Sailfish OS is a European alternative to dominating mobile operating systems, and the only mobile OS offering an exclusive licensing model for local implementations.
On the market since 2013, and now already in its 4th generation, Sailfish OS offers a secure platform for trusted mobile solutions. With Sailfish OS you can also run Android™ apps with our dedicated App Support solution.
Sailfish OS is managed and developed by Finnish company Jolla Ltd.
Android apps
Sailfish OS is compatible with the Android™ ecosystem, so it can run Android apps and support Android device hardware. However, it is fully independent and is not a derivative or fork of the Android codebase.
Sailfish licensees choose whether to use the Android compatibility part of the OS or to go with a fully native solution.
App support for other Linux-based systems is also provided through the AppSupport for Linux Platforms product.
