Chimerix

IridiumOS web-mode shell

Built for privacy, speed, and a low‑profile footprint.

IridiumOS Fork
This FixCraft Inc. fork is tailored exclusively for IridiumOS deployments. If you need a general-purpose Phoenix shell, use the upstream project at HeyPuter/puter.

chimerix is a web-based shell built for IridiumOS — a more private, fast, and low‑profile fork of AnuraOS. IridiumOS is a community fork; full credit for the original project goes to Mercury Workshop. Forked and modified from HeyPuter/puter (packages/phoenix), where more information on the original project can be found. Support for platforms other than IridiumOS will be removed from this fork, as this is intended to be tightly integrated with IridiumOS specifically.

Running Chimerix

In IridiumOS

Documentation on how to run Chimerix in IridiumOS is coming soon.

Why IridiumOS?

• More private: Local‑first operation, offline‑capable, and no telemetry by default.
• Faster: Lean defaults and optimizations tuned specifically for IridiumOS with additional FixCraft hardening.
• Low‑profile: Minimal network surface and a discreet UI for a quieter footprint.

Credits

• IridiumOS: FixCraft Inc’s community fork of AnuraOS — thanks to Mercury Workshop for the original project and vision.
• Chimerix: Forked from HeyPuter/puter (Phoenix) with modifications for IridiumOS integration.

Testing

You can find our tests in the test/ directory. Testing is done with mocha. Make sure it's installed, then run:

npm test

What's on the Roadmap?

We're looking to continue improving the shell and broaden its usefulness. Here are a few ideas we have for the future:

• local machine platform support

  See this issue

• further support for the POSIX Command Language
