How it fits together

What ElastOS is

01 /

Runtime

The software that runs on your machine. It manages apps, services and access to your data.

02 /

Home

Your desktop in the browser. Sign in with a passkey to open apps and manage your account.

03 /

Apps

Signed packages for tasks such as writing, managing files and connecting with people. Your documents and settings stay separate from the installed app.

04 /

Permissions

Reading a document, changing it and sharing it each need permission. Runtime checks access for apps and AI agents alike.
