Development

The roadmap

DraftOS is early and moving fast. Here's the shape of the plan — the desktop experience first, the immutable edition once that foundation is solid. Priorities are discussed in the open.

Now Building the core

The COSMIC experience

Our theme, defaults and cohesive look — the desktop that defines DraftOS.

First-run essentials

The welcome app, initial-setup wizard and our own installer.

Desktop foundation

Our own packages and the build pipeline behind the Desktop edition.

Next Rounding out the desktop

More first-party apps

An app store, a control app and a companion — all made to fit together.

Command-line tools

Simple tools for updates, rollback and curated dev containers.

Early Desktop images

Installable live builds you can try on real hardware.

Later Beyond the desktop

Immutable edition

The atomic, self-healing edition with instant rollback.

Wider hardware & languages

Broader hardware support and localization.

Toward a first stable release

Polishing the whole experience for a stable 1.0.


Foundations

Already in place

A clean, deliberate rebuild

Started fresh with a clear architecture instead of carrying old debt forward.

Decisions written down

The design language and key choices are documented in the open, so the “why” survives.

One shared foundation

Both editions build from a single shared layer — a tool or asset is authored once.

Want to shape it? The roadmap and decisions live in the repository. This is the best time to weigh in — the direction is still being set.
