Ouro · Native Mac apps

Markdown that renders as you write.

Ouro makes small, sharp apps for people who live in text. First out of the workshop: Ouro MD — write in Markdown and read it in place. No preview pane, no toggle, no source-code cave.

The apps

One workshop, more than one tool.

Ouro MD is the first app you can download here. Workbench and whatever comes next get their own home on the same shelf — when they're real, not before.

In the workshop

Ouro Workbench

A native command center for running, watching, and steering agent work — repos, tasks, and the space between them, without losing the plot.

Later

More small tools

The shelf grows as the tools do: one clear card, one honest status, one obvious next step. No vaporware, no roadmaps you'll resent.

Why Ouro

Made the way desktop software used to be made.

Genuinely native

Real Mac apps, not a browser tab in a trench coat. Native menus, shortcuts, and windows — fast, quiet, and at home on macOS.

Local-first

Your files are plain files on your disk. No account to make, no cloud to trust, nothing phoning your documents home.

Shipped with receipts

Public downloads are Developer-ID signed and notarized, with checksums and manifests you can verify. Trust, but audit.
