Bring Synra to your Mac: an animated AI companion for chat, voice, local models, daily briefings, file memory, and smart-home control.
Synra AI is an animated AI assistant for Mac designed to feel more like a real desktop companion than a simple chat window.
Ask questions, use voice commands, connect your favorite AI model, organize your day, work with selected files, and control compatible smart-home devices through Home Assistant — all from a premium Mac-native companion experience.
Synra appears as an expressive animated avatar that can listen, think, speak, react, and move with different companion states. Choose from multiple Synra avatar styles, customize the stage, and create a workspace that feels alive on your Mac.
BUILT FOR REAL AI WORK
Synra AI supports flexible model routing so you can connect the assistant to the AI setup that works best for you. Use local models through LM Studio or Ollama, or configure supported cloud providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Instead of locking you into one model, Synra lets you create routes for different needs, including chat, writing, coding, research, tool reasoning, and fast fallback responses.
AN ANIMATED ASSISTANT, NOT JUST A CHAT BOX
Synra gives your AI a visual presence. The assistant can react to conversation states such as idle, listening, thinking, speaking, and offline. The built-in Stage Studio lets you customize avatars, backgrounds, motion behavior, and the overall look of your companion.
Whether you want a focused command-room assistant, a creative companion, or an ambient desktop presence, Synra gives your AI personality and presence on your Mac.
VOICE, DAILY BRIEFINGS, AND QUICK ACTIONS
Use Synra for everyday productivity:
• Ask questions through chat or voice
• Start a daily briefing
• Check model connections
• Review smart-home approvals
• Search selected local folders
• Open quick actions from the command palette
• Use the menu bar companion for faster access
• Configure voice recognition and speech settings
Synra is designed to help you move from “I need to check everything myself” to “Synra, brief me and help me take action.”
PRIVATE MEMORY AND FILE CONTEXT
Synra AI includes private memory tools for selected local folders, documents, PDFs, notes, and personal knowledge sources you choose to connect.
You stay in control. Synra only works with approved folders, selected memory sources, and permissioned data. Use local file memory to help Synra recall documents, summarize information, and give more useful answers based on your own workspace.
SMART HOME CONTROL WITH HOME ASSISTANT
Synra AI can connect to Home Assistant to discover compatible entities, review home status, and control supported devices such as lights, switches, scenes, and scripts.
For safety, Synra includes approval flows, risk levels, and an action audit log. Low-risk actions can be streamlined when trusted control is enabled, while higher-risk actions can require confirmation before anything runs.
Your Mac becomes more than a computer — it becomes a command center for your AI assistant and your connected home.
AGENTS FOR ROUTINES AND AUTOMATION
Synra includes agent routines for tasks such as:
• Daily briefing
• Research assistance
• Home Assistant actions
• File organization suggestions
• Calendar and reminder follow-up
• Ambient companion check-ins
Agents are designed around visibility and control, so you can see what Synra is doing, review results, and approve actions when needed.
PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
Synra AI is built around clear permission states, local settings, Keychain-backed secrets, user-selected file access, and visible approval flows.
You decide what Synra can access. You decide which model routes to use. You decide which smart-home actions require confirmation. You decide what memory sources are enabled.
