OS/RX IronSlug
Typewriter is a minimalist text editor with an UI similar to classic MS Office. Its code is a fork of the now defunct "Mindcell Office" Java application. It currently supports writing HTML, RTF and TXT and support for ODT and DOC/DOCX is in the works.
The name "IronSlug" is a combination of "Slug", the part from a typewriter that physically presses the letter into paper, and "Iron", which symbolizes the significant code improvements and technological leaps over the original software, Mindcell Office.
OS/RX ThirdEye
ThirdEye is an ease-of-use and accessibility software designed to act as a magnifying glass that goes from 1.5x all the way up to 12x. Unlike most magnifying glass applications, ThirdEye runs in a separate window to separate any mouse actions from the magnified view.
ThirdEye will also be receiving new features as time goes on, ranging from minor optimization and bugfix updates to major more feature-oriented updates.
Development Status: Public Late Beta (v0.4)
Development Status: Released on GitHub (v1.0.1)

Development Status: Mid Beta
Development Status: Early Beta

OS/RX µ-Ray
OS/RX µ-Ray is a powerful metadata viewer, editor and purger designed to work with both one file at a time and mass-file operations. It also allows you, the user, to add new metadata values previously not present in the given file(s).
µ-Ray, while based on a closed-source internal software used by Mindcell Softworks until 2024, is a complete re-write from scratch so it can be 100% open source and cross-platform.
OS/RX Graphene
Graphene is a plotting software capable of drawing multiple overlapping functions in two dimensions. University-level functions for vector fields and plotting in three and four dimensions are currently in development and likely to be added in a later version of Graphene.
Graphene will also have a module system that will allow the use and development of more specialized and complex graphing technology. That, along with Vector fields and 3D/4D plotting will be added in a later version.
Development Status: Late Alpha
Development Status: Early Beta
OS/RX PocketServer
OS/RX PocketServer is a lightweight Java-based webpage server with a GUI control panel, a rollout manager and a basic integrated firewall for blacklisting and whitelisting.
Currently there are no plans to integrate any complex server-side code execution through webpages, however a very basic PHP interpreter will be added in later versions.
OS/RX Positron
OS/RX Positron is a blackboard software designed for use with various touchscreen devices such as IWBs and tablets.
Despite it being based on a closed source project (PositronWS) all releases published under the development of OS/RX are 100% open source.
Development Status: Mid Beta
Development Status: Public Late Beta (v0.2)
MinMax JE
MinMax Java Edition (also known as Open Adventure Maker) is a WYSIWYG drag n drop + pseudocode software development tool designed to be an open source re-imagination of the popular abandonware Adventure Maker. MinMax 1, 2 and 3 were all heavily modified versions of the original Adventure Maker 4.7.x package, but limitations with the DirectX to OpenGL translation layers and failed Ray-Tracing and CUDA implementations made any more steps in the modern world almost impossible, not to mention it was limited to Windows.
In its current state (and probably for the first few releases) it won't support loading from existing AM1 files, however a AM1 to MMJE converter is also in the works.
