01
Own boot path
A custom BIOS boot sector loads a second-stage loader, which prepares the kernel handoff instead of relying on a prebuilt OS base.
From-scratch desktop operating system
A real OS, not a reskin.
Sky OS is being built from its own bootloader, kernel, filesystem, desktop shell, and app model. The goal is simple: make the computer feel calm again without hiding that a real operating system is underneath.
Current status: pre-alpha development build. Best viewed as a project in motion, not a finished daily driver.

What makes it different
Built like an operating system first.
Sky OS is not trying to win people with a fake desktop mockup. The visible interface is only one layer. The project already has boot, memory, filesystem, shell, graphics, process, and hardware-detection work happening underneath.

02
Own filesystem
SkyFS V2 is being shaped for typed files, directories, apps, games, config files, recovery records, and safer disk changes.
03
Own desktop
SkyGUI is the early desktop direction: launcher, dock, window panels, file areas, pointer support, and a visual identity that belongs to Sky OS.
The current desktop is rough on purpose.It shows real direction early.
Honest preview
Early, but already recognizable.
The screenshot is not pretending to be the final desktop. It is a snapshot of the shape: folders, shell access, system panels, dock behavior, mouse input, and a Sky-themed interface.
The design target is not “more buttons.” It is a clean place for files, apps, games, settings, and diagnostics to live without overwhelming new users.
Open design pageAlpha target: Sky OS is aiming for a mid-2027 alpha preview. The first public image should be boring in the best way: bootable, documented, repeatable, and honest about what is unfinished.
