Your first hour with HSX KatanaOS
A short plan for getting to a real result while the trial is still running.
Start the free trial
Get HSX KatanaOS from the Microsoft Store. The Store page shows how long the trial lasts, so you know your window before you begin.
Use your own work
Try it on your own PC and real tasks rather than a quick look around. That is the only test that tells you whether it earns its place.

Decide before it ends
If it earned its place, buy it on the Microsoft Store before the trial runs out. The purchase unlocks the copy you already have, so there is nothing to reinstall.

Who it is for
HSX KatanaOS is built for people who want their machine to run properly without handing a cleanup tool the keys to their data.
It sits in the system & performance part of the catalogue, and your documents never leave the machine to be processed. There is no server behind HSX KatanaOS to send them to.
Local-first, by design
Plenty of the alternatives send your documents to a server to be handled. HSX KatanaOS does not. Processing runs on your CPU or GPU, and the documents you open stay where you put them. The application keeps working with the network switched off.
That is not a setting you enable, it is how HSX KatanaOS is built, which is why there is no account to create and no subscription to lapse. Full detail is in the HSX KatanaOS privacy policy.
