Currently, with the base system you can find a full suite of applications bundled, some for private use, like the file manager, a word processor, a music player, calendar, notepad or contacts manager. There are also some groupware applications, such as a group manager, a file sharing application, a group board and many more.
eyeOS is Open Source, licensed under the GNU Public License version 3 (GPL3), which means that you can have your own private eyeOS server for your Family and Friends, Company or Web Network, completely free. But it also means you can browse through the eyeOS source code and access the eyeOS development tools to customize your system and develop new applications that fit your specific needs.
eyeOS is all about
centering the work and entertainment to a single place. eyeOS is all
about removing compatibility issues between applications and operating
systems. eyeOS is all about taking your life everywhere.
As you can see, the idea behind eyeOS is not to have an
Operating System inside an Operating System, or a browser inside a
browser. eyeOS is another step in the digital life era:
- Being able to work from everywhere, despite of using a full featured modern computer, a mobile gadget or a
completely obsolete pc. - Sharing resources easily between different work centers of a same company, or working from different
places and countries in the same projects. - Enjoying always the same applications with the same open formats, and forgetting the usual compatibility
problems between Office suites or traditional operating systems. - Being able to continue working if you have to leave your local computer or it just crashes, without loosing data
or time in solving its problems: Just log in to your eyeOS from another place and continue working.
