As eyeOS has come with some basic application like text editor (eyeEdit), calendar management (eyeCalendar), contact list (eyePhones), a file manager (eyeHome) and some widgets such as RSS Reader, a calculator (eyeCalc) and a clock (eyeClock). if you want more application, you can visit EyeApplcations with more eyeOS application can be downloaded if you have an eyeOS Miniserver or Microserver. Beside that, eyeOS also integrated with Games along.

Now you can try or register an account at eyeOS public server whereby there are more than 50000 user which commonly use this public server like below task:-

• Share files
• Office tasks - e.g. creating private word documents, using the calendar and agenda. They do this so they can access the files from different computers. One user mentioned that he creates docs at home and then prints them out in the office, using eyeEdit.
