Beta Users can explore working previews while they are being certified. Released software stays clearly marked, and previews do not pretend to be finished.
LMOS is live.
Help us make it better.
Use LMOS now on your computer, tablet, or phone. Open the creative apps with real work, tell Dr. Layne McDonald where the friction is, and help strengthen what becomes release-ready.
No application theater. No automatic paid conversion. Build something real, tell us where the friction is, and help shape what ships.Use the human LM chat from any beta page. Useful bugs, accepted improvements, reproducible issues and sustained testing matter more than raw message volume.
Beta Users test the software. Founders are optional $10/month supporters who receive Founder identity, eligible early-access previews, and permanent special-thanks recognition in qualifying LM apps.
WHY THIS EXISTS
Every app should solve a problem—not create another one.
LMOS is being built around a simple idea: the project is bigger than the app. Your script, film, podcast, book, website, event or ministry project should not have to start over every time you change tools. Beta Users help us find the places where the software still gets in the way of the work.
WHAT YOU CAN TEST
One account. A growing creative operating system.
Open an app because it solves the problem in front of you. You do not have to learn everything.YOUR FILES · YOUR CHOICE
LMOS should not make you pay to duplicate files you already own.
Large video, audio and photo originals should stay on your device, external drive or connected Google Drive whenever practical. LMOS stores the project intelligence: lightweight manifests, links, edit decisions, notes, collaboration and the files you intentionally ask LMOS to host.Best for large source media and work that does not need an LM-hosted copy.
Google Drive and other user-controlled storage can hold heavy originals while LMOS remembers where the work belongs.
Beta Users begin with 100 MB for intentional hosted copies. Your account shows the allowance, bytes used and a hard-drive-style meter. No mystery storage bill.
BETA USER OR FOUNDER
