Keep authority close
Prefer local-first workflows, inspectable state and explicit consent for remote capabilities.
gnu.in.labs inc. builds systems people can inspect and control.
gnu6.live is the company’s principal public surface: a controlled view of its identity, mission, products, research, public documents and service access.
01
Mission
The company works toward practical digital autonomy: software and infrastructure that can be understood, modified, hosted and operated without unnecessary lock-in.
Use open foundations
Favor open-source software, open standards, reproducible documentation and realistic self-hosting.
Separate claims from proof
Public demonstrations, research notes and operational services are identified by their actual maturity and boundary.
02
Three distinct public identities
The company, the research program, the operating-system program and the hosted-services surface have different responsibilities.
Research and engineering
Open engineering, documentation, methods, prototypes and experimentation.
Explore research →Local-first desktop systems
A program for a coherent Linux desktop experience built around native surfaces, typed contracts and controlled local intelligence.
Gnosis.OS →Public web and hosted services
The public company surface, service entry point and controlled web/cloud delivery boundary.
