Nothing develops a range of first-party software, applications and developer tools, designed to support its ecosystem of [[:hardware#nothing_phones|smartphones]] and [[:hardware#nothing_audio|audio devices]]. The company's software strategy and design focuses on minimalism and seamless integration between its devices. Their software portfolio includes the Android-based [[software:nothing_os|Nothing OS]], [[software:glyph_interface|Glyph Interface]] tools and projects under the [[:essential|Essential]] branding.

====== Nothing OS ======
[[software:nothing_os|Nothing OS]] is Nothing's Android-based operating system, designed for [[:nothing|Nothing]] and [[cmf|CMF by Nothing]] devices. It was first introduced alongside [[hardware:phone_1|Phone (1)]] in 2022 and has undergone significant updates and improvements in the years since. It combines a near-stock Android experience with custom visual elements and widgets inspired by minimalism, dot-matrix displays and monochrome design when paired with the [[software:nothing_icon_pack|Nothing Icon Pack]].

===== Major OS versions =====
  * [[software:nothing_os#nothing_os_10|Nothing OS 1.0]], launched with [[hardware:phone_1|Phone (1)]] in 2022.
  * [[software:nothing_os#nothing_os_20|Nothing OS 2.0]] introduced in 2023 redesigned iconography, widgets and enhanced Glyph functions.
  * [[software:nothing_os#nothing_os_30|Nothing OS 3.0]] released in 2024 with deeper integrations and widgets, animations and design refinements.

===== Glyph Interface =====
[[software:nothing_os|Nothing OS]] natively supports Nothing's [[software:glyph_interface|Glyph Interface]] system both in its original form and the newer [[software:glyph_interface#glyph_matrix|Glyph Matrix]] and [[software:glyph_interface#glyph_bar|Glyph Bar]] versions, allowing users to customise ringtones and notification sounds, as well as setting Essential Notifications.((https://nothing.wiki/software/glyph_interface))

Nothing also provides a first-party [[software:glyph_developer_kit|Glyph Software Developer Kit]] (Glyph SDK, also known as GDK) which allows third party developers to integrate their apps with the [[software:glyph_interface|Glyph Interface]].((https://nothing.wiki/software/glyph_developer_kit)) This paved the way for apps such as Glyph Museum, which enables users to draw and share art and animations directly on the [[software:glyph_interface#glyph_matrix|Glyph Matrix]].((https://nothing.community/en/d/46572))
