New · Nine native Mac apps join the catalog — video, audio, photos, data and storage

Frontier-level AI on your computer, without the monthly bill.

Our flagship app, MultiAgentOS, is the budget-friendly alternative to frontier LLM subscriptions. Plug in a cheaper API from a provider like DeepSeek or Groq, or run a private local model, then put it to work with a full desktop tool harness: a coding agent, document creation, browser and desktop automation, and more. And brand new: our AI Engineering, Data Engineering, Software Engineering, and ML Engineering apps: full-featured software for learning each career, with 40 courses and 400 interactive lessons apiece, on your own Mac. And newest of all: nine native Mac apps — VideoNotes, Lectern, Broadcut, Shorts, Sift, SpaceLens, Recast, Alembic and Tidyset — covering video editing, live streaming, transcription, study notes, photo cleanup, file conversion, storage analysis and data cleaning. Every download is the complete, fully activated app.

See it in action

Ask in plain words, then watch the software work.

The core tools are built around visible, interruptible workflows: browser sessions, desktop tasks, files, terminals, coding lessons, and job-search drafts.

Connect any LLM

One model, a full agent harness

Connect an API key or a local model, then watch the LLM gain web research, GitHub, memory and RAG, image generation, OCR, subagents and more.

Autonomous research

From a question to a cited PDF

Ask a research question; MAOS searches multiple sources, cross-checks them, and writes a designed, accent-styled PDF report on its own.

Agentic browser control

It drives the web for you

Ask in plain English and MAOS navigates job sites itself, extracting live listings, salary bands and market trends.

01

MultiAgentOS

The budget-friendly alternative to frontier LLM subscriptions. Connect a cheaper provider API or a private local model, and MultiAgentOS gives it frontier-level reach through its own desktop tool harness, so you get top-tier capability without a monthly bill.

  • Local AI coding agent: read, write, and edit code and run shell, Python, and Node in a built-in editor and terminal
  • Local document creation: generate real PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files on your machine
  • Browser and desktop automation: navigate, click, fill forms, screenshot, and manage files, all under your supervision
  • GitHub built in, web search and fetch, MCP connectors, and supervised subagents for bigger jobs
  • Use cheaper frontier APIs (DeepSeek, Groq, Together, Mistral, OpenAI, Anthropic, and 30+ more) with your own key
  • Or run local AI fully offline (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, GGUF) with the same advanced harness
  • Human-first: approval walls, visible tool runs, and an emergency stop keep you in control
02

LLM Academy

The best companion to MultiAgentOS. Train your own open-source LLM into a custom specialist with no code, then run it inside MultiAgentOS for even more tailored performance, all without expensive subscriptions. Don't start from a blank page: begin with the Training Recipes Database, hundreds of one-click "train a ___ specialist" recipes you can mix and match into one personalised model.

  • Training Recipes Database: hundreds of ready-made "train a ___ specialist" recipes, searchable and mixable, plus upload or create your own, so the connected LLM can build a model to your exact spec (browse the database)
  • Three-step, no-code Expert Builder turns a base model into your own specialist
  • Train it to become an HR assistant, software developer, legal explainer, finance coach, travel expert, or any custom role
  • Teach it your knowledge and tone with your own documents (PDF, DOCX, CSV) and question-answer examples
  • Fine-tune locally with QLoRA / LoRA at Quick, Balanced, or Thorough depth, with live training metrics
  • Built-in model hub finds open-source models matched to your hardware
  • Export to GGUF, LoRA, or a merged model and load it straight into MultiAgentOS
  • Or serve it over a local OpenAI-compatible API and point MultiAgentOS at your own model
03

LLM Browser

A desktop browser built for humans and AI agents. Browse normally, or let an LLM navigate, click, fill forms, execute JavaScript, take screenshots, and report back through a visible bridge panel and local JSON-RPC/WebSocket server.

  • Read and summarize any page, triage an inbox, or compare results grounded in what is on screen
  • Navigate and act: open pages, click, fill and submit forms, scroll, and switch tabs on sites you are already signed in to
  • Run real chores: search a job board, clear spam, or gather details across several pages while you watch
  • Chrome-like UI with tabs, bookmarks, history, and downloads; connect a cheaper API, OAuth, a local server, or a GGUF model
  • Drive it from your own scripts and agents over JSON-RPC 2.0 on HTTP and WebSocket (port 9224)
04

Jobomate

A desktop app for job seekers and recruiters. A real browser and an AI assistant sit side by side: find roles or candidates, draft tailored emails and cover letters from your CV or role brief, and send from your own inbox, only after you approve.

  • Job seeker and recruiter modes in one window
  • Finds roles or candidates in a real browser and gathers them into one trackable list
  • Drafts tailored application emails, cover letters, and recruiter outreach from your CV or role brief
  • Score and shortlist the strongest matches
  • Approval wall before any message sends from your own email
  • Works with cheaper provider APIs or fully private local models
05

Codemonkey AI

A fully local desktop app for learning to code with an AI tutor, built on the same Avalonia shell as MultiAgentOS. It pairs the full chat-and-sidecar workspace with structured language tracks, thousands of interactive lessons, multi-file coding projects, and a built-in glossary.

  • 20 difficulty-grouped language tracks and 2,478 step-by-step lessons
  • Chats, Lessons, Projects, and Glossary modes in one app
  • Runs locally on macOS and Windows so your practice stays private

Use the AI stack you already trust.

Bring cloud APIs, local servers, OAuth providers, terminal commands, or fully local model files. The software keeps those options visible instead of hiding them behind a black box.

API Key

Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, xAI, Google, Mistral, and compatible providers.

Local Server

Use Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, GPT4All, vLLM, or your own compatible local server.

CLI Pipe

Route prompts through command line tools and collect their output inside the app.

OAuth

Sign in to supported providers without scattering credentials around your system.

Terminal

Let the software run supervised shell tasks when the job calls for it.

Local AI

Point at GGUF model files and run offline where that workflow makes sense.

A focused toolset for real work.

MultiAgentAI software is designed for repeatable tasks: browsing, code, terminal work, file handling, screenshots, language practice, application drafts, and supervised handoffs.

25Core tools ready out of the box
5Extra Windows toolsets
7Apps and platform builds

Built the way good desktop software should be.

Local-first where possible, transparent when tools run, practical about model choice, and careful about what leaves your machine.

Stays local by default

Your prompts, files, settings, and run history stay on your machine unless you choose a cloud provider.

Bring your own model

Use API providers, local servers, terminal tools, or local GGUF models depending on the task.

Donation access

Support the build, choose a product and platform, and receive a private installer link when builds are available.

You stay in charge

Approval walls, visible sidecars, and stop controls keep the human in the loop.

Flagship product

MultiAgentOS: frontier-level AI, without the subscription.

Bring a cheaper provider API or a private local model, then let MultiAgentOS put it to work with a full desktop tool harness: coding, documents, browsing, terminal, and automation, all under your control. Pair it with LLM Academy to train your own custom model.
