AI runs here. Not out there

Osaurus is a free, open-source, native Swift app that runs local AI entirely on Apple Silicon Macs, keeping data on-device and working offline. It connects one-click to Ollama, MLX, or LM Studio, optionally adds ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for cloud tasks, and supports building autonomous agents that can read files, run tools, and execute parallel jobs.

Drop in files, assign tasks, build agents. Add ChatGPT or Claude when you need them.

What is local AI?

Your AI runs here. Not out there.

Most AI tools send everything you type to a server. Local AI keeps the model on your machine — so your conversations, code, and files stay completely private.

As seen on

Private

Nothing leaves your Mac. No telemetry, no training on your data, no servers in the loop.

Offline

Wi-Fi off. Still works. Models run on your Apple Silicon chip — no internet required.

Fast

Inference runs on your M-series chip. No round trips to a server — results in milliseconds.

Free

MIT licensed. No subscription, no usage caps, no billing. Yours to use and modify forever.

Model support

Local first. Cloud when you need it.

Start private and offline. Reach for the cloud only when a task demands it.

Local — runs on your Mac

Cloud — when you need it

Reads your files. Runs your tools. Remembers your work.

Drop a folder. Give it a job. Osaurus can read, write, and execute — like having a local AI assistant that actually knows your environment.

Agents. Not just chat.

Build agents that run autonomously — voice control, folder watchers, browser plugins, parallel jobs. Let your local AI work while you sleep.

Off the grid. By design.

Wi-Fi off. Still works. Your data stays on your Mac. Nothing leaves unless you say so — not even anonymous analytics.

Open source

Open. Forever free.

MIT licensed. Built in public. Read it. Fork it. Ship with it.
