About ShapeBit
A personal operating system that gets out of your way.
ShapeBit OS is being designed for people who want a modern, secure, and stable computer without turning system maintenance into another job. Routine updates, window management, and desktop organization should stay out of the way, leaving you free to focus on your work and finish what you start.
Everyday use is intended to feel simple, with complexity hidden until it is wanted. ShapeBit is intended to remain deeply customizable for people who need more control, while exploring new ways of working through thoughtfully integrated AI support, alternative input methods, and other emerging technologies.
ShapeBit is source-available, but it is not open-source or free software. It will remain free of charge for individual users.
ShapeBit OS is a Linux operating system based on Fedora.
Principles
A computer should serve the person using it.
Simple first. Powerful by choice.
Clear defaults keep everyday use approachable. Deeper, discoverable controls remain available when someone wants them.
Personal, secure, and current.
The system belongs to its user, stays quietly protected and up to date, and keeps ShapeBit branding in the background.
