Oura

What Oura is

Oura is a free, open-source desktop browser for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or later. Its built-in AI assistant can analyze, summarize, and translate webpages, as well as answer questions about their content. Users can switch between Gemini models in settings, and AI Live Mode supports real-time voice conversations with spoken responses. Browser tools include a command palette, smart tabs, bookmarks, download tracking, history search, picture-in-picture, and per-domain zoom settings that persist. Users can manage camera, microphone, location, and notification permissions separately for each site. Oura describes its privacy model as having no telemetry, and its GitHub README says data remains local in SQLite. The browser is released under the MIT License. It is presented as a keyboard-first option for people who want browsing and AI assistance without leaving the current tab. The project lists Buy Me a Coffee and Pix as ways to support it.
