Platforms
A platform is a separate workspace inside uOS: your family, a club, a company, a project group, or the shared uOS workspace everyone belongs to. Each platform has its own members, roles, settings and content.
The same account on all three, with a different role and name on each.
Chats, files, boards, documents, calendar and mail stay on the platform where they were created.
Your identity stays the same everywhere. Switching changes windows, desktop icons, wallpaper, theme and notifications, and new content always lands on the platform you are in. You can show a different name on each platform.
Anyone can create a platform and becomes its first owner. Open platforms are listed under "Discover open platforms": you ask to join, and the platform decides. Everyone else joins by invitation.
Every member has one role on each platform: Owner, Superuser, Admin, HR, Moderator, Member or Guest. A rights matrix decides what each role may do, from managing people to apps and security. Every member can see the member list.
Which apps are enabled, the security policy (for example a required uID security key, or how browsers may remember people), AI on or off and which provider, emergency access for organizations, and the branding. Every administrative change is written to the audit log.
When someone leaves a platform, they lose access, and the encrypted items they could open get new keys.
Owners choose whether a platform is Open or Closed. Closed platforms are invisible to outsiders and can only be joined by invitation. Open platforms can be found by every signed-in uOS user.
Weekend rides, repair evenings and the summer city tour.
Samir searches "cycling", asks to join his city's cycling club, and the next evening he is a member.
Each of these is its own platform, with its own members, roles and rules. One person can belong to many of them, and switching takes one click.
Linking platforms into a hierarchy, for example a region with its municipalities. Planned
Who it's for
One private space for the people at your table: the family chat, the shopping list, the school run and the photos from the weekend.
Who uOS helps
Before a lesson on radioactivity, she asks Marie Curie in uSages how the discovery happened, or lets Euclid explain a proof. uPresent drafts the slides from a short description, the worksheet goes to the class in uDoc, and announcements reach everyone in uLine.
Encrypted by youGroup work happens in uDoc, homework and deadlines live in uTodo, and the study group meets in uMeet. Before an exam she can put her questions to Euclid or Al-Khwarizmi in uSages. Her school platform and her family platform stay apart.
Encrypted by youContracts, plans and figures in uDoc, uSheet and Files are encrypted end to end on each device, with a post-quantum and a classical algorithm together. Roles decide who may manage what, every member signs in with a uID security key, and an escrow key recovers selected work when someone leaves.
Encrypted by youuShift plans the roster, with swaps, jump-ins and the time clock. The team talks in an encrypted uChat group, keeps the practice handbook in uDoc and meets in uMeet. uOS is the team's workspace, not a patient records system.
Encrypted by youEach client gets its own platform, with its own files, mail and boards. The platform pill switches between them in one click, and what belongs to one client never shows up at another. Clients join calls from a guest link, no account needed.
Encrypted by youAnnouncements go out in uLine, events go into the shared calendar, and volunteers pick their tasks on a board. A member builds a sign-up sheet in App Studio, and the owners approve it for the Marketplace.
Encrypted by youThe family chat, the shopping list, the school run and the photos from the weekend, in one private space that only the family can read.
See the family example Encrypted by youInternal work goes digital: documents in uDoc, meetings in uMeet, shift planning for public services in uShift and encrypted chat for staff. Residents find information on a public website built in App Studio and, once they join the town's platform, in its uLine feed. Planned, not available today: announcements and news for residents (uGov), verified citizen identity (uTrust), emergency alerts (uAlert), and polls and votes (uVote).
