about the phone

OdysseyOS is the operating system which powers our phone. We call it OdysseyOS because we take inspiration from Odysseus, the hero in the ancient Greek epic poem “The Odyssey”. 

 

During his adventures, Odysseus and his crew encounter the Sirens, beautiful but dangerous creatures who lure sailors to their deaths with their enchanting voices. As Odysseus sails by the Sirens, he orders his men to plug their ears with beeswax, and commands them to tie him to the mast of his ship, so he can listen to the Sirens' songs while ensuring he cannot give in to their temptations. Through the crew’s collective effort, they navigate through the perilous encounter and continue their epic voyage.

 

Just like Odysseus' crew who bound him to the mast, we're here to help you resist the Sirens of distraction. OdysseyOS is deliberately limited, offering only the tools needed for communication and daily utility. You'll find no games, web browsing, or multimedia apps here – just features which support you while you engage in real life. 

 

We invite you to rediscover the beauty of the world around you.. Whether you're a student focused on studies, a professional looking to increase productivity, or someone eager to reclaim their attention, OdysseyOS is designed to support you every step of the way.
