Changelog

Oscilla 2.0 brings a refreshed experience on iPhone and an all-new native Mac app, with more ways to chat, organize your work, and choose the AI models that work for you.

Create personalized Assistants, organize conversations into Projects, search the web, import compatible models, and keep the conversation moving with queued messages and a redesigned Voice Mode. Enhanced Memory, a new Usage dashboard, and clearer model guidance give you more control over your experience.

For the first time, Oscilla also connects your iPhone to your Mac through OS Bridge—letting you chat from your phone using compatible models running on your Mac.

Oscilla for Mac requires Apple Silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 26 or later.
