The desktop is achromatic — trust is the only color
Design concepts
Interactive concept renders of the PolymerOS user experience. Every surface follows one rule: color is reserved for the security state of your compartments, drawn by the compositor where no application can forge it.
The trust-visible desktop
The overall experience: an invisible-by-default OS where the security structure of your session is one glance away, never in your way.
CompositorTrust decorations
Unforgeable per-window trust rings, drawn by the compositor. A browser window can lie about anything except its color.
LauncherYour polymer
Not an app menu — the live molecule of your session: running compartments as bonded hexagons, temporary grants counting down.
SettingsPolicy, made human
Launch policy as plain choices — what a compartment remembers, how it reaches the network, which devices it may use. Every control maps to an enforced field.
MonitorWatch and stop — nothing else
Per-compartment usage against each bond's resource cap, a calm suspend-all, and a presence-gated emergency stop.
BondsNotifications & attention
Every notification names the bond it rode in on. Attention is a grant like any other — scoped, visible, revocable.
BondsDevices & network
Hardware and network access as live bonds: which compartment holds the camera, for how long, and the one place to cut it.
These are concept renders in the PolymerOS design language, not screenshots — the running
compositor implements the same system (the trust decorations are already built into development images).
Source for every concept lives in the public repository under docs/.
