Audience
Mac users and developers seeking to run private local AI models and autonomous agents that can access files, tools, memory, and workflows
About Osaurus
Osaurus is a native AI harness for macOS that lets users run open models entirely on their Mac, connect cloud models when greater capability is needed, and carry shared memory across them. Built in Swift for Apple Silicon, it works fully offline with local models through Ollama, MLX, or LM Studio, keeping conversations, code, files, settings, agents, skills, and provider keys on the device unless the user explicitly chooses a cloud provider. A system-wide chat overlay provides quick access from any app, while separate agents can be created for coding, research, file organization, and other jobs, each with its own prompt, history, and memory. Osaurus distills past conversations into relevant facts, loads packaged skills when tasks require them, and gives agents scoped access to working folders, file search, Git, and other tools. Agents can run code in an isolated sandbox, delegate work to subagents, operate on schedules, respond to folder changes, use voice input, and generate images.

OpenCraft AI
OpenCraft AI (Ocai) is an AI agent platform for individuals, professional teams, and enterprises. Users can delegate multi-step work to agents that use code, files, web search, and sandboxed tools; agents can run subagents in parallel, retain project context across sessions, and switch models when a task stalls. The platform supports research, document and data analysis, coding, content production, retrieval, and multimodal work. It offers a browser-based service and a desktop app for workflows involving projects and local files. Agencies, founders, lawyers, content creators, and enterprise departments can use it for research, drafting, code analysis, marketing content, sales materials, and operations documentation. Self-serve pricing uses pay-as-you-go credits, with free credits to start.

Flue
Flue is an open agent framework for building durable AI agents with a programmable TypeScript harness. Created by the team behind Astro, it uses a React-like hooks API to compose agent behavior, persistent state, lifecycle events, models, tools, sandboxes, subagents, skills, and MCP servers in code. Agents are stateful and addressable over HTTP, keep context across conversations and events, and can change capabilities as work progresses. Flue records every session in a durable stream, so accepted work survives crashes, restarts, and deploys; interrupted sessions resume automatically and clients reconnect without starting over. Developers can run agents locally, in CI, from their own backend, or orchestrate them with systems such as Cloudflare Workflows and Inngest. Secure sandboxes let agents run commands, edit files, and do real work, while tools connect them to APIs and data. Flue is powered by Pi and supports different LLM providers, allowing teams to choose the models they want.

Autopilot by Directionally Local
Autopilot is an open-source terminal coding agent and SDK for developers working in Git repositories. It reads a repository, plans tasks, edits files and runs commands, with plan, edit and automatic-approval modes. It connects to 25+ hosted model providers using your own credentials, supports local models through Ollama and LM Studio, and works with OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Autopilot runs on macOS, Linux and Windows for interactive sessions and unattended server jobs with runtime, token and cost budgets, checkpoint recovery and email notifications. It supports MCP servers, language-server features, hooks and local memory. Its headless SDK and JSONL-over-stdio RPC enable integration into other applications. On OpenRouter, subagents can run in read-only Hotcell sandboxes with short-lived, spend-capped tokens instead of the provider key. Autopilot is free and MIT-licensed; model-provider usage may incur separate charges.

dcode
dcode is an open-source terminal coding agent for developers and software teams. Built on the Deep Agents SDK, it can plan and execute coding tasks, inspect and edit project files, run tools, and delegate work to subagents. Its interactive terminal interface streams responses and lets users resume conversations across sessions; headless mode supports scripted and CI workflows. Users select a compatible model provider and supply their own credentials, then customize models, tools, plugins, skills, memory, middleware, hooks, and approval rules. Tool calls can be approved or rejected, and code can run locally or in supported remote sandboxes. dcode supports MCP tools and can connect to LangSmith for tracing prompts, responses, tool calls, errors, and token usage. It is intended for developers who want to configure and inspect an AI coding agent rather than use a fixed coding assistant.
