Core Products
kikkeliOS
kikkeliOS is not a standalone operating system, but a customized desktop experience package designed for Windows 11. It modifies elements like the desktop background, taskbar and some other details. Distributed in versioned ZIP files, it includes automated scripts and themed assets to transform the Windows environment into a unique, stylized interface mimicking older systems, like Windows XP.
- Latest version: 2.0 – includes new wallpaper and easier, fully automated install process.
- Installation is done through the run_installer.bat file.
- Packaged as downloadable ZIP archives.
kikkeli Browser
kikkeli Browser is by far our most advanced, functional and best looking product. It is a fully functional internet browser, which in every case of our testing, has resulted in using 2 times less RAM compared to Google Chrome under equal circumstances. It is capable of doing everything that any other browser you'd expect to be able to do.
- Latest version: 9.5 – includes support for custom backgrounds and improved performance for heavier websites.
- Installation is done through the .exe file.
- Packaged as downloadable ZIP archives.
