AMBIENT OS 1.0 “HORIZON”

Get Ambient OS

A Windows-class desktop, served by the machine itself.

Run Ambient two ways. Open the Terminal in your browser to try the desktop in seconds — or download the Ambient VM to install a real, native machine on your device: one that joins your network, holds its own root folder, and can Loop and couple with your other machines.

TERMINAL VS. MACHINE

TWO WAYS TO RUN AMBIENT

A browser Terminal, or a native Machine.

The same Ambient OS, delivered two ways. The Terminal is a thin client — a window into Ambient. The Machine is the real thing installed on your device, and it’s the only one that can become a Loop endpoint.

🌐

Thin client · Browser

Terminal deployment

Opens the Ambient VM Terminal in a browser tab. Nothing is installed — you’re looking at Ambient through the glass. Perfect for a quick session or a borrowed computer.

Full Ambient desktop shell, live MSCAN monitor, files & apps
Runs anywhere with a browser — nothing to install
No machine on the device — not a Loop endpoint
Can’t be bridged to, and holds no local root folder

Launch Terminal →

Opens ambientnodes.com/test/ — enter your access code.

◈

Native AVM · Installed

Machine deployment

Downloads and installs the full Ambient Virtual Machine on this device. One package carries the whole endpoint — no commands to paste.

EVM/AVM machine authority + Ambient OS shell
Runtime coupling patch + the Loop bridge, built in
A localized root folder lives on the device
Becomes a real endpoint — appears on your network, Loops & couples with your other machines

Download Ambient VM ↓

Downloads Ambient-VM-Setup.cmd — double-click to install. Windows may warn about the file; choose Keep / Run anyway.

And give the machine a telephone.

Ambient Phone is the desktop softphone that accompanies Ambient OS: a frameless window with no title bar, in four sizes, answering a number that belongs to the machine. Install it on any Windows machine — it does not need the Ambient VM, but it is at its best beside it, pinned in the Ambient OS footer.

Windows · Installed

Ambient Phone

Bar, Panel, Phone, Handset — from just the keys to the whole device
Rings on your Ambient Line, and comes to the front when it does
Pins into the Ambient OS footer as Ambient Phone

☏

Android · Installed

Ambient Phone for Android

The same telephone, the same shell, the same line — on a handset. One number rings both.

The same Compose shell the desktop runs, not a port of it
Joins the same call room as every other Ambient endpoint
Sideloaded — not on Google Play

Download the APK ↓

Android 8 and later. You will need to allow installation from this browser.

INSIDE THE MACHINE

One machine. One environment. Zero fabricated values.

Ambient OS 1.0 “Horizon” ships with the AVM and the AmbientMachineApi contract — the lineage of eVM 8, Enumium OS, and SiloEVM Native OS, rebuilt Ambient-class.

⚡

Real boot POST

Boot verifies the AVM link, MSCAN survey, resource domain, and storage mount — with measured timings.

🪟

Windows-class shell

Taskbar, Start menu, tray clock, desktop icons, draggable windows with minimize / maximize / edge-snap.

📊

Live MSCAN monitor

Memory, Storage, Compute, Accelerator, Network — polled live from the host every two seconds.

◈

Unified Resource Domain

A real, file-backed governed capacity pool with a software-controlled memory / storage split.

📁

Localized root folder

The machine’s own governed Storage domain — real folders, real sizes, real timestamps — on the device.

🔗

Loop & coupling

Bridge your own devices with Loop, or grant scoped capabilities to others through coupling — every action receipted.

RUN IT

Try it in the browser, or install the machine.

The Terminal needs only the access code your host shared. The Machine installs in a couple of minutes and never needs a manual update again.
