GoBrowse Studios presents

A browser that became an OS.

GoBrowserOS boots a complete desktop — window manager, taskbar, 14 apps, real Wi-Fi & Bluetooth — inside Chromium. Run it as an app, on a USB stick, from an ISO, or in a browser tab.

What you get

Everything a desktop should be.

OS

A real desktop shell

BIOS boot animation, lock/login screen, wallpaper engine, window manager with snap and z-order, start menu with search, notification center, quick settings and full power states.

14

14 built-in apps

Files, Terminal, Text Editor, Settings, Calculator, Notes, Viewer, Task Manager, Paint, Snake, Clock, Web Apps, GoBrowser and the GoBrowse Studios Store — all functional, zero installs.

Real connectivity

Wi-Fi scan & connect with WPA2–WPA3 profiles, Bluetooth discovery and pairing, live battery status and a signed-driver inventory — wired into the quick panel and taskbar.

USB

Portable USB edition

Drop the portable exe on a stick and your whole desktop — state and Home folder — lives on it. Plug in to resume, unplug for the USB-REMOVED layer, one-click eject when you go.

ISO

ISO & portable builds

npm run dist gives you an installer and a self-contained exe; npm run iso burns a labelled data disc with the portable app, autorun and a readme.

MV3

MV3 WebExtension

The same desktop boots as your browser's new tab. Load extension/dist unpacked in Edge or Chrome and GoBrowserOS runs inside the browser itself.

New in 1.0

Stay connected.

GoBrowserOS speaks to real hardware, not mock data — via a native WinRT/WMI helper and Windows' own tooling.

  • Wi-Fi scan, connect, forget and saved profiles via netsh (WPA2 & WPA3)
  • Bluetooth discovery, pairing and unpairing via WinRT
  • Battery charge, runtime and health via WMI — pinned in the taskbar
  • Adapter details and a signed-driver inventory with update hints
  • Quick-panel radio tiles and a real battery row in the tray
  • All exposed to the OS and extensions as gos.wifi, gos.bt, gos.battery, gos.drivers

GoBrowse Studios Store installing Paint, Snake and Clock

Grow it with the Store

Paint, Snake and Clock install from the built-in GoBrowse Studios Store — apps run locally, no accounts, no telemetry.

Files works against the real filesystem, Terminal streams to the real system shell, and Task Manager graphs live Electron process metrics.

Watch

Full Desktop. In Your Browser.
