Data that stays inside
Files, mail, conversations and AI work all live on machines you own. No accounts, no telemetry, nothing reporting back.
Ollie System
A complete desktop and a family of applications designed together, deployed on your own infrastructure. Files, mail and AI stay on machines you own.
The whole surface
Why Ollie
Built for organizations that keep their systems in-house.
A complete desktop environment, its applications and its AI — designed together, running on hardware you control.
One vendor, one stack
The desktop, the applications and the AI are designed, versioned and supported together — by the people who wrote them.
Works with no connection
Every application runs fully offline, the AI included. Built for air-gapped rooms, remote sites and links you cannot rely on.
Standard Linux underneath
Debian and Ubuntu, unmodified where it matters. The packages, tooling and administration knowledge you already have still apply.
AI without a third party
Models run on your own hardware. No prompt, document or conversation is sent to an outside provider unless you configure one.
Runs on what you own
Modest hardware requirements, so putting Ollie in front of a team does not have to begin with a fleet refresh.
The Ollie ecosystem
Every application, designed together.
One catalogue, one design language, one release cadence — and every application keeps its files in a clearly named folder on the machine, so the work is easy to find, audit and move.
Suite
A creative workstation — code, rich text, 3D, video, image, PDF, and audio editors in one place. Available standalone in editions from Write to Studio, with Studio as the full stack.
Intelligence
Run AI models right on your computer. Download a model, run it on your processor or graphics card, and chat with it offline.
Email, calendar, and contacts in one place, using the standard services your provider already supports. Your messages stay on your disk — and drafts you write at thirty thousand feet send the moment you land.
Browser
Surfing without the surveillance. Tabs, bookmarks, history — none of it leaves your machine.
Assistant
An agent that works your computer and orchestrates the other Ollie apps. Plug in the provider you trust — local Intelligence, Ollama, Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini — and extend it with your own tools, skills and MCP servers.
Cosmos
A sovereign 3D world and game engine. Walk, fly, and build — right-click anything to recode it live. Multiplayer and seed-shareable, and inhabited by people and AI agents through one interface.
Maps
Offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. Download the areas you travel — tiles and roads — then search, route, and navigate them with no connection at all.
Marine
Offline nautical charts and passage navigation. Download your cruising area — charts, seamarks and tide stations — then navigate it, watch your anchor and read the tide with no signal at all.
Aviator
Sectional charts, flight planning and a real nav log. Download your flying area — airports, runways, frequencies, airspace and magnetic variation — then fly it with wind-corrected headings, fuel checks and airspace alerts, with no signal at all.
Hub
Ecosystem dashboard. See every app's status, version, and license at a glance.
Explorer
File manager with previews, fast search, and a clear mental model. No tags you didn't ask for.
Media
Music, video, photos — handles common formats. No accounts, no subscriptions.
Catalog
A curated software store on top of standard Ubuntu — install Chrome, LibreOffice, GIMP, VLC, and more in one click. It's regular Linux underneath.
Notepad
Simple note-taking with auto-save. Files are real files — open them in vim if you want.
Camera
Webcam capture for photos and short clips. Saves directly to your home directory.
Settings
Appearance, sound, network, users, display, about. Direct, no nested submenus seven layers deep.
Desktop
The shell — dock, launchpad, system tray. The window chrome you see on every app comes from here.
Ollie Suite and Ollie Assistant also run standalone on Mac, Windows and Linux. Smaller applications ship Linux builds — the same family of products, still private by default.
No accounts. No telemetry.
Files, mail, conversations and AI work all live on machines you own. Nothing runs in the background reporting on your people, and nothing leaves the network unless you decide it should.
Built on solid ground.
Underneath the surface is standard Debian and Ubuntu — the same open foundation trusted to run servers, laboratories and critical systems the world over. Stable, familiar, and yours to extend.
Sovereign storage
Your data, where you can find it.
Every Ollie application keeps its data in a named folder in the user's home directory — files and settings you can browse, copy, move, audit and back up like anything else on the machine.
- One clear folder per app, so you always know where to look.
- No locked-in cloud silo — the work stays on the machine unless you choose otherwise.
