Apps that come with Wild OS
Wild OS comes with a small set of apps, so you start with what you need and nothing you don’t.
| App | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Brave | Web browser, set as the default |
| Files | Your files and folders, like File Explorer |
| Store | Installing and updating apps |
| Settings | Everything about your computer |
| Task Manager | What’s running, and how hard the computer is working |
| Terminal | Typing commands, for when you want to |
| KWrite | Plain text editor, like Notepad |
| Okular | PDFs and other documents |

| Ark | Zip files and other archives |
| KeePassXC | Password manager |

Brave blocks adverts and trackers out of the box. Wild OS also turns off its extras that send data or aren’t about browsing: Brave Rewards, Wallet, VPN, the AI assistant, News, and its usage statistics and Web Discovery. They’re switched off by policy, so they stay off.
Downloads go straight to your Downloads folder.
