ShadowOS

ShadowOS is a lightweight, privacy-focused operating system and browser environment bundled with the entire 0xShadow ecosystem — fully integrated, secure, and portable.

“ShadowOS isn’t just an OS — it’s a digital sanctuary.”

It’s designed for those who want maximum control, minimum traceability, and total freedom across the internet — without relying on Big Tech platforms or bloated OSes that leak telemetry at every turn.


🔐 Why ShadowOS?

Modern systems are:

  • Bloated with background tracking

  • Constantly phoning home to big corporations

  • Incompatible with decentralized tools

ShadowOS flips that model by:

  • Blocking all telemetry and tracking by default

  • Embedding core privacy apps (like ShadowMail, Proxy, Vault, etc.)

  • Booting from USB or VM for total portability
