TogetherOS

TogetherOS is a cooperation operating system โ€” a complete social and technological stack for communities to govern themselves, share resources, and deliver results.

Why "Operating System"?

Just as your phone's OS (iOS, Android) provides the foundation for apps to run, TogetherOS provides the foundation for cooperation to happen:

  • Governance layer โ€” How decisions get made
  • Economy layer โ€” How value flows and gets shared
  • Coordination layer โ€” How work gets organized and tracked
  • Learning layer โ€” How people develop cooperative skills

Core Mechanics

Solving Differences

When people disagree, TogetherOS provides structured paths to resolution โ€” not by forcing agreement, but by documenting positions, finding common ground, and preserving minority views.

Deliberating

Before decisions, members explore options together. TogetherOS templates guide discussions through research โ†’ options โ†’ trade-offs โ†’ deliberation, keeping conversations productive.

Deciding

Decisions use consent-based processes: proposals pass when no one has fundamental objections, not when everyone agrees. This protects minority voices while enabling action.

Organizing

Every initiative breaks into tiny, verifiable steps. Coordinators (elected or hired) execute the collective will. All actions are logged. Anyone can be recalled.

Key Features

  • Support Points (SP) โ€” Governance power earned through contribution, never bought
  • Reward Points (RP) โ€” Economic claims for contributions
  • Minority Reports โ€” Dissenting views preserved alongside decisions
  • Recall Mechanism โ€” Any coordinator can be removed by the community
  • 8 Cooperation Paths โ€” Categories organizing all activities

For Humanity

TogetherOS isn't owned by CoopEverything โ€” it's designed to be adopted, forked, and improved by any community. The code is open. The patterns are documented. The goal: make cooperation inevitable, everywhere.
