🧠 What Is Desktop4Kids OS?

Desktop4Kids OS is a browser-based desktop simulation built with Electron that runs entirely offline.

It provides children with:

• A real desktop experience (windows, apps, files)
• A sandboxed, child-safe environment
• No ads, no tracking, and no internet dependency
• A fully local AI learning assistant (Mentor AI)

The goal is to teach computer literacy, creativity, and problem-solving in a secure and privacy-first way.
