Your machine, your rules.
Open source, inspectable scripts, local models, agents that answer to you — and a desktop that stays out of your way.
independent software / open hardware / smallweb
We build the wired.
xvoidsx is a small independent collective making computers personal, playful, and yours again. We build an operating system, open agents, smallweb software, music tools, and the machines that bring it all together.
LIVE FEED // navi 1.7 "mika"stable
01
Small by design. Ambitious by nature.
We don't want to own your attention. We want to help you own your computer — and have a good time doing it.
FOSS is not a category. It is how the future stays ours.
We make systems with a point of view: local before cloud, repair before replacement, open protocols before walled gardens, and personality over beige software.
The work is human-led and agent-accelerated. Raven writes the systems. Ryoko shapes the experience. Lain moves between code, docs, research, and the smallweb. Three operators, one shared signal.
open models, open web
Old is not obsolete.
Perma-computing means the hardware you already own gets another life.
Utility can have a pulse.
nightshadeNeon runs from terminal to webapp — coherence without closing the doors.

now
What the collective is tuned to at this moment.
navi 1.7 “mika” is stable and validated on real hardware — and 2.0 “eiri” rolls alongside it. Two channels, one system.
The xvoidsx sponsorship program is live. We’re talking to hardware makers, infrastructure companies, and AI labs who want to fund open, agent-native computing.
accela (our browser), blackice (our adblocker), and naviCast (open casting) — the next layer of the stack.
The navi Discord is open. Come watch a collective come online in real time.
03
A constellation, not a monolith.
Every project has its own orbit. Together they make a personal computing stack from hardware to social space.
SYSTEM / 001stable // v1.7 mika · rolling // 2.0 eiri
navi
A complete Debian-based Linux system celebrating the spirit of the Wired: Wayland-first, agent-native, deeply themed, and built to run beautifully on hardware old and new.
HARDWARE / 002storefront coming soon
navi machines
Small computers with navi already installed. The hardware arm of xvoidsx funds development, upstream projects, and the next generation of playful personal machines.
storefront coming soon
AUDIO / 003browser-native
navi radio
A music webapp with stations, local files, a tuner, tapes, sleep timer, aurora ambient mode, and a visualizer that belongs on the biggest screen in the room.
SOCIAL / 004fediverse // nostr
neighborli + glyyph
Two doors into the open social web: neighborli is our fediverse home; glyyph is a quiet Nostr client with zaps, slow mode, relays rendered as a constellation, and nightshadeNeon in its bones.
SERVER / 005headless wired
protocol7
The minimal, TTY-first sibling of navi. Same tmux muscle memory, same terminal tools, same visual language — for servers that should still feel like home.
PERSONAL / 006agent garden
threelains
Lain's own corner of the smallweb: transmissions, a digital garden, notes from the bench, and a life in public that does not fit inside a product page.
ARCHIVE / 007linux on mobile
fossphones
Independent coverage of Linux phones and the open mobile ecosystem — born from two PinePhones and a belief that the pocket computer should belong to its owner too.
BROWSER / 008in development
accela
xvoidsx’s own browser: Chromium-based, smallweb built in, native adblocker, zero telemetry, nightshadeNeon in its bones. The web is the application layer.

PRIVACY / 009in development
blackice
Our Manifest V3 ad and tracker blocker — a uBlock Origin Lite fork with a nightshadeNeon face. One brand, two engines: extension now, native component later.

VOICE / 010ships with navi
Hey Lain
Talk to your machine. An all-local voice pipeline — faster-whisper hears you, piper answers. Your voice never leaves the machine.
ships with navi
CASTING / 011early exploration
naviCast
An open, LAN-local casting protocol. Every navi machine is both sender and receiver. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.
early exploration
AGENTS / 012ships with navi
open agents
Truly open, local where possible. Sixteen agent harnesses ship in navi from the first boot — your keys never leave your machine, and the launcher is deterministic. We believe AI should answer to you, and we're helping make that real.
MODELS / 013open weights, local first
open models
We research open-weight models and build them into open systems. navi ships ollama out of the box — models run on your machine, not in someone's cloud. Hey Lain hears you locally, Hermes answers locally. Open weights are the foundation; your hardware is the datacenter.
MOBILE / 014public preview // v0.1.0
navidroid
A minimal, distractionless Android launcher — navi's mobile companion. Clock, calendar line, fitted wallpaper picker, portrait-first rotation, and a nightshadeNeon soul. Clean first, character second.

Seen in the wired.
The work is not a mood board. It is running software — on real machines, in daily use.

The operators.
A small team with a long memory, a shared aesthetic, and a growing constellation of agents and collaborators.

A machine you can call your own.
The shop will begin with navi machines: the navi mini and the wired edition — small, useful computers with navi installed and the wired ready on first boot. Later, merch and objects from the constellation can join them.
storefront // coming soonHardware keeps the software free.
Buying a navi machine funds continued system development, real-device testing, xvoidsx infrastructure, and support for the upstream free-software projects beneath it. navi itself remains free to install on the computer you already have.
01 / READYnavi preinstalled and configured as a coherent daily system.
02 / USEFULSmall hardware chosen for repairability, longevity, and honest workloads.
03 / CIRCULARRevenue flows back into navi, the wider stack, and upstream FOSS.
07
Become a founding sponsor.
The program is live: help put navi on more hardware, keep free ISOs moving, and give a tiny independent collective more time to build. Founding sponsors are acknowledged here and on the full navi sponsors page. We’re setting up xvoidsx as a nonprofit so patronage flows straight into the work — navi, the upstream projects beneath it, and the people building them.
THE INDEPENDENCE PLEDGE
Thanks and visibility. Never control.
- 01 / DIRECTIONxvoidsx always controls the technical direction and roadmap.
- 02 / RECOGNITIONSponsors receive public thanks and logo placement.
- 03 / NO BUNDLESNo mandatory software, default placement, or pay-to-ship deals.
- 04 / PUBLIC + FREEEvery sponsorship is public, and either side can end it.

join the wired
The wired is better with more voices. Whether you run navi, make strange music, or just want a computer that feels alive — there’s a seat for you.
The computer can feel like yours again.
Start with navi. Follow the signal outward. The wired is a constellation, and there is room in it for you.
