kianOS
The free PC system that's easy to switch to.
Bring your files, bookmarks and Wi-Fi with you from Windows. A built-in helper fixes things in plain words, and anything it changes can be undone.
- Free to use
- No tracking
- Runs on the PC you already have
- Every change can be undone
What's inside
Each feature is marked honestly: Built, testing means the code exists and is being tested; In progress means it's being built now; Planned means it's designed but not built yet.
Move in from Windows
Copies your documents, pictures, desktop and downloads, plus your browser bookmarks and saved Wi-Fi networks. Your Windows stays as it was.
Install from inside Windows
Download one app, and it sets kianOS up next to Windows. No USB stick needed on most PCs. Changed your mind? Remove it again.
Switch to Windows and back
"Restart into Windows" and "Restart into kianOS" buttons, and a one-click repair for the start-up menu.
A helper that fixes things
Tell it what's wrong in your own words: printer stuck, PC slow, disk full. It explains, asks before changing anything, and keeps an Undo.
Undo for everything
Every change the system makes records how to put it back. Updates take a safety copy first.
"What's running" with On / Off
Nothing extra runs in the background unless you turn it on. One screen shows every background part, what it's for, and a switch.
Updates you choose
"Updates ready. Install now?" Never automatic, always with a way back.
Family Remote Help
Grandma presses "Get help". Family sees her screen only after she presses Allow, with a banner on screen the whole time.
Your PC from your phone
Pair your phone and ask your PC things from anywhere: check on it, fix something, or send a voice note like "email Susan that I'll be late". Nothing is sent without your Yes.
Voice Control
Hold a key and talk to your PC. The microphone is only on while you hold it. Speech is turned into text on the PC itself.
Receipt and Mileage Trackers
Snap a receipt and the PC reads the store, date and total for you. Log trips for mileage. Your records stay on your PC.
One Store, fair prices
Apps people often pay a lot for, offered at a fraction of the price, alongside free apps. Every app is checked and signed.
Everyday apps built in
Dictation, transcription, text from scans (OCR), PDF fill and sign, backups, photo import, printing and scanning, all with simple screens.
Games
A "Will my games work?" check before you switch, and support for the games that run well on Linux.
Security first
Secure Boot stays on, apps can't change the system on their own, and every system change goes through one checked, logged path.
Plans
kianOS is free. If your PC is too small to run the AI helper on the PC itself, or you want more, you can add kianOS Help online.

Privacy
kianOS doesn't collect data about you or how you use your PC. It only connects to the internet when you ask it to, plus a check for updates and the clock.
On the PC by default
The helper, dictation and the receipt reader run on your own PC whenever it's big enough.
Online only if you choose it
With kianOS Help online, your questions pass through our server to the AI and aren't kept. We store your plan and how much you've used, not what you asked.
You can see it
"What's running" shows everything working in the background, and each part has an Off switch.
Open source
The kianOS system will be published under the GPL-3.0 licence, so anyone can read it, try it and improve it. The code page opens together with the first download.
