Your computer should remember how you work.

THREAD is an independent operating system on a Linux foundation, built by Jamil Islamov. Its core idea is a context engine: shut down mid-thought, and it helps you pick the thread back up.

Alpha 0.1: boots to a login prompt. The desktop is next.
Hi, I’m Jynza. Tap me.

Try THREAD without installing it.

This shell is simulated in your browser, so you can explore. The only real thing here is the boot replay, which uses lines from an actual test boot of the alpha ISO. Type help, or tap a command.

It remembers context, not just files.

Most computers keep your documents. THREAD is designed to keep your place: the project you had open, what you decided, and what was still unresolved.

Confirmed
Checked and known to be true.
You decided
A choice you made yourself.
Observed
Something the system saw happen.
AI guess
An interpretation. Always labelled, never passed off as fact.
Unknown
Open questions stay open. THREAD never invents a memory to fill them.

Rewind a morning

Sample data to show the idea, not your history.

Technology without unnecessary boundaries.

The goals every part of THREAD is built toward.

Local first

Your data stays on your machine. THREAD is designed not to collect or send anything in secret.

You decide what’s remembered

Exclude apps, inspect what’s stored, set retention, delete anything.

Works without the internet

The optional AI assistant is planned to use local models first. The system must work fine without it.

Built on proven ground

A real Linux kernel with a Debian or Ubuntu base. The identity lives in the shell, services and Memory.

Where THREAD really is today.

Everything below was tested in an emulator, not on real hardware. Plain progress beats oversold progress.

Built and tested

  • Reproducible ISO build script
  • Boots in QEMU to a THREAD login
  • Login, file create, move, delete
  • Network interface detected
  • Clean shutdown

Next

  • Memory engine in Rust, with tests
  • Minimal Wayland desktop
  • Terminal and file manager
  • A sudo check that still fails and needs a fix

Planned

  • Rewind, Resume, Connections
  • Local AI assistant with permissions
  • Installer and updates
  • Real hardware testing
  • Jynza boot splash

Run the alpha

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1536 -cdrom thread-0.1.iso -boot d

Sign in with thread and password thread. For testing only. The build scripts are on GitHub.

  • Windows or Linux PC: QEMU or VirtualBox, or boot it from a USB stick.
  • Android: a free app like Vectras VM. Expect it to be slow.
  • ARM tablets and Macs: not supported yet.

About me: Jamil Islamov (JYNZA)

I’m Jamil Islamov, known online as JYNZA. I’m a young developer and technology enthusiast based in Baku, Azerbaijan.

I’m drawn to software engineering, operating systems, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, game development and hardware.

I’m ambitious and independent. I’d rather build my own solutions than rely entirely on existing platforms.

What I build

What I work with

Hardware: a Lenovo ThinkPad with an Intel Core i5-4200M, 8 GB RAM and a Kingston SSD. I also experiment with USB boot environments, Linux installs, and local AI models and offline assistants.

Build things. Understand everything. Keep improving.

I don’t just want to use technology. I want to understand how it works and how to create my own versions of it, and become a software and systems engineer who can build complete products independently.
