Your computer, from any browser.
Sign in from any device and pick up exactly where you left off. Your desktop, apps, files, and settings follow your account — the only thing you need is a browser.
A complete operating system, delivered as a URL.
Switchboard runs the shell, apps, files, settings, and app permissions as a browser-native operating system. The browser is the display, not the product boundary.
A familiar computer model, delivered as a web service.
Instead of syncing files between devices or renting a remote desktop, Switchboard gives your account its own operating system. The device in front of you only needs a browser.
A desktop that follows you
Open windows, launch apps, manage files, change settings, and resume work from another device without rebuilding your setup.
- Window manager, launcher, taskbar, and settings
- Files, settings, and layout persist between sessions
Apps that belong to the OS
Apps are installed, launched, sandboxed, and mediated by the browser kernel. They feel local to the workspace because the OS owns the services.
- Files, permissions, IPC, and privileged APIs
- Office, browser, terminal, media, and utility apps
- Built-in app store for installation and publishing
A real Linux terminal, built in
Shells, CLIs, build tools, and scripts run from the same desktop. No SSH setup, no separate VM — just open a terminal and go.
- Terminal access from inside the OS
- Container-backed compute on paid plans
- Outbound network access for real workflows
Ship apps into the OS
Write, test, and publish apps into the environment your users already have. The platform is the development environment.
- Code editor and project file tree
- AI-assisted app generation
- App publishing on Pro and above
Run Windows apps, too
Wine is pre-configured on paid plans so legacy tools, niche utilities, and older .exe software run from the same desktop. No separate Windows machine, no VM, no license required.
- Launch .exe applications directly from the workspace
- Wine pre-installed and ready on Pro and above
- No Windows license or separate machine needed
- App compatibility varies by title
