wros is the command line for White Room OS. It runs and reaches every core (email, calendar, tasks, contacts, PDFs) on your own machine, encrypted and private. Sill is the optional companion app on top.

Not a Linux distro. Something different.

Why it exists

Most of what you do on a computer slips out of your hands. Your messages, files and habits end up on someone else's servers, in formats you can't read, behind accounts you don't control. White Room OS starts from the opposite premise: you own your bits. Privacy isn't a setting you hunt for. It's the ground everything else is built on.

Traditional operating systems can give you that control, but only if you're willing to become an expert. Everyone else trades ownership for convenience. The command line gives you the whole system directly, and Sill, the companion app, brings the same power to regular people through one calm interface, while the core stays small, simple and ready to grow.

Own your bitsYour data stays under your control, in formats you can read and take with you.

Keep it minimalA small core and few moving parts. Every piece has to earn its place.

Grow by compositionNew abilities arrive as new cores on the same foundation, so the system scales without bloating.

Objectives

What we are working toward

In order: what we are shipping first, what we promise while doing it, and where it leads.

01 · Now

A first public release of wros and Sill

Installers for Windows and Debian-family Linux, checked against published SHA-256 sums, with the command line first and the companion app alongside. No public release exists yet.

02 · Always

Your data stays yours

An encrypted local database, passwords and tokens held by one isolated component, and every outside connection listed and switchable. Nothing leaves your machine except to the provider you chose.

03 · Next

Everything the app does, the terminal does

One command line for every core, usable by people, scripts and AI agents under a clear safety policy. Gaps between app and terminal are written down and closed over time.

04 · Later

White Room OS

The long-term vision: a Vulkan-powered, editable 2D, 3D and VR desktop with messaging at its center, where tasks and programs are living, interactive things. Still on the drawing board.

What exists today

One command line.
Sill alongside it.

The first pieces of White Room OS are built: wros, the command tool that runs and reaches every core, and Sill, a companion app for people who prefer a window to a terminal.

A single entry point for every core

Mail, calendar, tasks and more are separate cores, each small and focused. wros starts them, installs and updates them, and runs every command they offer, so scripts, shortcuts and Sill itself speak the same language.

example

$ wros install -d
$ wros up
$ wros task add "buy milk" --due fri
$ wros email list --limit 5
$ wros sill up
# → opens the Sill app

The calm window onto the same cores

Sill closes the gap between a traditional OS and everyday people. You get the power of the system in one calm window, centered on people and groups rather than protocols, with no terminal required.
