# Roadmap

> Where OMOS is going — from the foundation that runs today toward a graphical system that pools many machines into one.

OMOS is being built in stages, from the core outward. This page is deliberately honest about the line between **what runs today** and **what's ahead** — the vision is big, and it's fair to know what's real.

## The foundation — done

The groundwork the rest depends on already runs on all three architectures:

* Booting, and bringing up the processor and its cores.
* Managing memory and running programs in a protected user space.
* [Capability-based security](/omos/security) for every program and driver.

## In progress

* **The plumbing between parts** — the controlled channels drivers, services and apps use to talk to each other and to the core.
* **A driver and file-access framework** — the common ground that userspace drivers and services build on.

## Ahead

These are planned, not finished — the destination, in roughly the order it's being approached:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Your data, sealed">
    A built-in filesystem, **OmosFS**, that encrypts by default and keeps snapshots and integrity checks so your data can't quietly rot.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A face">
    A graphical shell — the desktop and the friendly, visible way to grant and review what your apps can do.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Getting online">
    Networking, and a compatibility layer so existing programs can run on OMOS.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Many machines, one system">
    The headline: pooling the processing, memory, and storage of every machine you own so they act as a single computer — work running wherever there's room to spare.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Running other systems">
    A virtualization layer, so OMOS can host other operating systems alongside your own.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Timelines aren't promises. OMOS is an independent project built in the open, and the order above can shift as the groundwork settles. Follow progress on the [OMOS page](https://burakov.net/projects/omos) and its [changelog](https://burakov.net/projects/omos/changelog).
