Introduction

Your home on the World Computer.

ElastOS gives you a home. Elacity gives you a shop. Your files, identity, money and AI belong on a computer you own. Elacity is the market between those computers: the protocol for trade from Home to Home.

These docs cover ElastOS v2 (release 2.0.0) and Elacity Exchange, the market we are building on top of it. Docs for ElastOS v1 (PC2) are under Earlier docs.

Your home

A desktop called Home, on your own Mac or Linux machine. Every App gets only what you grant.

Your shop

The market between ElastOS Homes. We help create the markets through a protocol for trade.

What you get

Your identity, beyond the app

Sign in with a passkey. Your identity is made from your own keys, so no platform can suspend it.

Your data, kept at home

Your files live on your computer and go out only when you share them.

Your AI, with your limits

A local model answers on your machine. Hosted AI sends nothing until you approve it.

Local by design, connected by choice

Carrier links your Home to other Homes for chat, contacts and sharing.

Install ElastOS

On a Mac with Apple silicon, or on Linux (x86_64 or ARM64), open a terminal and run:

curl -fsSL https://elastos.elacitylabs.com/install.sh | bash

Home opens at http://localhost:8090/home/. Full install guide

Why ElastOS

  • Passkey sign-in with a Recovery Kit, and a Profile DID that is yours.
  • Apps in Home: Assistant, Chat, People, Library, Documents, Wallet, Marketplace, Inbox and System. Browser on Apple silicon Macs.
  • Community and contacts over Carrier, with direct messages and file sharing.
  • Local AI, and hosted AI only after you approve it.
  • Signed updates that you approve with your passkey, with automatic rollback.
