A note from the developer: I’m going in for surgery and will be away from the keyboard for a short while. ThorOS isn’t going anywhere — downloads and the community stay open, and development picks straight back up the moment I’m out.

Support ThorOS

ThorOS is free, open source, and built by a tiny team on spare hardware. If you believe in private, local-first AI, here's how you can help keep it growing.

🎯 Current goal: upgrade the development machine

Every feature and every demo video is made on one aging PC with a budget graphics card — and it's hit its limit for what ThorOS can now do (it runs several AI models at once… the machine can't). We're raising funds for a stronger GPU and memory so development and demos can keep up with the OS.

Can't chip in? Sharing the fundraiser helps just as much.

💛 Donate via PayPal

Every bit goes straight into the project — GPUs for testing, drives for builds, and the time it takes to make this real. Even a few dollars genuinely helps.

Donate with PayPal

🖥️ Send hardware

ThorOS lives or dies on the GPUs we can test it on. If you have hardware gathering dust — a graphics card, RAM, an SSD, a spare machine — it directly becomes more capability for everyone. We'll happily credit donors.

Most useful right now:

  • NVIDIA GPUs (8 GB VRAM and up) — for bigger local models
  • DDR-class RAM and SATA/NVMe SSDs
  • A spare desktop or mini-PC to test installs on

🛠️ Contribute code

The biggest help of all is building with us. Write an agent for your favorite program, improve the core, fix a bug, or just try the ISO and tell us what broke. It's all in the open.

📣 Spread the word

Star the repo, share the project, tell a friend who cares about privacy. Reach matters more than money for a project this young.

Thank you

Whether it's a dollar, a GPU, a pull request, or a share — you're helping build a computer that answers to its owner. That means everything.
