Free · Easy to use · Open to everyone
A calmer way
to compute.
KibaOS is a free desktop for your computer that's ready the moment it turns on. Your browser, your files, your apps — all waiting for you, with nothing you didn't ask for.
01 — What's inside
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
KibaOS keeps a small, handpicked application set so the system stays fast and coherent. What's there is there because it earned its place.
Ready the moment it turns on
Sit down and just start. The taskbar, the menu, the files, the cozy night-sky look — everything is already set up for you, so the first hour feels like the hundredth.
Always up to date
KibaOS receives small, regular updates instead of one big yearly upgrade. Fixes and improvements arrive quietly in the background — no download marathons, no starting over.
Apps, the easy way
Okami, the built-in app store, puts thousands of apps one search away. Find what you want, click Install, done — no downloads from random websites, no tricky installers.
Try before you commit
Run the whole desktop from a USB stick first — nothing on
your computer changes until you say so. When you're ready,
the Roko installer asks a few simple questions
and takes care of the rest.
02 — The mascot
Meet Kiba.
Every calm desktop deserves a friendly face. Kiba — the little raccoon you'll spot around KibaOS — is named after the Japanese word for fang. He doesn't do much: no pop-ups, no nagging, no interruptions. He mostly just dances, snacks on blueberries, and keeps your desktop tidy.
You can spot him dancing at the top of this very page.
03 — The desktop
Familiar where it counts.
If you've used a desktop before, you already know KibaOS. The defaults are chosen so the first hour feels like the hundredth.
In the box
A handpicked set that covers the everyday — anything else is one search away in Okami.
04 — Getting it
From download to desktop in four steps.
You can try everything first — nothing on your computer changes until you say so.
Download
Save KibaOS from the official download page — it's one file.
Copy to USB
Put it on a USB stick — any spare 8 GB stick will do.
Try it
Restart your computer from the stick and take the desktop for a spin. Nothing gets erased or changed.
Install
Happy with what you see? Roko, the installer made just for KibaOS, walks you through setup in a few minutes.

05 — Questions
Before you ask.
What is KibaOS?
It's the software that runs your computer once it starts up — the screen you see, the buttons you press. KibaOS comes with a browser, a place for your files, and an app store, all set up and ready to go the moment you turn it on.
Can I try it without installing?
Yes. KibaOS runs straight from a USB stick, so you can explore the whole desktop — and check that everything works on your computer — before anything is saved or changed.
How do updates work?
Small updates arrive regularly and install in the background. There's no big once-a-year upgrade to sit through, and you never have to start over from scratch.
Does it spy on me?
No. Nothing is ever collected without asking you first — and you can simply say no. If you do opt in, it's only anonymous info that helps the team fix problems and support more computers.
Is it really free?
Completely — free today, free forever. It's built in the open by a small team, and anyone can look at exactly how it's made. Downloads are hosted on SourceForge.
Ready for a calmer desktop?
Download KibaOS, put it on a USB stick, and see for yourself how good simple can feel. Bring blueberries — Kiba will thank you.
