MicroPythonOS

MicroPythonOS is the first modern graphical operating system designed to provide a complete, out-of-the-box experience for resource-constrained hardware such as microcontrollers like ESP32.

OS as in operating system

Inspired by platforms like Android and iOS, it offers:
- An easy-to-use app store
- A beautiful LVGL-based UI for touchscreens and buttons
- Rich widgets and gesture support
- Theme customization
- Built-in Wi-Fi manager
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates

OS as in open source

The entire software stack is fully open source. This openness stands in contrast to increasingly restrictive mobile ecosystems, which are evolving into tightly controlled “walled gardens” with strict rules on app distribution, content, and monetization.

Platform & Compatibility

MicroPythonOS currently targets the ESP32 family, but in principle, it can run on any device that supports MicroPython.

It can also run as a desktop application (fullscreen or windowed), enabling:
- Rapid development cycles
- Easier debugging
- Convenient app testing without hardware

Support more harware!

Current hardware support includes:
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs)
- Cameras
- Touchscreens
- IO expanders
- Displays
- Low-level interfaces (ADC, GPIO, I2C, etc.)
- Support for specific devices

Make more apps!

The number of available apps is steadily increasing, but we’re still waiting for yours!
