The Wise Open-source OS for Mobile Systems

Core Principles

The DawnOS project is dedicated to the development of a Linux-based operating system for the Divine phone, with a strong emphasis on promoting digital well-being and data security.
Our goal is to create an open-source mobile OS that not only provides a unique and seamless user experience but also prioritizes privacy and security of its user.
DawnOS is built on the principles of transparency, security, and innovation, with a commitment to delivering a mobile OS that is both powerful and user-friendly.
We believe in the importance of:

Transparency: Open-source and free code, transparent development processes, and clear communication with our community.
Security: Robust security measures, regular updates, and a focus on protecting user data.
Innovation: Leveraging the latest advancements in technology to create a highly capable mobile OS

Key Features

DawnOS is a GNU Linux distribution embedded to operate on the Devine phone. It features a UI for mobile systems and Privacy and security are by design.
DawnOS is built to incorporate features such as:
• Default End-to-end encryption for all data stored on the device
• Secure boot and verified boot to ensure the integrity of the OS
• Strict app permissions and access controls to limit data sharing
• Full hardware ownership and accommodation of hardware kill switches
• Secure key management and storage
• No Tracking
• Security by isolation: Running the system solely on the CPU, RAM and Storage with no interaction to any external peripheral
• Running free drivers and firmware
• Security updates and feature enhancement

User Experience and Applications: Customizable and intuitive user interface, with features such as:
• A clean and minimalistic design language
• Graphical hardware acceleration, 2D and 3D for browsing, video playback and gaming
• Novel virtual assistants powered by open-source AI models for countless use-cases
• Snappy navigation and multitasking capabilities
• Push Notifications
• Web Applications, such as HTML5 running contained and isolated
• Ad-free stock applications

Optimized performance:
• A lightweight and efficient Linux kernel
• Constant improvement of drivers and low-level code
• Advanced process management and scheduling
• Absence of bloatware, and unoptimized applications
• On-demand CPU governor
• Efficient RAM and storage usage

Energy Optimization:
• Advanced power management and battery life extension
• System power-gating and CPU frequency scaling
• Support for low-power suspend mode
• Memory management and optimization

Novel Features :
• The world's first Linux OS to bring local and private Artificial Intelligence to any mobile system:
• By fostering the hardware capability of the Divine phone, DawnOS integrates open-source large language and smaller models, allowing for local AI inference and processing, removing reliance on cloud services and enhancing user privacy.
• Enhanced graphical and audio applications, such as gaming and HIFI Music playback

Development Roadmap

In conjunction with the progress of Divine project, the work on DawnOS starts with phases of bring-ups that implement essential parts of the system such as the bootloader and the kernel.
We then move on to development of the user application and the UI. The roadmap can be planned as such with flexibility depending on the project status:

Core Development
• Establish a stable kernel and file system
• Implement drivers and firmware
• Develop a basic user interface and package manager
• Integrate core security and privacy features

Feature Enhancement
• Implement essential home/desktop applications
• Implement power management and connectivity

Continuous improvement and Refining
• Conduct thorough testing and debugging
• Refine the user experience and address community feedback
• Optimize performance and energy efficiency

Please refer to the Roadmap of the Devine phone development for a time-lined plan.

Community Involvement

DawnOS is an open-source project, and we believe that community involvement is essential to creating a truly innovative and secure mobile OS.
We invite developers, researchers, and enthusiasts to join our community and contribute to the development of DawnOS.
