Osaurus is a native Swift macOS application that acts as a local-first AI harness, running open models on Apple Silicon (via MLX and Apple Foundation Models) with support for cloud providers like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. It provides autonomous agents with persistent memory, tool execution, cryptographic identity, and OpenAI-, Anthropic-, and Ollama-compatible local API servers plus MCP integration, all fully offline-capable and MIT licensed.
Use cases
- run local LLMs on my Mac with full privacy
- build autonomous AI agents that work offline
- serve an OpenAI-compatible API from local models
- connect AI agents to tools via MCP
- keep a shared memory across ChatGPT, Claude, and local models
- run AI inference on Apple Neural Engine
- self-host a private AI assistant with no telemetry
When to choose
- you want a fully offline, private AI assistant on Apple Silicon
- you need a native macOS app (no Electron) with local model inference
- you want agents with persistent memory and autonomous execution under your control
- you need a local OpenAI/Anthropic/Ollama-compatible server or MCP endpoint
When to avoid
- you need Linux or Windows support - it is macOS Apple Silicon only
- you need maximum model breadth - tools like Ollama or LM Studio support more architectures
- you want a headless server-only inference stack rather than a desktop app
