Puter
Web-based operating system designed to be feature-rich, exceptionally fast, and highly extensible.
Puter provides a web‑based operating environment that aggregates files, applications, and games into a single, cloud‑accessible workspace. It functions as a privacy‑first personal cloud, allowing users to store and retrieve data from any device, and also offers a remote desktop interface for servers and workstations. The platform includes an app store for publishing web apps and games, and can serve as an alternative to traditional file‑sync services with a distinctive interface and extensible feature set.
The system is built on Node.js and can be run locally or via Docker, supporting Linux, macOS, and Windows. Self‑hosting is encouraged through detailed documentation, and a hosted version is available at puter.com. Minimum requirements include 2 GB RAM, 1 GB disk space, and Node 24 or newer.
Puter is released under the AGPL‑3.0 license, making it free, open‑source, and without subscription or tier limits. It is aimed at developers, power users, and anyone seeking a customizable, cloud‑native desktop experience.
