Quickstart

Your first 15 minutes in Lorah.

Set up one key, open a workspace, run a real question through your AI team, and approve the memory worth keeping.

Installing Lorah

  1. Download Lorah from our website.
  2. Open Lorah-arm64.dmg (Apple silicon) or Lorah-x64.dmg (Intel) from your Downloads folder.
  3. Drag the Lorah icon into your Applications folder.

Lorah is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized; macOS names Yoram Golandsky as the developer. If macOS still blocks it, download again from lorah.ai or the Releases page and email support@lorah.ai. Don’t switch off Gatekeeper for it.

When you double-click the .dmg, this window opens. Drag the Lorah icon onto Applications.

  1. Download Lorah from our website.
  2. Open Lorah.Setup.exe from your Downloads folder.
  3. The Lorah installer should run.

The installer is signed; the User Account Control prompt names Yoram Golandsky as the publisher. A brand-new build can still show a SmartScreen reputation notice for a while. Check the publisher name; if it isn’t Yoram Golandsky, don’t install, and email support@lorah.ai.

System Requirements
  • macOS 12 or later (Apple silicon or Intel)
  • Windows 10 or later (x64)
What you need
  1. The installer, from this site or the GitHub Releases page. No invite, no code.
  2. Nothing else to start: the first 14 days are Pro, then Free.
  3. One API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity or xAI, or a local model through Ollama or LM Studio. Model usage is billed by the provider.
  4. Optional: the beta program, 90 days of Pro and 180 after a feedback check-in. Never required.

No invite needed — you’re in.

Lorah is free. No account, no credit card, no waitlist. Once it’s installed and you’ve added an API key from a provider you use — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, or xAI (Grok) — you’re running.

Your first 14 days include full Pro, every feature unlocked. After that Lorah stays free on the Free tier (unlimited teammates with 3 active at a time, 50 memory items, 2 workspaces) — nothing is deleted, and you can upgrade anytime.

Ready for Pro?

Upgrade and manage your plan inside the app: Settings → License & Billing. Checkout and the billing portal open in your browser and land you back in Lorah.

Add your first key

When you first open Lorah, onboarding walks you through this. Pick one provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity, or xAI (Grok) — paste the key, done. Your key stays on your machine.

Onboarding walks you through providers, project context, and your starting team.

Open a starter workspace

Also part of onboarding. Lorah ships with starter workspaces — Personal Board of Directors, CISO AI Risk Operating Room, and more. Pick one and you land in a room that's already set up with teammates and starter memory. Or Build with Lorah AI to design your own team in a chat.

Each starter workspace ships with a ready-made team and starter memory. Rename, add, or remove anyone after.

Run your first room

Now you're on your own. Open Rooms, pick two or more teammates, and ask them a real question — one you're actually working on this week, not a toy example. Everyone answers side by side. This is where Lorah stops feeling like an app and starts feeling like a team.

Prompts to try first:

  • “Debate the strongest and weakest parts of this plan.”
  • “What am I missing?”
  • “Research the facts, then have the critic challenge the conclusion.”
  • “Turn this into a decision memo after the team argues it through.”

Prefer a simple start?

Open any teammate 1:1 and chat. Ask them to draft something in their area, or what they think is missing from the project context. The important part is using real work, not a toy example.

Approve & come back

Something useful will come out of your first room. Open the Review Queue and approve one memory candidate — a fact, a decision, a term. That entry becomes part of the project's shared brain.

Close Lorah. Open it tomorrow. The team remembers what you approved, and the next conversation starts from context — not from scratch.

Things to know

Local-first
Your workspace data lives on your machine. The only outbound calls are the provider calls you configure with your own API keys.
Cost visibility is built in
Every reply carries a cost. A monthly workspace budget warns at 80% and pauses at 100%.
First extraction can take a minute
When Lorah proposes memory from a session, it may take 30–60 seconds. That is normal. Nothing becomes shared memory until you approve it.

Next steps

Once you've found your way around, a few places to go from here.
