Three permission modes
Ask for approval, let it approve all but what looks risky, or give it full access. Switch any time from the composer.
LyraAn agent of its own.
A standalone AI agent, built from scratch. Bring your own models, and carry every session from desktop to phone.
Built from scratch
Not a wrapper.
The agent loop, the tools, skills, and MCP are all written from the ground up. There is no Claude Code or Codex underneath.

Your models. Your keys.
Add as many providers as you like, with as many models on each. All three API formats work.

- Chat CompletionsOther OpenAI-compatible services
Split view
Several conversations. One window.
Keep up to four sessions side by side, each with its own tools. When space runs short, they squeeze instead of spilling into new windows.
Sub-agents
Fan out. Report back.
The task tool hands work to agents with their own context. The legwork stays with them; only the conclusion comes back.

Seven built in. Write your own in .lyra/agents.
Plugin market
Install it. Now it knows how.
Skills, plugins, and MCP servers, browsed in one place and installed in one click. Skills load only when used, so dozens cost almost no context.

Workspace
Right beside the chat.
File preview
Files open beside the chat: code highlighted, Markdown rendered, mermaid diagrams and all.
Nine panes
Terminal, files, Git, browser, sub-agents and more. Open them all and drag them anywhere.
Scheduled tasks
Audit dependencies at nine every morning? Set the time; a fresh session runs it for you.

On your phone
Start at your desk. Carry on from your phone.
Your phone replays the same session log: watch a turn, approve an action, ask a follow-up. Models and keys never leave your computer.
Same Wi-Fi
Direct, and fastest.
Your own domain
Through your domain and TLS.
Relay
When neither side can reach the other.
MIT licensed
Open source. On everything.
Every line is on GitHub. Each release ships for macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS.

Context at a glance
A ring in the composer shows how much is used. Click it for the breakdown.
Awake while it works
One switch in General settings. Closing the lid still sleeps.
Side chat
A second conversation beside the first. It reads the main chat and writes nothing into it.
MCP
All three transports. Tools carry their server’s name, so nothing collides.
Built-in browser
The agent drives the very page you are looking at.
Skills on demand
Only names and descriptions sit in the prompt; the body loads when it is used. Dozens cost almost nothing.
Built-in formatters
Format in one click, or on save if you turn it on. Your project’s .prettierrc and .editorconfig come first.
It tells you when it’s done
A system notification when a task finishes while you are elsewhere.
