Real-time planetary visualization, astrometry plate-solving, satellite orbit tracking, and full amateur radio communications — all running 100% offline on your sovereign hardware. No cloud. No subscriptions. No permission required.
Photorealistic 3D rendering of the Earth, Moon, Mars, and the entire solar system — live cloud maps, real-time day/night terminator lines, and satellite orbital overlays painted directly onto your desktop.
Using XPlanet and KStars natively, AlfredOS calculates exact orbital mechanics rather than playing pre-rendered video. Every pixel reflects true mathematical reality.
Renders photorealistic 3D globes of Earth with exact real-time day/night shadow terminator lines, live cloud cover overlays, and accurate continental lighting.
xplanet 1.3.1A full desktop planetarium rendering 100 million+ stars, all 88 constellations, deep-sky objects, planets, comets, and asteroids in real-time.
kstars + INDI driversTake a photograph of the night sky with any camera. Feed it into the sovereign astrometry engine. It identifies every star and celestial coordinate.
python3-astrometry 0.97From the International Space Station to Starlink constellations to classified military satellites — plot their real-time orbital trajectories directly on your XPlanet globe and KStars star map.
Hook into GPSD to acquire hardware atomic time and exact terrestrial positioning, while Keplerian TLE propagators calculate orbital intersection windows entirely offline.
Interprets data from any connected GPS receiver (USB, serial, Bluetooth) and provides precise position and atomic-accurate time to the entire OS.
gpsdDownload Two-Line Element sets once, then track satellite positions indefinitely offline using Keplerian orbital propagation.
xplanet + kstarsNative support for the FITS format — the universal standard for astronomical images. Read telescope CCD captures and spectral data.
libcfitsio-binA full amateur radio digital communications suite — from weak-signal moonbounce contacts to emergency packet radio mesh networks. When the internet goes dark, your sovereign OS keeps talking.
Plug your HF or VHF/UHF radio directly into Alfred Linux. The built-in HAMLIB rig control and pulse audio suites handle PTT (Push-to-Talk) and ALC negotiation instantly.
FT8, FT4, JT65, WSPR — contact stations across the planet using signals so weak they are invisible to the human ear. Moonbounce capable.
wsjtxReal-time keyboard-to-keyboard messaging over HF radio. Store-and-forward messaging. Automatic relay through intermediate stations.
js8callTransforms any soundcard into a high-performance AX.25 packet radio Terminal Node Controller. APRS digipeating and beacons.
direwolfThe Swiss Army knife of amateur radio digital modes. PSK31, RTTY, MFSK, Olivia, and 80+ more modulation schemes.
fldigiStandardized API for controlling 200+ radio transceivers, rotators, and tuners from any manufacturer. Change frequency programmatically.
libhamlib-utilsPre-loaded reference data including band plans, frequency allocations, Q-codes, RST signal reports, and phonetic alphabets.
hamradio-filesWhen Hurricane Season wipes out cellular towers, internet backbones, and the local power grid, David's AlfredOS laptop powered by solar becomes the county's only lifeline to the outside world.
Deep in a designated Dark Sky Park with zero Wi-Fi, Sarah is running a complex multi-telescope astrophotography rig to capture a rare transit event.
Working on a private aerospace telemetry project, Marcus needs to track the intersection of a new low-earth orbit (LEO) payload against the existing Starlink constellation.
