The foundation

Haiku’s contributors have spent decades building an open-source operating system inspired by BeOS: fast, coherent and thoughtfully designed for personal computing.

airOS builds on their kernel, desktop and native APIs with device support, desktop improvements and applications. It is an independent fork, with its own development approach.
