Pure Core.
Uncompromised Power.
CleanOS is a modern, bare-metal 64-bit microkernel operating system. Designed without the ballast of thirty years of legacy architecture: featuring strict process isolation, ephemeral runtime environments, and a content-addressed filesystem immune to corruption.
Architecture & Features
Built for the future
Microkernel & Isolation
Every application and driver runs isolated in Ring 3 user space or a hardware-protected EPT micro-VM. Crashed drivers can never touch the kernel.
Ephemeral Execution
Memory sections are handed over to the Lazy Zeroing queue within 1 ms of process termination. No memory leaks, no zombie processes, and no malware traces.
CleanDrive Object Store
BLAKE3 content-addressed storage system with built-in Copy-on-Write transactions. No journaling required, as file inconsistency is physically impossible.
Driver Kill Switch & Recovery
The kernel watchdog detects faulty or crashing Ring 3 drivers immediately. Within 1 millisecond, a clean instance is launched, while the active desktop keeps running.
AI-Reasoning Daemon
A local RAM-aware AI daemon (five tiers, from a compact 0.5B model on light machines up to the full 3B Q8_0 model) analyzes crash logs, filters malware activity, and selects recovery actions such as driver resets and lazy zeroing loops.
Secure App Packaging
Every driver and application is distributed in the cryptographically signed .capp file format. No unauthorized code is allowed to execute on the platform.
