Developers

Welcome to the Tau OS developer hub.
This is where builders, hackers, researchers, and curious minds come together to shape the future of a sovereign operating system.

Tau OS is open, modular, and community-driven. Whether you're into kernel-level systems programming, app development, or building privacy-first cloud services, there's a place for you here.

Our Philosophy

Freedom First

Users should own their data, identity, and digital choices.

Transparency

Every line of code is open for inspection, review, and contribution.

Security
