Getting Started

OsirisBrainNano is an ultra-lightweight Go application that sits on your machine. It connects to local models (Custom Llama.cpp Engine) or cloud models (API) to power an autonomous engine that manipulates your OS, writes code, tests it, and remembers everything via SQLite.

What You Need

Bring Your Own AI

OsirisBrain supports 10+ AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Groq, xAI, Mistral, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Together, NVIDIA, and Custom Llama.cpp. Setting it up takes less than a minute; see the Settings & Configuration section below.

Installation

macOS

1

Download the DMG

Go to the download section and pick "Apple Silicon" (for M1/M2/M3/M4 Macs) or "Intel" (for older Macs). Not sure? Click the Apple logo → "About This Mac" , if it says "Apple M1" (or M2, M3, M4), you have Apple Silicon.

2

Open the DMG

Double-click the downloaded file. A window appears with the OsirisBrain icon and your Applications folder. Drag the icon into Applications.

3

Launch the App

Open your Applications folder and double-click OsirisBrain. The first time, macOS may ask: "Are you sure you want to open it?" Click Open. This only happens once.

Windows

1

Download the Installer

Go to the download section and click "Windows". The .exe installer will download.

2

Run the Installer

Double-click the downloaded file. Follow the installation wizard. You can choose where to install it or just use the default location. Click "Install" and wait a few seconds.

3

Launch the App

OsirisBrain will appear on your Desktop and Start Menu. Double-click it to launch. Windows Defender may show a SmartScreen warning the first time. Click "More info" → "Run anyway".

Linux

1

Download the AppImage

Go to the download section and click "Linux". The .AppImage file will download.

2

Make it Executable

Open a terminal and run: chmod +x OsirisBrain-2026.2.17.AppImage

3

Run the App

Double-click the AppImage file, or run it from the terminal: ./OsirisBrain-2026.2.17.AppImage No installation needed. AppImages are portable and run directly.

Can't figure out which Mac version to download?

Click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of your screen → "About This Mac". If it says Chip: Apple M1 (or M2, M3, M4), download the "Apple Silicon" version. If it says Processor: Intel, download the "Intel" version.

The Go Architecture

Unlike Python-based AI agents, OsirisBrainNano is written completely in Go. This brings significant performance and reliability advantages out of the box.

Instant Startup

A single compiled binary. Zero virtual environments, zero PIP installs, and sub-second boot times.

True Concurrency

With no Global Interpreter Lock (GIL), the agent engine spawns thousands of parallel goroutines for subtasks without blocking.

Cross-Platform

Runs natively on Apple Silicon, Intel Macs, Windows, and Linux without fragile dependencies.

Local & Cloud Models

You have total freedom over where your intelligence comes from. OsirisBrainNano seamlessly blends local inference with cloud APIs.

1

Local Privacy (Metal/CUDA)

Configure the engine for custom local compilation natively. Run Llama-3, Qwen, or Phi completely offline.

2

Cloud Intelligence

Connect multiple external providers at once: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Groq.

3

Fallback Chain

The engine automatically falls back to secondary models if your primary choice rate-limits you or fails.

Triple-Layer SQLite Memory

OsirisBrainNano doesn't just scroll context blindly. It features a persistent SQLite memory engine partitioned like the human brain.

Episodic Store

"What happened." Timestamped events tracking exactly what you discussed, what the agent deployed, and errors encountered.

Semantic Facts

"What I know." Extracts and permanently stores your specific preferences, project architecture rules, and API keys.

Procedural Recipes

"How I do it." When the agent successfully solves a complex deployment or coding task, it saves the workflow to reuse later.

Aider-Grade Lint & Test Loop

OsirisBrainNano is fully autonomous when writing code. It doesn't just give you snippets; it acts as an end-to-end developer.

1

Code Generation

The agent writes code directly to your filesystem based on the task prompt.

2

Auto-Test & Lint

The engine intercepts the save, detects the language (Go, Python, JS, Rust), and silently runs go test, npm test, or eslint.

3

Self-Correction

If the tests fail, the agent reads the stderr trace and immediately fixes its own bugs in the same logical turn without asking you.

The Self-Healing Doctor

Built directly from the engine/doctor.go module, OsirisBrainNano constantly audits itself for maximum reliability.

280+ Native Tools

The agent comes equipped with 280+ ultra-optimized tools compiled directly into the binary. No PIP installs required.

CDP Browser Engine

Autonomous browser control via Chrome DevTools Protocol. The agent clicks, types, extracts state, and evaluates DOM.

OS Exec & Terminals

Full stealth execution of bash/zsh scripts, file operations, grep searching, and system-level mutations.

Google Workspace

Natively integrated to read your Gmail, scan your Calendar, and manage Google Drive architectures autonomously.

Cron Scheduler

Ask the agent to execute specific sub-agents daily at 3:00 AM. It manages the heartbeat silently in the background.

Settings & Configuration

All settings are entirely transparent and stored locally on your machine.

Your Data Vault

Navigate to ~/.osirisbrainnano/config.json in your terminal. Here you can edit models, swap providers, and link your custom GGUF models. All sessions are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data private?
Yes. Your conversations are stored in a secure database protected by Row Level Security. Only your license key can access your data. We never sell or share your information.
Do I need my own API key?
Yes. OsirisBrain connects to the AI provider of your choice using your own API key. You can get one from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, xAI, Mistral, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Together, NVIDIA, or use the custom local engine. See the Settings & Configuration section for step-by-step instructions on each provider.
Can I use it on multiple devices?
Yes. Your license key works on the desktop app (Mac, Windows, or Linux) and the web chat. Your chat history syncs across all devices.
What's included in the free tier?
The free tier gives you 3 hours of daily usage, forever — no credit card required. All tools and features are included. For unlimited usage, upgrade to Pro ($99/year). Your data and custom professionals are always preserved.
Can I delete my chat history?
Currently, chat history is managed per-professional. Each professional has its own separate conversation. Switching professionals gives you a fresh start.
Why does the AI sometimes give wrong answers?
AI models are very capable but not perfect. They can sometimes generate inaccurate information. Always verify important facts, especially for medical, legal, or financial advice. Use the thumbs-down button to flag unhelpful responses.
How do I switch between AI providers?
In the desktop app, click Providers in the settings sidebar on the left. You can add, remove, or switch your preferred AI provider from there.
The app won't open on macOS , what do I do?
Try right-clicking the app and selecting "Open" (instead of double-clicking). If macOS still blocks it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and look for the "Allow" button next to the OsirisBrain warning.
Windows SmartScreen is blocking the installer
This happens with new apps that aren't yet widely distributed. Click "More info" on the warning, then click "Run anyway". The app is safe , we just haven't paid for an Extended Validation (EV) code signing certificate yet.
How many custom professionals can I create?
There's no limit. Create as many custom professionals as you need , each one is saved to your account and accessible from any device.
