Sailfish OS is an operating system for mobile phones developed by Jolla. It is Linux-based with AppSupport, a proprietary compatibility layer for Android and custom user interface by Jolla.

The OS first shipped with the original Jolla Phone in 2013; while its sale stopped in 2016, it was supplied with software updates until the end of 2020. It also shipped with Jolla Tablet in 2015 and from other vendors licensing the OS. The OS is ported by community enthusiasts to third-party mobile devices including smartphones and tablet computers. Sailfish OS is mostly used for mobile phones and tablets.
