Velora is a native Mac app for Apple silicon (macOS 26 or newer). It boots Debian, Ubuntu or macOS virtual machines in one click on Apple's Virtualization framework, and runs a local AI platform on the same Mac: MLX models and OpenAI-compatible endpoints, LoRA training, k3s clusters, FluxVM and Kairon, and a fleet of Macs.

This repository holds the website, documentation and downloadable builds (see Releases). It does not contain the app's source code.

Get started

1. Download Velora-0.4.0.pkg and open it, or download Velora-0.4.0.dmg and drag Velora to Applications. Each has a .sha256 next to it.
2. The build is ad-hoc signed, not notarized: right-click Velora, Open, the first time.
3. Press ⌘N, choose Debian, Ubuntu or macOS, then Create & Start.

Read the install guide, then the tutorials: your first VM, a private OpenAI-compatible endpoint, fine-tuning with LoRA, a k3s cluster, FluxVM and Kairon and a fleet of Macs. How it works explains the pieces.

New in 0.4

• Console & Command: a running Linux machine's toolbar opens its live serial console, a command box with exit codes, and file upload and download. It goes through a small guest agent on virtio-vsock, so it works with the guest's network down; older guests fall back to SSH, and Install Agent adds the agent to them.
• Machines: snapshots and restore, clones with a fresh identity, suspend to disk and resume, shared folders, Rosetta, and port forwards on 127.0.0.1.
• FluxVM: named images (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Rocky), port forwards, shared folders, console, commands, file copy, snapshots and clones from the app.
• Kairon: this Mac registers as a Kubernetes Node in a Velora k3s cluster; Machines scheduled to it boot through FluxVM.
• Fleet: a card per Mac with memory and memory pressure, heat, disk, Thunderbolt links, RDMA and per-endpoint speed.
• One model across Macs (experimental): EXO-backed endpoints behind the same gateway and keys. Not yet run on two Macs.
• A .pkg installer next to the DMG on every release; signed and notarized once a Developer ID is configured.

What ran is listed in docs/RELEASE.md.

Licensing

• The app is under the Business Source License 1.1 (LICENSE-APP.txt): free for personal and home use, learning, research, labs, development and testing (including inside a company); production business use needs a commercial licence. Plain words: LICENSING.md.
• macOS guests are licensed by Apple, not by Velora: MACOS-LICENSING.md. Velora limits you to two active macOS guests by default and asks you to confirm Apple's terms the first time.
• This website and documentation are Copyright 2026 Zyvor AI Labs, all rights reserved (LICENSE).

Builds before 0.4 (0.3.x) were released earlier under Apache-2.0.
