Oscar

Voice-driven assistant

Ask out loud.
Get an answer back.

Oscar listens through Siri, thinks in the background, and answers on your lock screen. The slow work keeps going after you have put the phone down — and comes back as a notification when it is finished.

What it does

More than a question box

Most of what Oscar does happens while you are somewhere else.

Speak, not type

One Shortcut, one phrase. Dictate a question and the answer comes back written to fit on a lock screen — short first, detail underneath.

Missions that finish themselves

Anything too big for one answer becomes a plan, and the plan becomes the memory. Oscar works through it step by step and tells you when it is done.

Schedules and protocols

Standing instructions that run without you: a morning brief, a nightly check, a rule that fires the moment something changes.

Connected, on your terms

Your own Google grant for mail, calendar, files and tasks. Add MCP servers of your own — every tool they offer starts switched off until you allow it.

Reaches your laptop

A small runner on your own machine decides what may run. Allowed commands go ahead, risky ones stop and ask you first, and the rest are refused outright.

Asks when it should

When a choice is genuinely yours, the run freezes mid-flight and waits. You answer from your phone and it picks up exactly where it stopped.

How it works

Three moving parts

And none of them is an app store.

  1. Say it

    “Hey Siri, Ask Oscar.” The Shortcut takes your dictated words and posts them to your own deployment. Nothing to install from a store.

  2. It works

    Quick questions come straight back. Anything longer becomes a background job that survives you locking the phone.

  3. It tells you

    The answer arrives as a notification, and the whole trace — every tool it used — is waiting in the console when you want to check its work.

Your data

Your Oscar is yours

  • Accounts are approved by a person. Somebody asks, the owner gets an email, and nothing happens until they say yes.
  • Nobody sees anybody else's data. Every account has its own history, plans, notes, schedules and connected accounts.
  • Destructive things ask twice. Deleting and sending need a second, signed confirmation — never a single tap.
  • You host it. Your deployment, your database, your API keys. There is no middleman account to close.

Windows and Mac

Put Oscar on your computer

The website is the floor. Your computer raises it: files, commands, project state — and a Code window that works through a task step by step.

64-bit Windows 10 or 11. Installs for you alone, so it never asks for administrator. Nothing else to install.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. Open the disk image and drag Oscar into Applications.

  • Your machine decides what runs. The allow list, the refusals and the confirmation prompt all live on the computer, after anything the server asked for — and are not reachable from it.
  • It only sees what you show it. Folders are granted one at a time, drawn on a map, and can be taken back the same way.
  • You will be warned twice, and both are about the same thing. The app is not code-signed yet, so neither Chrome nor Windows recognises it. Chrome says it isn’t commonly downloaded — open the downloads list, click the three dots beside the file, and choose Keep. Windows then says Windows protected your PC — choose More info, then Run anyway.
  • You can check it is the file we published. Every release lists the installer’s SHA-256. Compare it with Get-FileHash .\OscarSetup.exe in PowerShell.

Ready when you are

It takes one Shortcut and one sign-in.
