# What is Orylo?

A native Mac home for the agents and model APIs you already use.

<a id="what-it-is"></a>

## Your work, with your assistants

Orylo brings local Agents, model APIs, conversations, and tools into one native macOS app. Open a lightweight Composer beside your work, use the full conversation window, or capture an idea through the Notch.

You choose the Assistant and the context to share. Orylo is not a model subscription and does not replace an Agent’s own runtime, login, or usage limits.

## Availability and the browser demo

Download the latest Orylo release for Apple silicon or Intel from the download page. [Orylo](https://orylo.io/en/download)

The browser demo uses sample content and simulated replies. It does not connect to your Agents, read your files, or grant desktop permissions. This guide describes the implemented Mac experience; available options can differ by Assistant.
