No - it doesn't work that way.

You build FreeRTOS (or any other RTOS of your choice; or no RTOS at all) into your project.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Thank you!

I guess the GUI is not the RTOS then.

Indeed not - it's just the graphics framework.

It can be used with no OS, or with an OS of your choice:
