Overview
FutureOS is an advanced, high-performance desktop application engineered for seamless native performance, local-first data processing, and refined user experience.
FutureOS is built on open-source principles to guarantee security, privacy, and full reproducibility. All sensitive data transformations run locally on your hardware with zero telemetry or unexpected cloud dependencies.
Key Technical Features & Capabilities
Choose the execution boundary. File-access approvals and OS sandboxing for agent tools, in four tiers:
off, manual, sandbox — and auto, the sandbox with the model reviewing the requests that would otherwise interrupt you. The desktop starts at Unrestricted (off); switch to Manual, Sandboxed or auto before working with untrusted content. See the security model and sandbox guide for defaults and limitations.One backend, every surface. A single gRPC agent drives the terminal UI, desktop app, mobile apps, CLI, and IM bots — same sessions, same memory, same skills, wherever you happen to be.: Streamlined desktop functionality optimized for macOS and Windows.
Long runs need engineering, not prompting. The built-in goal control plane gives durable goals, event-sourced state, and verification gates to runs of 24+ hours — start a research task at night, review the results from your phone in the morning.: Streamlined desktop functionality optimized for macOS and Windows.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Problem: macOS Gatekeeper displays *"App is damaged and can't be opened"* or unnotarized developer notice.
Root Cause: macOS quarantine flag set on binaries downloaded outside the Mac App Store.
Resolution: Open Terminal and run:
bash
xattr -cr /Applications/FutureOS.app
Alternatively, navigate to System Settings > Privacy & Security and select Open Anyway.
Problem: High memory consumption during batch processing operations.
Root Cause: Large media buffers retaining uncompressed state.
Resolution: Adjust batch concurrency in settings or process assets in focused batches.
