Getting started with StelarOS
StelarOS is a computer that runs in your browser. It has two main apps:
- AI Chat lets you ask an AI anything. Each message uses a few credits.
- Earn lets your computer earn more credits while it's on.
Credits
You get 20 free credits every day, enough for about 10 messages. They refill at midnight UTC. Credits you earn never expire. Credits can't be turned into money.
Earning
When Earn is on, your computer mines Monero, a cryptocurrency, and StelarOS turns that into credits. A browser can't mine much: it takes about 38 hours of earning on a typical laptop to pay for one message. Think of it as a small bonus on top of your free credits.
Earn only runs when you switch it on, and stops when you close it.

- Right-click the desktop for more options.
- Click StelarOS in the bottom-left corner for all apps, to lock the screen or to sign out.
