Profile
Your profile is stored on your Vortex Node and synced across your devices.
Appearance
Choose a wallpaper style. This syncs through your Vortex Node with the rest of your desktop profile.
This device
VortexOS now uses your Vortex Node as the source of truth. Signing out here only removes this device session and returns you to the node sign-in screen.
Clock
Control the time display in the OS taskbar.
Search
Sets the default engine for the taskbar search button. Shift+Enter always searches onion links via Torry.
This only applies to apps that do not already have their own saved open mode from Add app or Edit app.
Fullscreen
Works best in desktop browsers. iOS full-screen requires Add to Home Screen.
Vortex Node
Connect VortexOS to your self-hosted Vortex Node. Status is shown first so the user can glance at it immediately. Live remote is the only browser path exposed here until translated and hybrid rendering are genuinely stable.
Node routing and live remote browser
Broken browser modes are hidden on purpose in this build. The Browser now runs in live remote mode only, which is the stable path.
Two-factor authentication
Replace with:Software updates
By default the node updates from the official public Vortex repo. Change these only if you want this node to pull updates from your own fork or another GitHub repo.
Two-factor authentication
Node maintenance
Your encrypted Vortex OS blob already auto-syncs to the node whenever local settings are saved while connected, so manual upload/download buttons are removed here.
Apps
Built-in apps come with VortexOS. Hosted websites load from a URL. Custom HTML apps are stored directly on your synced Vortex Node profile. Add or edit an app to change how it opens. Prefix a hosted website URL with
vortexnet: to run it through your connected Vortex Network node, for example vortexnet:https://google.com. You can pin up to 10 apps to the dock.
