What is PCNav?

Technology should be easier to understand.

PCNav develops practical tools focused on visibility, clarity, and confidence rather than complexity.

PCNav builds practical tools that help you see and understand what your computer is doing. Windows already holds the information that matters — it's just spread across many separate screens and settings. PCNav brings that information together and presents it plainly, so you can make decisions with a clearer picture of what's happening.

Applications

Two separate applications.

OS Map and Workspace Navigator are independent Windows applications, each with its own information page, release page and feedback channel.

Application · 0.1.0 in trusted testing

OS Map

Core philosophy

Four principles, in order.

A simple sequence shapes everything PCNav builds.

01

Visibility First

See what is happening on your system before anything else.

02

Understanding Second

Make information clear so you know what it means.

03

Action Third

Take action only after seeing and understanding.

04

Automation Last

Automate only what is well understood and intentional.

Trust & privacy

Quiet by design.

How OS Map behaves on your computer.

  • No telemetry
  • No analytics
  • No background update checks
  • Local logs only

Any future changes to these behaviours will be clearly disclosed.

How Workspace Navigator handles your information is described on its beta release page.

Ecosystem

Part of a growing ecosystem.

OS Map and Workspace Navigator are the first two applications in the PCNav ecosystem. Each is developed and released separately.

More tools are planned over time, each focused on making a specific part of technology easier to understand.
