aura is a privacy-first, ai-powered desktop browser. it’s designed to be your second brain for the web: you browse, save, summarize, and recall — with on-device ai and no need to send your data to the cloud. built on chromium, with built-in automation and focus by default.

normal browsers are transport: they get you to pages. aura is transport plus memory plus intelligence. you can save pages, clips, and summaries into a local knowledge base, organize by workspace, and ask questions over your own content. the browser remembers and can automate repetitive workflows — all on your device.

many ai browsers send your urls, history, or page content to the cloud. aura runs ai on your machine. your browsing, prompts, and saved content stay local by default. you get intelligence without trading privacy.
