No meeting bot.
OpenSS does not join the call, appear on the participant list or require a meeting recording bot.
Capture. Understand. Respond.
OpenSS is a native macOS assistant for screenshots, local voice transcription, and hosted AI that works with your desktop. Start free with hosted AI included, then move up to Luna, Terra, and Sol when you need more capability.
Built for a local-first desktop workflow.
Local intelligence
Screenshot capture, OCR, and on-device voice transcription stay on your Mac. You decide when relevant text or image context is sent for AI help.
Hosted models included
Free includes Mini. Pro unlocks Mini, Luna, Terra, and Sol with a larger monthly allowance and purchased AI credits when you need more.
Billing that matches the product
Free starts with 200 included AI units each billing month. Pro includes 500 weighted AI units, with clear usage tracking and additional AI credits available separately.
Optional CLI BYOK
Advanced users can still keep their own provider keys for Terminal CLI workflows. Desktop product messaging now focuses on OpenSS-hosted AI instead of API-key setup.
Fast enough to stay in the task.
OpenSS keeps the workflow direct: capture context locally, send only what is required for help, and keep usage and plan boundaries explicit.
Capture
Choose Chrome, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or use plain text and voice input in the composer.
Understand
OpenSS extracts text locally, then uses Mini, Luna, Terra, or Sol only when you ask for hosted help.
Respond
Read answers near your eye-line, keep the thread in one place, and track included AI units from the same account.
Less setup. More useful context.
OpenSS is designed for visible questions, code, documents, slides, and errors. Hosted AI is included from the start, so the desktop flow no longer depends on provider-key setup.

Private in the room. Discreet on screen.
OpenSS runs beside your meeting rather than joining it. Native window controls keep useful context near your eye-line while supported macOS protection reduces accidental sharing.
Supported screen-share protection.
Native macOS protection can keep OpenSS out of supported capture workflows. Behaviour varies, so verify your meeting setup first.
Follows your eye-line.
Position the window below the camera notch or move it to a comfortable spot on the active display.
Local voice, with time to correct it.
On-device
Transcription
Audio is captured and transcribed with Apple frameworks on your Mac. Raw voice audio is not sent to an AI provider.
~2 sec
Silence detection
OpenSS finishes after a short pause, while still allowing brief natural breaks in speech.
90 sec
Maximum recording
The transcript appears in the composer for review before the normal chat route submits it.
Your workspace stays yours.
OpenSS runs locally on your Mac. Audio and OCR stay local by default; when you ask for hosted help, the submitted instruction, captured image, supporting OCR, and any saved chat context are sent only for that request.
Local voiceRaw meeting audio is not uploaded by the desktop app.
Local historyConversations are stored on your machine.
Clear routingHosted AI uses the OpenSS service; optional CLI BYOK requests go directly to your provider.

A signed and notarised native release for Apple Silicon. Download the DMG, move OpenSS to Applications, sign in, and start with hosted AI included.

Hosted AI is included. Sign in after installing to start with the current desktop plan allowance. Optional provider keys remain a Terminal CLI workflow, not the primary desktop setup path.
Normal macOS first-launch confirmation may appear because OpenSS was downloaded from the internet. Not sure which Mac you have? Apple menu → About This Mac → Chip.
