Free and open source for macOS

Your desktop,
put to work.

Oree takes the place of the macOS desktop. A picture, a box to ask for anything, and the things you check all day, already open.

Assistant

Ask the desktop.

An agent goes to work on this Mac, through Claude Code or Codex on your own account. It asks before it changes anything.

Picture

Any picture, made of dots.

Choose any image. Oree prints it as a grid of dots and lets it dissolve into the desktop, so picture and widgets read as one surface.

Stays on your Mac

No account, no telemetry. The only thing that leaves is a location rounded to a kilometre, for the weather.

Asks once

macOS asks for calendar, reminders and location one time each. Full Disk Access is optional.

Easy to undo

One button in Settings gives the desktop back to Finder and puts everything as it was.

A few things
to know.

Does it replace Finder?

No. Oree stands in for Finder's desktop, the layer behind your windows. Finder itself keeps running, your files stay where they are, and "Show in Finder" still opens Finder.

What does the assistant need?

Claude Code or Codex installed and signed in on your Mac. Oree drives the one you choose and holds no keys of its own. Without either, the widgets and files still work.

Can the assistant change my files?

Claude Code can, and it asks first: Oree shows you each request with Allow and Don't allow. Codex cannot ask, so Oree runs it read-only.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Oree is open source under the MIT licence. The agents use your own Claude or ChatGPT plan.

Which Macs does it run on?

macOS 14 or later. The glass surfaces need macOS 26; earlier versions get a frosted material instead.

How do I install it?

For now you build it from source with one command, ./run.sh. Xcode's command line tools are enough.

Make yourself at home.

Free, open source, and yours to change.