- Move the folder to another Ollie System machine to bring that app's local history with you.
- Delete the folder when you want an app to start fresh.
- Back it up with whatever you already use to back up a Linux machine.
Where everything lives
One folder per app, in your home directory:
~/.ollie-{app}/state.json
Local AI, and an agent that uses it
An AI that does the work, on hardware you own.
Ollie Intelligence runs models directly on the machine — the model on your disk, the conversation on your disk. Ollie Assistant turns that model into an agent: it reads files, runs commands, drives a browser and operates every other Ollie application. Together they are a complete AI stack with no third party in it.
smart_toy
An agent, not a chat window
Assistant does the work — editing files, running commands, filling in web forms, drafting mail — and reports back when it's done.
swap_horiz
Any model you like
Run it entirely locally through Intelligence or Ollama, or bring your own key for Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini. Switching models changes nothing else.
wifi_off
Built for offline
Once a model is on the machine, the network is optional. Use it in an air-gapped room, on a vessel at sea, or on a site with no link at all.
extension
Extend it yourself
Tools, skills and personas are files in a folder — add your own, or connect any MCP server, with no rebuild and no plugin store.
share
Available to every Ollie app
Suite, Assistant and Mail all reach the same model on your machine. One model, shared by everything — not a separate one for each.
No walled garden
Runs the software you already use.
Ollie is real Linux underneath, with a one-click software store. LibreOffice, Chrome, GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, OBS — thousands of packages, including much of what your people already run on Windows.
Thousands more through the built-in store, and much Windows software runs through the bundled compatibility layer. A full-screen console mode also ships with the system, for the machines that want one.
Runs light
Runs well on the hardware you already own.
Ollie is designed to stay fast and stay out of the way, so machines already in service keep earning their place. A deployment does not have to begin with a hardware refresh.
Check hardware compatibility
Also for Mac and Windows
Ollie Assistant doesn't need Ollie System.
The agent at the centre of the ecosystem installs on macOS, Windows and Linux as a normal desktop app — reading files, running commands, driving a browser, and working against a local model or your own cloud key. It is how most companies meet Ollie for the first time.
About Ollie AssistantFor developers and creators
Ollie Suite is included.
Ollie Suite is the creative workstation inside Ollie System. The same app family is available standalone in editions from Write up to Studio — Studio is the full stack — for macOS, Windows, and other Linux distros.
About Ollie SuiteFor organizations
Bring it into your organization.
We deploy Ollie on your own infrastructure, fit it to how your people actually work, and stay with it. One vendor for the desktop, the applications and the AI — and nothing has to leave your network.
Talk to usFree to download and evaluate, on as many machines as you like.
Questions, answered.
Can we evaluate it first?
Yes. Download the ISO, boot it from USB or install it on a spare machine, and put it in front of the people who would use it. No licence, no conversation, no obligation.
Will our existing software run?
Ollie is standard Linux underneath, with a one-click software store for LibreOffice, Chrome, VLC and thousands of other packages. Much Windows software runs through the bundled compatibility layer.
How do we get it?
Downloading and evaluating it is free — take the ISO and run it on your own hardware for as long as you like. When you want it in your organization, we arrange that directly with you: we deploy it, fit it to your work, and support it.
Where does our data live?
On the machine. Every application stores its data in a named folder under the user's home directory, so it can be browsed, audited and backed up with whatever you already use. There is no cloud silo to request an export from.
Who administers it?
Your own people, with the Linux tooling they already know — it is Debian and Ubuntu underneath, so imaging, packaging and policy work the usual way. We set up the first deployment alongside them.
How long is it supported?
Ollie tracks a long-term Linux base and ships regular updates throughout each version year, so your systems stay secure for years.
Who is behind it?
Costa & Associates LLC, a software company registered in New Mexico, United States. The people who wrote the system are the people who deploy and support it — there is no tier one to get past.
Can it run air-gapped?
Yes. Activation needs a brief connection the first time; after that everything works with no network at all, the AI included. Fully disconnected sites are handled as part of the deployment.
Evaluate it first.
Download the ISO, write it to a USB drive, boot from it. Run the whole system on your own hardware, for as long as you want, before you talk to anyone.
