Tell your computer what to do. It never leaves your desk.
Hiportex is a desktop operating system with an integrated AI service layer. Ask it in your own words to sort your files, set up a driver or convert a document, and it does it, on your machine. The AI model runs entirely on your computer, offline: no account, no cloud, no uploads. You see the plan before anything changes. Most changes can be undone, and when one can't, you're told before you approve.
The assistant built into Hiportex.
AIOS is the window where you tell your computer what you want, in your own words. It isn't a chatbot bolted onto a desktop: it's the integrated AI service layer, part of the system and always there. It does the work, you stay in charge, and the system remembers how to undo.
Private, and offline
The AI model is installed with the system and runs on your own processor and graphics card. No account, no cloud, no uploads. Unplug the internet and it still works.
Does the work, not just the talking
Ask it to organize a folder, set up a driver or convert a document, and it does it, on your files, on your machine. You see the plan before anything changes.
It can put things back
Before it changes your files or your system, it saves a way back: a restore point, or a recorded undo. Sorted the wrong folder, installed the wrong driver? Pick the change in Restore points and roll it back.
A messy folder, tidied in one sentence.
It sorts the loose files into folders by type. You see every move before it happens, and you can take the whole sort back.

Answers questions about your computer from the computer itself.ما هي الجاذبية؟
Ask in English or Arabic, and it answers in the language you wrote in.
Hiportex is in beta: some of these are still being refined.
Not another AI that wants the keys.
Most AI assistants either only talk, or act on their own and hope for the best. Hiportex does the work and keeps you in charge: it proposes, you decide, and the system remembers how to undo.
How AIOS keeps you in charge.
You say what you want
Typos and all. "renmae notes.txt to hello.txt" works.
It shows you the plan
Exactly what will be created, moved, changed or deleted, before anything runs.
You approve, and it's done
A way back is saved first, and a receipt shows what actually changed on your disk.
Changed your mind?
Open Settings › Restore points, pick the change and roll it back.
“make a text file called notes.txt in Documents with the words hello”
~/Documents/notes.txt created
A restore point is saved before anything changes. Your files never leave this machine.
Things can go wrong. They can't stay wrong.
Before AIOS changes your files or your system, it saves a way back: a restore point, or a recorded undo. A driver that breaks the display, a folder sorted the wrong way, a package you didn't want: pick it in Restore points and roll it back. When a change can't be undone, the plan says so before you approve.
And the AI never holds the keys. It can only propose. Fixed rules decide what any plan is allowed to do, and the system enforces them.
What it doesn't do: it can't stop you approving a bad plan, and it doesn't cover changes made outside AIOS. Hiportex guarantees your machine. Your judgment is yours.

already restoredWhen something goes wrong, it says so.
If a change can't be made safely, AIOS refuses — and tells you why, in plain words, before anything runs. If something can't be undone, you're told before you approve, not after. And it never reports a change it didn't make: receipts are written by the system from what actually happened on your disk, not by the AI from what it meant to do.
The same in small things. Ask where the AI is running and it tells you — graphics card or processor, and whether that's slower.
“read ~/.ssh/id_rsa”
That's outside the folders I'm allowed to read. Nothing was opened.
It doesn't watch your screen.
Hiportex takes no screenshots, records no keystrokes, and keeps no history of what you looked at. AIOS reads only the folders you've allowed, like Documents and Pictures. Everything outside them, including the hidden folders where passwords and keys are kept, is off limits. Everything it knows about your files stays on your disk, and you can tell it to forget a file or a whole folder. There is no account, and AIOS never sends your files anywhere. Your computer goes online only to check for updates and set its clock, and to fetch the updates and downloads you approve. Unplug the network and AIOS still works.

If you've used Windows or a Mac, you already know how to use it
A taskbar, a start menu, a system tray, windows that behave the way you expect. Files and settings where you'd look for them. A browser, a file manager, a PDF and photo viewer, an office suite and the usual tools are already installed, in a dark or a light look. Underneath it's KDE Plasma on Debian 13 — a desktop millions use — so it's familiar on day one and stable for years.
Built on Debian 13
One of the most trusted Linux foundations, with Debian's own security updates. Hiportex's signed package archive is public at deb.hiportex.com; installed machines start taking their updates from it in a later release.
How Hiportex is built, layer by layer.
Every step, done or not, with two marks. Built means the code ships in the image. Proven means it was seen working on a real installed computer, not only in tests. Nothing is left off because it isn't finished. Read it from the foundation down.
The AI proposes, fixed rules decide, and the kernel or a locked-down helper enforces. AIOS never sends your files anywhere. Most changes can be undone, and when one can't, the plan says so before you approve.

Why “Hiportex”? From the hippocampus, where memory forms, and the prefrontal cortex, which decides what to do — and what not to.
Hiportex beta
The beta is out, free for anyone to try. Download the image, check its fingerprint, and install it on a spare disk.
Download
Download hiportex-2026.11.10-beta.iso
- Released
- 10 November 2026
- Size
- 7.6 GB (7,650,023,424 bytes)

The fingerprint (SHA-256) is also published beside the image: hiportex-2026.11.10-beta.iso.sha256.
Installing it
The installer erases one whole disk. Everything on it, every operating system and every file, is replaced. Use a spare disk, or one you have backed up.
- Check the download. Its fingerprint must match the one above, character for character:
sha256sum hiportex-2026.11.10-beta.iso
- Write it to a USB stick of 16 GB or more, with Fedora Media Writer, balenaEtcher or
dd. This erases the stick. - Start the computer from the stick. The installer opens by itself after a few seconds.
- Choose the disk to erase. The installer names each disk and what is on it, and asks you to type ERASE before it goes ahead.

Graphics built into the processor are not used for the AI. With a smaller card, AIOS times the card against the processor and uses whichever answers faster.
Source code

Tell us what happened
Something broke, something felt slow, or you have an idea. Every report is read, and the ones with clear steps get fixed first.
What helps us most
- The exact words you typed to AIOS.
- A photo or screenshot of the screen when it went wrong.
- Whether it happens again if you try the same thing.
Found a problem with a change?
You can undo it yourself first: open AIOS, go to Settings › Restore points, find the change and press Roll back. Then tell us what happened.
