How PawOS works

How PawOS is organised, for engineers and administrators.

PawOS is a desktop app that runs on your computer. It works directly with your files, terminal, browser and connected accounts — and asks before it changes anything.

Each request is routed to a specialised engine — Coding, Browser, Infrastructure, Communication, Companion or Governance — so each kind of work is handled by the part of PawOS built for it.

Every change to your machine goes through a dedicated, checked action that follows your plan and permission rules, and every action is written to a Work Record.

Note

Team and Enterprise data is isolated per organization — members only ever see their own organization’s data.
