Built around the way you actually use a laptop.
LeivOS replaces Windows or macOS on your machine. Here's what you get — and, just as important, what you don't.
Boots in under a second
Press the power button and you're at the desktop before the screen finishes warming up.
No telemetry. Ever.
LeivOS does not phone home. There is no analytics agent, no crash uploader, no "experience improvement program."
No subscription
You pay once. The license is yours. Updates within your major version are included.
No ads anywhere in the system
Not in the start menu, not in the search bar, not in the lock screen, not in the file manager.
Updates on your schedule
You decide when to update. The system does not restart itself in the middle of a presentation.
Your files in plain folders
A real filesystem with real folders. Nothing is uploaded automatically. Nothing is hidden inside a cloud account.
A familiar desktop
Windows, a taskbar, a close button. The shapes you already know — without the dialog boxes you wish you didn't.
Honest hardware support
A clear list of supported machines, and a clear list of what doesn't yet work. Read it before you buy.
Included apps
Simple, fast, and built to do one thing each. Each one is built in our own in-tree language, Tape. Replace any of them with something else whenever you like.
- Web browser with a modern engine
- Mail client (IMAP / SMTP)
- File manager
- Notes and a writing surface
- Photo viewer
- Media player
- Settings
