Your data stays yours.

Security

Safe by default. Fussy so you do not have to be.

CalyOS looks after the locks, the backups and the updates. Quietly, and without a security degree.

How it keeps you safe

Peace of mind, pre-installed.

Under the hood

Quietly serious about it.

Encrypted, out of the box

Your disk is scrambled from day one, so a lost laptop is just a lost laptop, not a lost life.

Nothing to phish

No account to log into your own machine means no password to steal, guess or leak.

Locked, wiped, rebuilt from afar

Joined to Server or the cloud, a stolen machine can be locked, wiped or rebuilt before coffee.

The questions we get.

No. CalyOS is locked down by design, updated quietly, and can roll itself back if anything looks off.

Reset to a known-good state and carry on. Your files come back from the background backups.

On your machine, and in your backups. Join a Server and they can live in shared folders too. Never anywhere you did not choose.

Yes. Joined to a CalyOS Server, it can enforce encryption, policies and remote lock or wipe across every machine.

Safe, simple, and already on the machine.
