Open source and Omi Cloud - Omi Developers

What is open

Everything needed to run and build on Omi lives in BasedHardware/omi, under the MIT License:

Component	In the repo
Mobile apps	`app/` — Flutter app for iOS and Android
Backend	`backend/` — the API, processing, and MCP server
Desktop apps	`desktop/` — the macOS app, plus community-maintained ports
Firmware	`omi/firmware/` — DevKit and consumer (CV1) firmware
Hardware files	schematics, Gerbers, KiCad sources, and mechanical files — see Open Hardware Files
Apps platform	`plugins/` — open-source community apps

What Omi Cloud adds

Omi Cloud is the hosted service the apps use: the backend at api.omi.me, the app store, firmware updates, and the processing that turns audio into conversations and memories. A free account covers the core loop, and paid plans add more usage and features. Current plans are on omi.me. The Developer API, MCP server, CLI, and SDKs all run against Omi Cloud with your own account. You can read, fork, and modify everything in the repository.

Can I run it myself? Can I control my data?

The source is all here, and contributors run the backend locally for development (Backend setup). Running your own production copy of Omi is not supported or documented. If what you want is control over where your data goes, use these instead:

Bring your own key

Use your own model keys, or run transcription on your phone or your own server

Export & deletion

Export your conversations or delete your account from the app
