AI-native Linux · runs on your hardware

A computer that shows its work.

Lisa OS builds intelligence into the system, running locally, by default. Nothing leaves your machine without your say-so — and every model call, every file it reads, every action it takes is written to a record you can read.

This is real: the Ledger gates every model call before it runs. No entry, no action.

Why Lisa

Private because of how it's built — not because of a promise.

The warmth of a personal assistant that sees, hears, and helps, living on your hardware instead of someone else's data center.

Local by mechanism

Models run on your machine. The daemons that read your context have no network access at all — privacy enforced by the system, not by policy. Turning it off isn't a setting; there's nothing to turn off.

Private by default

Nothing offloads to a cloud provider unless you switch it on, per scope. When something would leave your hardware it's marked in a distinct amber, in the interface and in the record — you always know.

Yours, on the record

Every model call, every piece of context read, every action taken lands in an append-only Ledger you can read in plain English. No black box, no telemetry you can't see.

The assistant

Talk to a local model — or your own cloud, on the record.

Chat with the model that runs on your machine, or sign in to a provider you already pay for. Either way, the turn is streamed, and the egress is marked.

Alpha, in the open

What works today.

We build in the open and we're honest about the state. Real, on real hardware, now.

Working now

  • Bootable, self-updating immutable OS — A/B slots, auto-rollback
  • Local inference + guided generation as a system service
  • Append-only audit Ledger, enforced by the system
  • On-device context search with per-app permissions
  • Bring-your-own cloud providers — signed in, off by default
  • A chat assistant: local and cloud models, streaming, ledgered

On the way

  • Native AI panel in Settings for models & providers
  • Always-on ambient assistant
  • Apps you can generate and install locally
  • Voice + wake-word loop, fully on device
Take your computing home

Flash it, boot it, read the record.

Try the alpha on real hardware. It's free and open source — your machine, your models, your record.
