Glass windows floating and arranging themselves into a desktop.

Operating system in the browser

The systemcomes toyou.

A real desktop, with windows, dock and Launchpad, that opens on any screen with nothing to install. Smart TV, tablet, that old laptop or a server: same URL, same state, right where you left it.

Same URL

One desktop. Three screens. Zero installs.

Scroll and watch the same desktop rearrange itself: touch on the phone, mouse on the laptop, remote on the TV. Drag the windows, they are real.

Why it exists

An operating system is tied to hardware. RoqueOS flips that.

01 / 04

Universal interface

A real desktop, from 5 to 32 inches.

Resizable windows, dock, menu bar, Launchpad, Spotlight and Finder. The same interface answers to touch on the phone, the mouse on the laptop and the remote on the TV, in Big Picture mode.

02 / 04

Server Mode

Turn on a server and the browser becomes a Linux machine.

A Docker container at home or on a VPS unlocks a Linux terminal, VS Code, a remote browser, mapped disks, containers and the RoqueOS Agent. Optional: the PWA alone already ships dozens of apps.

03 / 04

Living platform

Never download an update again.

RoqueOS is a PWA. No install, no update to download, no reinstall when you change devices. New features show up the next time you open it.

04 / 04

Your data, yours

On your hardware, in your cloud, under your rules.

The server runs where you installed it. Self-hosting is not an architecture detail, it is a stance: your files, containers and automations stay with you.

Server Mode

One line. One server.

The same script our own fleet runs. It installs RoqueOS Server on Docker, keeps the secrets off the screen and only finishes when the server answers with the new version.

  • Linux terminal, isolated per user
  • VS Code in the browser
  • Remote browser
  • SMB, NFS and SFTP disks in the Finder
  • 155 containers in one click
  • RoqueOS Agent with its own desktop

Who it is for

Six places where RoqueOS already lives.

Home

Homelab

The visual hub for the containers, services and servers at home. Plex, Home Assistant, Nextcloud and n8n in one click, behind a Cloudflare tunnel.

Dev

Remote development

VS Code, terminal and containers from anywhere, including a tablet in a waiting room.

Edu

Education

A ready classroom for programming, with nothing installed on the student's machine. Each one gets an isolated Linux.

Home

Smart home

An automation hub with Home Assistant built in, on the phone, the laptop and the living-room TV.

QA

QA and DevOps

Isolated, container-based test environments. Up, test, down.

Legacy

Legacy app

That old application that only runs on a 2009 Windows, running in a container with a web interface.

How it compares

Side by side, without hiding what the others do well.

Where it runs

In your device's store, or in none.

The native wrappers are thin: they load the same URL and add only what the device knows how to do.

Questions

What people ask before opening it.

Is it really free?

Yes. The PWA and the apps that run on the client are free, no card, no in-app purchase. Server Mode too: the cost is the hardware or the VPS you install it on.

Do I need an account?

To keep the desktop state across devices, yes: the account is what carries your windows from one machine to the next. You can try it before creating one.

Where is my data?

Preferences and layout live in your account, under per-user rules. Files, containers and automations stay on the server you installed, on your hardware or in your cloud.

Do I need Server Mode?

No. Without a server you already have the desktop, the Finder, Notes, the image editor, the games and dozens of other apps. The server comes in when you want a Linux terminal, VS Code, containers and the agent.

Does it run on a TV?

It does. The /tv route is Big Picture mode, with remote-control navigation, and there is a webOS package for the LG Store.
