Press kit

See and control your Mac from your iPhone or iPad, and hand it instructions that an assistant on the Mac carries out.

Oriel pairs a phone with a Mac once, with a QR code, and reconnects on the local network after that. Screen pixels travel only end-to-end encrypted from the Mac to the paired phone.

The assistant splits the work between two models: a planner breaks a request into small sub-tasks, and a fast executor reads the screen on the Mac and carries each one out. The owner can pause, stop, answer its questions or approve a step. It never types passwords, one-time codes or card numbers, and it asks on the phone before payments, deletions, public posts, sign-ins and system security dialogs.

The models run on the Mac, on the owner's own network through Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible server, or with a frontier model through the owner's own key. There is no Oriel account and no subscription. The Mac companion is free and its source is public under the Apache-2.0 license.
