PlugOS is a future-oriented portable smart operating system meticulously crafted by TrustKernel, seamlessly integrating high security, ultimate privacy, and a rich array of smart experiences. It runs on a fingertip-sized independent smart hardware device.

By simply plugging it into a mobile phone or computer, you can enjoy a secure, private, convenient, and enjoyable usage environment.

PlugOS is plug-and-play compatible with various mainstream terminals such as Android, iOS, and Windows.

The PlugOS system is completely hardware-isolated from the host device, leaving no traces, not connecting to the internet, and not passing through the cloud.Your data is always in your own hands.
