Removing crime from the digital world.
The operating system with crime prevention built in — powered by local and cloud AI, with every user verified.
Developed by AW3 Technology Venture Studio · Will Schulz, CEO & Founder
Make the device itself a place where crime cannot happen.
Our mission is to remove crime from the digital world — starting where every digital crime begins, the operating system — by preventing crime and cybercrime, from exploitation and fraud to data theft and malware, for everyone who chooses a safer digital life and everyone entrusted to someone else’s care.
Online harm hit record levels in 2025.

Harm crosses apps. App-level tools only see part of it.
- Grooming starts in a game, moves to a messenger and ends in a payment.
- Cyberbullying follows a child from one app to the next; 46% of US teens have experienced it.
- Pirated downloads deliver malware along with stolen content.
- Scams arrive by text, email and social feeds — then complete in a browser.
- AI-generated abuse videos: 13 in 2024 → 3,443 in 2025.
- The human element is involved in 62% of data breaches.

The internet was built to deliver, not to discern.
- 1988 — Internet design goals rank survivability first, accountability last.
- 1996 — Section 230 points prevention at “blocking and filtering technologies that empower parents.”
- 2004 — The Supreme Court prefers filters “at the receiving end.”
- 2022 — Apple abandons on-device CSAM scanning.
- The device-level layer the law assumed would exist was never built as a default.
Crime prevention, built into the operating system.
- Stops exploitation, scams, drugs, weapons, piracy, cyberbullying, malware and disinformation.
- Kernel policy engine — rules below every app, browser and file.
- Local + cloud AI — real-time detection on the device, threat intelligence from the cloud.
- Tamper resistance — verified boot, signed updates, malware containment.
- Private insights — plain-language summaries.
- Verified identity — every user, once.
Two AIs. Two editions.
| PurityOS (installed) | PurityOS Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs | On laptops, desktops and tablets | In the cloud, streamed to any screen |
| AI | Local AI on content · cloud AI on threat signals | Hosted local and cloud AI |
| Privacy | Personal content stays on the device | Encrypted, isolated per user |
| Best for | Individuals and families | Schools, employers, shared devices |
No anonymous accounts. No stored IDs.
- Sign in with 1Profile (OAuth 2.0 / OIDC) — AW3’s own identity service.
- Verify once with 1Profile Verify or a digital wallet credential.
- Keep only a signed attestation: verified human, age band, role.
- Children are attached to a verified guardian.
- Stops adults posing as children; enables accountability and age-appropriate defaults.
The law is moving to the operating system.

Well funded — but bypassable app layers.
| Tamper-resistant | Cross-device | Beyond nudity | Verified identity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple / Google / Microsoft | Partial | Own ecosystem | Limited | — |
| Bark, Qustodio, Canopy | App layer | Yes | Yes | — |
| Covenant Eyes | App / VPN layer | Yes | Limited | — |
| GoGuardian, Securly | School-managed | School fleets | Yes | — |
| PurityOS | OS level | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Subscriptions plus per-seat contracts.
| Plan | Price | Benchmark |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | $6/mo | Covenant Eyes $18/mo |
| Family | $12/mo | Bark $14/mo · Canopy $8–12.50/mo |
| Organizations | Custom per seat | K-12 bundles $10–20 per student/yr |
Distribution beats filtering technology.
- Schools → homes: school seats convert to Family subscriptions.
- Faith and recovery communities: opt-in, congregation-wide partnerships.
- OEM and kid-phone partners license PurityOS.
- Employers: fraud, phishing and data-loss prevention on managed fleets.
- Compliance built in: AB 1043-ready and CIPA-compliant.

Designed against the failures that came before.
- Scanning backlash → detect and block locally; no reporting by default on installed devices.
- False positives → warn before block, appeals, published error rates.
- School surveillance → no identity keyword lists, alerts stay on device.
- Identity breaches → attestations only, never stored documents.
- OS execution → protection layer first, then AOSP on Pixels, then Linux.
From foundation to scale.
| Phase | Milestones |
|---|---|
| 1 — Shield (0–12 mo) | Protection layer on Android, Chromebooks, Windows, macOS; cloud browser; 1Profile sign-in |
| 2 — Phones (9–30 mo) | Hardened AOSP fork on Pixel 8+, curated app store, accuracy audit |
| 3 — Laptops & Cloud (24–48 mo) | Signed Linux image for laptops and the full PurityOS Cloud desktop |
| 4 — Scale | Workplace edition, OEM licensing, UK / Australia / EU, transparency reports |
