On-device reactions
Oneira's expressive reactions run on the device, so its face can respond without relying on a cloud request.

A pocket device with an actual developer surface.
How software developers use Oneira: Developer Mode, GitHub and Developer integration areas, MCP servers, custom APIs, and community apps to ship work.
Product status
What is available now?
- Working today
Working today means the expressive face has been demonstrated on a real Oneira device.
- Connected beta
Connected beta features require the Oneira app, internet access, a compatible service, and permissions you approve. They can change and may not work with every service.
The short answer
Oneira treats developers as owners rather than intruders: Developer Mode ships on the device, MCP servers and custom APIs connect through the app, GitHub and Developer integration areas cover the work itself, and community apps close the loop by shipping what you build.

Oneira Dream Big+
A local AI powerhouse in a star.
Small enough to look playful. Built with a dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera, plus optional connected experiences you control.
Each $80 Founding Unit includes one Oneira device with a dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera, plus the selected color and included eye set. Only the final 1K camera module may change before fulfillment. Optional connected services, separate accounts, usage, and third-party fees are not included.
Dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera
The working prototype includes a dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera. The dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera are included in the $80 Founding Unit; only the final 1K camera module may change before fulfillment.
See included hardwareOptional connected services
Optional compatible connected services can extend Oneira when you choose. Setup, permissions, internet access, service terms, accounts, usage, and fees remain separate. Connected experiences work only with compatible services the owner deliberately configures. Oneira does not connect automatically to every service.
See compatible connectionsCompatible connected tools
Compatible connected tools are optional and owner-configured. Nothing is preconfigured, and universal compatibility is not promised.
See connected featuresDream Big+ photo generation
The 1K camera supports deliberate, owner-triggered experiences. Optional Dream creation can transform a photo when the owner chooses it.

Optional helper experiences have narrow, visible limits. Broader research, coding, and workspace actions remain in development.
Understand the agent pathThe surface
What ships for a developer on day one.
Five shipped families define Oneira's developer surface: Developer Mode on the device, MCP servers and custom APIs through the app, GitHub and Developer integration areas, and community apps for distributing finished work. Extending the device means wiring services you choose, not escaping a locked appliance.
One plain limit up front: SDK, programming-language, and toolchain details are not yet published, so this guide makes no claims about them. The families above are the published surface; the current documentation carries the specifics.
Your endpoints
Custom APIs and MCP servers, under your permissions.
Custom APIs mean the device can carry requests to endpoints you run — an internal service, a home server, a side project. MCP servers connect tools through a protocol boundary instead of one-off glue. In both cases the Oneira app is the wiring closet: it applies your permissions and routes only to services you deliberately configure.
No universal MCP compatibility is promised, and a service name is not an automatic live connection. Transport, authentication, and app support have to line up, which is the same discipline any integration work already demands.
The loop
Build it, use it daily, ship it.
Community apps turn a personal build into something other owners can install, which changes the economics of a weekend project: the audience is no longer one. The GitHub integration area keeps the repository side of that work inside the same pocket object, configured with your own account.
Agents follow the same ownership rule as everything else. An agent acts on a service only where you granted that ability, so a developer can wire consequential tools and still keep the blast radius chosen rather than discovered.

Questions, answered
The details that decide a purchase.
What is Developer Mode on Oneira?
It is the shipped capability family for building on the device, alongside community apps for sharing what you make. Feature specifics belong to the current documentation rather than this guide.
What SDK or language does Oneira use?
Not published. SDK, language, and toolchain details are not yet public, so no claim is made here — check the current documentation.
Can I point Oneira at my own API?
Custom APIs ship as a capability family. You configure the endpoints, accounts, and credentials, and the app routes requests only to services you deliberately set up.
Can an agent commit to my GitHub without asking?
An agent acts on a service only where you granted that ability. The GitHub integration area requires your own account and setup, and permissions stay yours to scope and revoke.
Is there a developer tier or fee?
No Oneira subscription is required for the core product. Third-party accounts, hosting, and services you connect carry their own terms and costs.
