Personalizing your DeviceFreedom

Make your DeviceFreedom feel like yours. You can change your name, password, wallpaper, language, and add widgets to your home screen.

Change your name

Go to Settings > Account > Change name.

Change your password

Go to Settings > Account > Change password. You'll need to enter your current password first. Your new password must be at least 6 characters.

If you use SSH, note that your SSH password is the same as your devicefreedom-os password and will change along with it.

If you lose your password, there is no way to recover it — your account is stored entirely on your device. We recommend saving your password in a password manager.

Change your wallpaper

Right-click anywhere on your home screen and select Change wallpaper, or go to Settings > Wallpaper. You can choose from a curated collection of wallpapers and themes. Uploading custom wallpapers is not currently supported.

Change your language

1. Go to Settings > Language.
2. Select your preferred language.

devicefreedom-os is available in multiple languages. If you don't see yours, let us know — reach out on X or open an issue on GitHub.

Change temperature units

devicefreedom-os displays temperatures in various places like Settings. You can toggle between °C and °F on the temperature card in Settings.

Widgets

Widgets give you quick-glance info right on your home screen — things like live system usage, recent files, or stats from your apps.

To add or change widgets, right-click anywhere on your home screen and select Edit widgets, or click the widgets icon in the dock. You can have up to 3 widgets at a time.

Some apps come with their own widgets. Once you install an app that supports widgets, its widgets will automatically appear as options in the widget selector.
