VISIONGAIA TECHNOLOGY

SOVEREIGN TECHNOLOGY. BUILT FROM THE BOOTLOADER UP.

An independent European technology lab building the operating system,
security fabric and productivity layer for a post-cloud world.

VisionGaiaTechnology is an independent, bootstrapped technology lab founded by Rene Körner. He is 28, based in Cologne, Germany, and currently builds the stack as its sole developer.

The conviction: the most important software layers should not be rented from someone else. The vision is larger than a single product — digital sovereignty that works worldwide, built from Europe and designed to be used anywhere.

We build local-first systems with verified behavior, transparent architecture and no unnecessary cloud dependency — from kernel-near network defense to the documents and notes people use every day.

No big team. No big budget. No theatrical roadmap. Just working code, public repositories and the next layer of the stack.

Build the Apple of Europe.

A complete, sovereign technology stack — from silicon to software, from bootloader to workspace.

Five years. One integrated system.

• AstraeaOS — our own operating system.
• GeDefense — the security fabric beneath it.
• Astraea Workspace — productivity software for the post-cloud era.
• GaiaCom — federated, post-quantum secure communication for the same stack.
• VGT hardware — carefully verified components, direct system-integrity checks and our own bootloaders.

Some say this dream is too big. We say: many of the building blocks already exist. What is still missing is capital — and the people who believe that sovereign systems and verified hardware infrastructure are worth building.

If you build, invest, research or operate in this space: we should talk.

	AstraeaOS  PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT A next-generation operating system with verified boot, direct system integrity and a coherent native experience — designed as the foundation of the stack. Private repository · no public source yet
	AstraeaOS ™ WordPress Edition  ALPHA WordPress without the plugin stack: a security-first distribution with first-party cryptography, recovery, privacy, mail, performance and infrastructure built directly into the platform.
	GeDefense  PUBLIC BETA Kernel-near network defense, host XDR and encrypted evidence. One security fabric across Linux, WordPress, Android and Windows.
	Astraea Workspace  ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT A local-first productivity suite for focused work: documents, notes, tasks, research and a coherent workspace that does not depend on a rented cloud.
	GaiaCom  TECHNICAL BETA Federated communication with native end-to-end encryption and hybrid post-quantum cryptography — conversations, group chats and file drops with zero server trust.
	VGT Aethel  ACTIVE BETA A sovereign strategic intelligence OS: local-first AI, an agentic VGT Coder IDE and a personal operations desktop, built to keep intelligence on the machine.

• Local-first by default. No cloud control plane. No rented trust.
• Evidence over claims. Tests, manifests and audit trails are part of the product.
• Reversible hardening. Security should be observable, adjustable and recoverable.
• Own the whole stack. Operating system, security, productivity and eventually hardware.
