Litl OS is the cloud-based operating environment of the Easel webbook. Litl OS's user interface utilizes graphic elements called cards to organize browsing sessions and content instead of the tabs and menus found on conventional desktops. The interfaces to some web content are also customized by litl or third parties to integrate with Litl OS and are referred to as litl channels. Litl OS's optional handling of an RSS feed is also referred to as a litl channel.

The underlying operating system is a mobile/embedded distribution of Ubuntu provided by Canonical. The user interface is written largely in Mozilla's dialect of Javascript using the gjs binding to access GNOME and Clutter UI elements. Software updates are automatically delivered nightly over the Internet connection and the OS stores browser cards, web channels, settings and contacts online at Amazon S3 using a web service running on Google's App Engine and the Django framework. Litl OS can synchronize information from the Internet to the webbook and between webbooks. Portions of the operating system's source code can be obtained by Litl owners on DVD from Litl.
