What is Sxmo?

A minimalist Linux smartphone environment that is truly yours to control. Sxmo, or Simple X Mobile, is a collection of simple and suckless X programs and scripts used together to create a fully functional mobile UI adhering to the Unix philosophy for the PinePhone and other Linux smartphones.

Simple menu-driven interface

  • Uses suckless tools (dwm, dmenu, st, etc) or Wayland tools (sway, bemenu, foot, etc.)
  • Augmented touch and gesture support
  • Menu-driven interface that can also be controlled with hardware buttons
  • Community sourced context menu that changes according to the active application (CLI or GUI)

SSH as a first class citizen

  • Send texts via ssh using your favorite text editor (vis, emacs, vim, etc.)
  • Read notifications, texts, etc.
  • Access bluetooth, wifi menus

Everything is Scriptable

  • Launch user defined scripts at phone calls, texts, etc.
  • Bind certain scripts to gestures using lisgd
  • Bind device's physical buttons (single/double/triple click) to trigger scripts
  • Plain text modem logs, contact list, and sms texts

Use the same FOSS apps you use on the desktop

  • No locked-down app ecosystem
  • Runs on traditional Linux distributions like Alpine Linux and postmarketOS optimized for mobile devices
  • Use terminal-based applications on a smartphone
