Secure updates
Updates are signed and verified before they install, so you only ever run genuine WolfOS code.
Privacy & Security
Your computer should answer to you.
WolfOS Core 1.2 is built on a simple idea: the operating system works for you, not on you. No watching, no harvesting, no surprises.
No telemetry
Nothing phones home.
WolfOS doesn't collect your activity, your usage, or your habits. There's no background reporting to switch off, because there's nothing reporting in the first place.
- Off by default — and off means off
- No usage profiles built about you
- No advertising identifiers anywhere in the system
Usage telemetry
Never collected
Crash reports
Only if you choose to send one
Advertising ID
Not present
Location services
Per-app, ask every time
Sandboxing
Every app stays in its lane.
Apps in WolfOS run inside their own sandbox. An app can only see and touch what you've granted it — so a problem in one app can't quietly become a problem for your whole system.
- Isolated by default — apps can't snoop on each other
- Contained failures — a misbehaving app stays contained
- Least privilege — apps start with access to nothing
Permissions
You hold the keys.
Camera, microphone, files, location — WolfOS asks before an app can reach any of them, in plain language. And you can change your mind at any time, for any app, in one place.
- Clear prompts — you always know what's being asked
- One control panel — review and revoke access anytime
- No silent access — nothing gets a free pass

Open & auditable
Trust, because you can check.
WolfOS is fully open source. You don't have to take our word for any of this — the code is there for anyone to read, and a community of people does exactly that.
- Every line is public — no hidden behaviour
- Reviewed in the open — many eyes, fewer surprises
- Signed releases — verify what you downloaded is genuine

Built-in protection
Secure, quietly.
Good security shouldn't be a chore. In WolfOS, the safe choice is the default choice.
Disk encryption
Turn on full-disk encryption during setup, so a lost or stolen device doesn't mean lost data.
Safe defaults
WolfOS ships locked down. You open things up deliberately — nothing risky is on out of the box.
One-click rollback
If an update or change ever causes trouble, step back to the last good state instantly.
No bundled bloat
Less software shipped means less to keep patched. WolfOS includes only what earns its place.
Transparent by design
Open source, public roadmap, open discussion. Security through honesty, not obscurity.
