The open source smart glasses operating system.
Access the best apps on your smart glasses. Build smart glasses apps.

What is AugmentOS?
AugmentOS lets you run apps on smart glasses. It’s an app that runs on your Android or iPhone (iOS support coming March 2025) and connects to your smart glasses. It has an app store with a ton of useful apps and features. If you already have smart glasses, you can just install it and get going right away. If you don’t, you can buy a pair from Even Realities, Vuzix, or Mentra (more glasses coming soon) and get started today.

Who makes AugmentOS?

Developers and industry,
Meet AugmentOS-SDK
Why build for smart glasses using AugmentOS instead of another mobile operating system? Because the AugmentOS SDK is the best way to write a smart glasses app:
- Your app immediately runs on any pair of smart glasses.
- Simple + fast dev - focus on building a great experience.
- Continuously access smart glasses I/O.
- Run always - run your app for days straight, guaranteed.
- Get seen - get your app in front of everyone using smart glasses.
Develop for AugmentOS-SDK
AugmentOS is the fully open source OS for wearables.
The AugmentOS-SDK allows any existing app to run as an AugmentOS app, on the edge or in the cloud. AugmentOS 1.0 supports edge apps – Android Java/Kotlin/React Native apps that run on the edge. AugmentOS will soon support cloud apps as well – you can write a cloud app that AugmentOS will stream data to, and accept data from to show on the glasses.
For docs and setup, checkout the AugmentOS-SDK docs here: docs.augmentos.org
