The number of unique devices using the YaOS platform exceeds 5 million per month.

Yandex has announced the expansion of the YaOS operating system capabilities, providing developers with access to the application catalog for devices with screens. Now, developers can publish their applications not only for Yandex TVs, modules, and TV-connected speakers, but also for "Station Duo Max".

Opening the application catalog to all developers will allow them to create applications for users of Yandex devices, including devices with a touch interface.
