studio.circleos.co.za
CircleOS Studio is the first-party app studio for CircleOS. Apps built here are published to SleptOn and serve a second purpose: they are living proof that CircleOS is a real, buildable platform.
| App type | Build target |
|---|---|
| Built-in (ships with the OS) | Native AOSP/Java + MAUI cross-platform |
| App store only | MAUI cross-platform |
Built-in apps always have two versions:
- A native Java version in the CircleOS repo (
vendor/circle/apps/<AppName>/) — platform-signed, hardware-integrated, baked into the ROM. - A MAUI cross-platform version here — Android, iOS, macOS, Windows — published to SleptOn like any other app.
The MAUI version is not a downgrade. It is proof that the same product can be built by any developer without needing OS-level access.
| App | Type | SleptOn listing |
|---|---|---|
| HomeCinema | Built-in + MAUI | Media player |
