Core OS
The operating system behind every Core appliance — one machine that acts as your local server, your workstation and the home for every Core app.
Core OS turns a compatible PC or device into an appliance built around your business: a local server, a daily workstation, and the launcher for the Core applications that run on it. It replaces a pile of separate boxes and manuals with one machine that behaves like a single, coherent product.
Core OS is, for now, a business-oriented operating system aimed at factories and small and medium companies. Linux is the technical foundation, never the visible experience.
Local business installs that need Core applications, simple administration and day-to-day operation without any Linux knowledge. The machine can be used with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, Bluetooth and business peripherals.
A visual shell and app launcher, centralized administration of network, storage, updates and diagnostics, modular local-network applications, working as a server and an interactive workstation at the same time, simplified installation, and recovery backed by consent-based remote support.
Exposing modules directly to the internet, requiring a database for every module, and reaching immediate feature parity between x86-64 and ARM are all explicitly not assumed yet. A KDE- or GNOME-style desktop has been ruled out entirely.
A visual shell and app launcher. Opening an app feels like opening an app, even when it runs locally on your own network.
One place to see and manage network, storage, updates and diagnostics, in plain language instead of system internals.
Modular business applications, like CoreManufacturing, live inside Core OS as first-class apps rather than separate installs.
Every Core App is fully modular and optional — you turn on only what your business needs, independently of the rest. Not every one of them is built yet, so each card below says exactly where it stands.
Shopfloor + ERP for print farms
CoreManufacturing dispatches jobs across a multi-brand 3D print farm and posts every finished part into a built-in ERP — inventory, work orders, quotes, delivery notes and invoices.
Shared storage, the easy way
Will turn your disks into shared network folders for documents and files, with guided setup, permissions and backups — no Samba, NFS or partitioning knowledge required.
Watch what CoreNASS shares
A web app to browse and play the video, audio and photos published by CoreNASS, adapting to TV, PC and mobile views without asking for file paths or server setup.
A VPN, guided step by step
Will guide you through setting up a VPN in plain language, with no config files, manual certificates or terminal required.
Selling and billing, connected
Point of sale, invoicing and tax-compliance tooling are on the table as future Core Apps that would plug into CoMa's ERP, but the details are still undecided.
Day-to-day tasks happen through Core Home and Core Admin. There is no command line to learn for normal use.
Core OS is designed to live on your own network as your business’s server and workstation, not as a public-facing box.
If one app has a bad moment, it should not take the rest of the machine down with it. Recovery is part of the design, not an afterthought.
When remote help is ever needed, it only happens with explicit consent and the minimum access required to solve the problem.
It is still being designed and built. This page will grow as the picture of what Core OS will be becomes clearer.
