Every new tab becomes a nostalgic desktop: icons, draggable windows, a Start menu and a taskbar clock. Windows 95/XP vibes. Remember booting up the family computer? RetrOS turns every new tab into a cozy turn-of-the-millennium desktop — windows you can drag, resize, minimize and maximize, a Start menu, a working taskbar clock, and a pile of built-in apps. DESKTOP • Draggable, resizable windows with minimize / maximize, a Start menu and a live taskbar clock + calendar. • Desktop icons you can rearrange (snap-to-grid), a right-click menu, and sticky notes you can drop anywhere. • A Recycle Bin that actually holds your deleted notes and shortcuts (restore or empty them). APPS • Notepad, a Calculator, Paint (your drawing is saved), a Command Prompt with a few hidden commands, a private Shortcuts launcher, and a little in-window web browser. GAMES • Minesweeper (Beginner / Intermediate / Expert), Solitaire (Klondike), Snake, and Blocks — all playable right on your desktop. LOOK & FEEL • Six themes inspired by classic operating systems — switch the whole desktop in a click. • RetroTunes, a built-in chiptune music player with a volume control. • Optional CRT screen effect, an idle screensaver, a boot screen, retro sound effects (mute from the taskbar), and a few easter eggs to discover. Private by design: your settings, themes, notes, drawings, scores and layout are stored only on your device with the browser's storage. Nothing is collected, tracked, or sent anywhere. Free, with no ads. RetrOS is an original, independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft, Apple, or any other company. All visuals are original recreations made for fun and nostalgia.
