So without their cloud service no apps.

Wouldn‘t call that an OS.

MentraOS is a cloud OS (there doesn't exist a good way to build this on the edge, we've tried). Users don't need our cloud service, however, as it can be self-hosted:

If there's no good way to run applications on your smart glasses, they don't seem to be too smart...
