Puter is a browser-based personal operating system and file explorer built entirely with web technologies. It mimics the experience of a traditional desktop OS, allowing users to manage files, launch apps, and interact with a graphical interface—all within a web browser. The project is designed to be both functional and nostalgic, combining the aesthetic of retro operating systems with modern development tools like React and Tailwind CSS. Puter offers a self-hostable, customizable environment for those seeking an online workspace or hobby project.
