Singularity is a desktop you actually enjoy using: calm, fast, and easy to make your own. No clutter, nothing nagging you, and nothing running behind your back you didn't ask for.
Backed by people who believe in it
Calm by default
Nothing fights for your attention. A clean canvas, sensible defaults, and a layout that stays out of the way until you need it. Everything is where you expect it, and nothing you do not ask for runs in the background.
Change technology, not habits
Coming from Windows or a Mac? You won't have to relearn how to use your computer. Keep the familiar bar at the top and the dock at the bottom, or merge them into one taskbar like the one you already know. Your habits stay; only what's under them changes.
A top bar and a dock, just as you know them. Fused into one panel. Your call.
One menu, always in reach
Every app's menus, File, Edit, and the rest, sit in one bar at the top, always in the same spot. Less hunting, more doing. Click a menu to open it.
A dock that works the way you do
Your apps and live status in one place. Pin what you use and jump anywhere in a click. Right-click an icon to see what it can do.
Everything, under control
Your whole system in one place. No digging through menus, no hunting for that one toggle. Wi-Fi, sound, brightness, power, every switch you reach for is right here, a click away. And the little status icons up in the bar? Exactly where you'd expect them. Need a specific setting? Search finds it in a keystroke.
Make it yours
Pick an accent and the whole desktop follows, this panel included. Try it: tap a colour and watch it change.
Search everything, everywhere
Press Super + Tab (Super is the ⊞ Windows / ⌘ Command key) from anywhere and just start typing. Open any app or jump straight to a setting in a keystroke, no mouse needed.
Apps made to belong...
A curated set of apps, designed together rather than collected. Same shapes, same gestures, same calm, so the whole system feels like one thing, not a folder of strangers.
...but it's still yours
Curated is a starting point, not a cage. Theme the whole thing to taste, keep the classic window decorations everyone already knows, or write your own look from scratch in plain CSS.
Themes, your way
Ship with a set of themes and switch on a whim, light or dark, accented or quiet.
Classic decorations
Title bars and window buttons right where your muscle memory expects them. No relearning how to close a window.
Write it in CSS
Build a fully custom theme directly in CSS. If you can style a webpage, you can restyle the whole desktop.
Every toolkit, themed
It doesn't matter if your favourite apps are Qt, GTK or Singularity. You pick the theme, and every toolkit follows.
And this is only the beginning
What you have seen is just a slice. Singularity is a whole lot more, and it is growing fast. The best way to understand it is to try it, talk to the people building it, and follow along as it takes shape.
For the curious
Want to know what runs underneath? Wayland, labwc, the shell and the framework, all of it is open to read.
Support the project
Singularity is independent. Sponsorship is what keeps it moving.
