Overview
Osaurus is a free Mac app for AI agents that live on your computer. You chat with a built-in assistant or create your own agents, each with its own memory, and they can work in a folder you choose, browse the web, run code in a sandbox and use Calendar, Reminders, Notes or Mail after you approve. It runs local models offline and can also use cloud models such as OpenAI or Anthropic. It suits Mac users who want a personal assistant that keeps its data on their machine.
Memory, agents and tools stay on your Mac and work offline with local models, and you can swap models without losing any of them.

Good to know
Run a personal assistant on your Mac with a local model, then give a custom agent a working folder or an Apple app to act on. Each send, delete or typed browser action waits for your approval.
Limits
- Anonymous usage analytics and crash reports are both on by default, each with its own switch in Settings, Privacy. The telemetry page says analytics never include chats, files or keys.
- The isolated Linux sandbox for running code needs macOS 26. On earlier versions it falls back to a macOS sandbox with all-or-nothing network access.
