Ciyora OS ยท In development
Ciyora OS, the AI-native OS made for Bharat.
A desktop that does things for you in your language, shows you the plan first, and lets you undo anything. Private by default, on your own PC.
Ciyora OS is not released yet. We label every feature on this site so you know where it stands. No dates are promised.
- In preview builds runs in our internal preview builds
- In development being built now
- Coming soon designed, not built yet
Ask in your words. See the plan. Approve. Undo if you change your mind.
Ciya is the assistant built into Ciyora OS. Ask it to tidy a folder, find a document, set up a flow or change a setting. Before anything happens, Ciya shows you each step it will take. Nothing runs until you approve, and every change it makes can be undone.
- Plans shown first, run only after you approve In preview builds
- One-step undo for everything Ciya does In preview builds
- "Hey Ciya", with the wake word detected on the device In development
- Voice in Indian languages through Bhashini Coming soon
Glass you will want to look at all day
Two original looks, Crystal and Luminous, each in light and dark. Layered glass, soft depth and motion that feels physical: windows open from where you clicked, fold into the dock and settle with a gentle spring. Reduced motion is one switch away.
- Crystal and Luminous looks in light and dark, switched live In preview builds
- Top bar with a floating dock In preview builds; a single bottom bar layout as an alternative In development
- Premium motion for windows, the dock, overview and notifications, with a reduced-motion setting In preview builds
Your PC works for you, not for advertisers
On the device first
Ciya works things out on your PC. Cloud models are off until you switch them on.
End-to-end encryption
Device pairing, Vault sync and backups are encrypted on your device before anything is sent.
Passkeys
Sign in with a passkey instead of a password you have to remember.
No ads
No advertising in the system, the Store or the apps, and no selling of what you do.
The things you reach for every day
Each one is part of the system, works with Ciya, and keeps your data on your side.
- In development
Rewind
Automatic snapshots of your files and system, so you can step back to how things were, plus off-device backups that are de-duplicated, compressed and encrypted before they leave.
- In development
Vault
Passwords and passkeys in one place, with autofill in the browser and apps, synced between your devices with end-to-end encryption.
- In development
Link
Your phone and your PC working as one. Devices pair with a code shown on both screens and talk over an encrypted channel.
- Coming soon
Peek and Live Text
Preview any file with one key, without opening an app. Select and copy text straight out of photos, screenshots and scanned pages.
- In development
Capture
Screenshots and screen recordings of a window, a region or the whole screen, with quick markup and sharing.
- In development
Focus modes
Work, study or sleep: choose which people and apps may interrupt you, and let Ciya switch modes on a schedule.
- In development
Flows
No-code automation by asking. Tell Ciya what should happen and when; it writes the flow, shows you each step, and runs it only once you approve.
- In preview builds
Move
Bring files, settings, Wi-Fi networks and browser profiles from your old Windows, macOS or Linux PC, over your local network or an external drive. Nothing passes through the internet.
- In preview builds
Safe updates
Signed updates install in one step. A snapshot is taken first, and if the new version does not start cleanly the system rolls back on its own.
- In preview builds
Ciyora Store
Apps reviewed before they are listed, installed into their own containers, each asking for the permissions it needs.
- In development
Ciyora ID
One account for your devices, family members and child profiles, signed in with a passkey.
Bring your own cloud, and make it one private drive
Combine the storage you already have, from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Zoho WorkDrive, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2 or your own NAS, into one encrypted pool. Files are encrypted on your PC before upload, with the redundancy you choose. We never see your files.

Questions about Ciyora OS
Can I download Ciyora OS today?
Not yet. Ciyora OS is in development and runs in our internal preview builds. Ask for early access and we will tell you when testing opens.
What hardware will it need?
A 64-bit PC with UEFI firmware is the first target, so most laptops and desktops from recent years should run it. Ciya adapts to your machine: smaller on-device models on modest PCs, larger ones on machines with more memory. We will publish exact requirements and a list of certified models before release.
How much will it cost?
Pricing to be announced. Ciyora OS will not show you ads.
Does Ciya send what I say to the cloud?
Not by default. Requests are worked out on your PC, and cloud AI models stay switched off until you turn them on. If you do, Ciyora shows which requests go to the cloud.
What does "made for Bharat" mean in practice?
Indian languages on screen and by voice, Indian number and currency formats, and integrations with India's public digital services, built in rather than added later. Several of these are still being built; each one is labelled on our India page.
Is Ciyora OS open source?
No. Ciyora OS is proprietary software developed by Ciyora. Like most operating systems, it includes third-party open-source components, such as the Linux kernel, which stay under their own licences. We credit them on our third-party software page and provide their source code where those licences require it.
Want to try Ciyora OS early?
Tell us a little about how you would use it, and we will get in touch when testing opens.
