Device operating systems
Whether you're building for Fire tablets, Fire TV, or the next generation of devices, our operating systems allow you to reach more customers. Choose your path—or expand to both—using the skills you already have.
Fire OS
Fire OS is the operating system that runs on selected Amazon's Fire TV and tablets. Fire OS is a fork of Android, so if your app runs on Android, it will most likely run on Amazon's Fire devices too. As a developer, you might not have to adjust your Android code at all to publish your app.
Vega OS
Starting with the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, Vega OS is the new operating system powering the next generation of Fire TV streaming media players. Built on the React Native application framework, Vega OS enables you to create future-ready apps with familiar tools, cross-device code reusability, and enhanced performance.
