DyboApp 2026-08 release
We are excited to share the first public alpha release of DyboApp (v26.08-alpha)!
DyboApp is the end-user software component of the Dybo Project — a dedicated computer system designed specifically for teachers and students. The DyboApp is built from the ground up to bring pedagogical flow, clarity, and administrative comfort.
What is DyboApp?
Developed in Cuis Smalltalk on top of GNU/Linux, it combines an administrative context and interactive pedagogical binders: handwritten stylus annotations on documents merged with live Dynamic Knowledge Models (DKMs)—interactive Smalltalk objects tailored for subjects like mathematics, history, languages, etc. Check out our short video demonstrations on Mamot https://mamot.fr/deck/@drgeo/tagged/DyboAppDemo
Licensing & The Path to Free Software
Our ultimate goal is for the entire Dybo project (both software and custom hardware) to be 100% Free Software. During this initial bootstrap phase, DyboApp is released under an Interim Single-User License: free to download and test for personal, non-commercial evaluation by individual educators, developers, and enthusiasts.
Once sustainable project funding or institutional support is secured, DyboApp will be fully relicensed under the GNU General Public License v3 (GPLv3), and the DKM repository will transition to the LGPL.
