• • Auto-delete History: Configurable automatic history cleanup
• • No Telemetry: Zero data collection or transmission
• • Local-only Data: All data stays in browser (IndexedDB)
• • Encrypted Storage: All persistent data encrypted at rest

• • WCAG 2.1 AA: Accessibility compliance for all users
• • Privacy by Design: Privacy-first architecture from the ground up
• • GDPR-friendly: No personal data collection or processing
• • Browser Sandbox: Isolated execution environment security
• • Open Standards: WebRTC

Creating a New Application

To create a new application for PN Web OS:

1. Create a new component in /lib/webos/apps/
2. Implement the AppComponentProps interface
3. Register the app in the desktop applications array
4. Add appropriate icon and metadata

Application Template

'use client'

import { AppComponentProps } from '@/lib/webos/types'
import { useWebOS } from '@/lib/webos/context/WebOSContext'

export default function MyApp({ window }: AppComponentProps) {
  const webos = useWebOS()

  return (
    <div className="h-full bg-pn-gray-900">
      <h1 className="text-white p-4">My Application</h1>
    </div>
  )
}

Complete API Reference

WebOS Context Hook

Access WebOS services using the useWebOS() hook:

const webos = useWebOS()

// Access services
webos.fileSystem.readFile('/home/user/file.txt')
webos.notificationService.info('Hello World')
webos.windowManager.createWindow(myApp)

// Access user state
const { username, tier } = webos.user
