The desktop intelligence
anchored at your notch.
Aura transforms the MacBook camera bezel into a tactile, responsive action center. Driven by voice with instant barge-in, backed by OpenAgentSDK, and running natively with zero electron bloat.
Engineered for the Mac.
Not ported from the web.
Concave MacBook Notch HUD
Curves gracefully around the camera bezel with 6pt concave reverse fillets. It auto-expands with native spring physics to present live tool statuses, transcription, and outputs without stealing active window focus.
screenFrame.maxY - panelHeight)Living Aurora Orb
4 reactive visual states rendered with GPU particle shaders, reacting live to speech RMS and model reasoning.
Native System Tools
Controls your Mac directly. Dispatches shell commands, adjusts volume, launches applications, and queries files in milliseconds.
Safety Guardrails
AST token classification halts destructive commands like rm -rf or sudo before any terminal execution occurs.
Keychain Vault
Bring your own API keys for Google Gemini or OpenAI. Credentials are saved locally into the macOS Keychain with hardware Secure Enclave isolation.
One spoken sentence.
Real macOS execution.
Desktop Automation
Executes native macOS system calls directly via AppleScript and CoreGraphics with zero bridge delay.
“Quit Slack, set system volume to 20%, and take a screenshot of my workspace”
A new paradigm for
desktop intelligence.
