Share a Workflow

Made a workflow that saves you time? Someone else probably needs it too. Share it with a link, and anyone with the link can see what it does and install it on their own Mac in a couple of clicks.

They run it with their own accounts and keys. Yours never leave your Mac.

Share it with a link in about a minute

You need an Osaurus ID to publish. If you don't have one yet, the Share sheet tells you, and Open Identity Settings takes you there to set it up.

1. Click Workflows, the second icon on the narrow strip along the left edge of the window.
2. Click the … next to the workflow you want to share and choose Publish…. (You can also click Share… at the bottom of a workflow's page, or on the card that appears right after you save one.)
3. Choose Publish to store.osaurus.ai.
4. Under Who can see it, choose Unlisted. Only people you give the link to can open it.
5. Check the name and description under Listing Details. This is what people see first. You can also pick up to three Topics, like Writing or Productivity.
6. Optional: click Add Example Runs… and pick a run or two, so people can see what it makes. Under each one, What leaves this Mac shows exactly what will be shown.
7. Read What everyone will see, then click Publish. Your Mac may ask for Touch ID or your password to sign it with your Osaurus ID.
8. A sheet appears saying your workflow is live. Click the copy button next to the link.

Done. Your workflow has its own page on store.osaurus.ai, and the link is on your clipboard.

Send it anywhere

Paste the link wherever you talk to people:

• In a message or email to a friend or colleague who does the same task.
• In your team chat, so everyone stops doing it by hand.
• In a post, with the share card. The live sheet has a ready-made image of your workflow with its name, a short summary and a QR code. Use Copy Image, Save Image…, or Share… to post it.
• In person: let them scan the QR code with their phone.

Some ideas: share Email Reply tuned to your company's tone with your support team. Send a meeting-notes workflow to everyone who takes notes in your weekly meeting. Post the workflow that writes your weekly update, so others can try it.

Is this safe?

Yes. Sharing a workflow shares the recipe, not your data.

Never shared:

• Your keys, passwords and account sign-ins
• The answers you've typed into its forms
• Your files, and where they are on your Mac
• Your past runs (unless you add one as an example)

What people can see on the page, so they know exactly what they're installing:

• Every step it takes, and the full text of any code
• The websites it contacts
• The names of any keys it needs (never the values)
• The tools and models it uses

Example runs are only shown if you add them. Before publishing, you see exactly what each one shows, and any secret answers and file locations are removed. Pictures are saved again without their location or camera details.

Nothing installs without a review. When someone opens your link, Osaurus shows them every step before anything is added to their Mac. They set it up with their own models and keys.

It's signed with your Osaurus ID, so people can tell it really came from you. If anyone changes the file, it no longer shows as yours.

You can take it down at any time. See Take it down below.

Who can see it

Choice	Who can open it	When it's live
Unlisted	Only people with the link	Right away
Public	Anyone. It's listed on store.osaurus.ai and on your author page	The link works right away; the listing appears after the Osaurus team approves it
Password	People with the link and a password you choose (6 to 128 characters)	Right away
Workspace	Members of up to 20 workspaces you choose	Right away

Not sure? Start with Unlisted. You can change who can see it later, at any time.

Get listed on store.osaurus.ai

Choose Public to let anyone find your workflow by browsing or searching store.osaurus.ai.

1. Follow the steps above, but choose Public under Who can see it.
2. The button now reads Submit for Review. Click it.
3. Your link works straight away, so you can start sharing it. Until the Osaurus team approves it, the page says Unlisted until approved.

Once it's approved, it shows up in the store. Updates to a Public workflow are reviewed too. Your link keeps working while they are.

What people see when they open your link

1. Your link opens the workflow's page on store.osaurus.ai: what it does, its steps, and any example runs.
2. They click Install workflow. Osaurus opens on their Mac. (They'll need Osaurus installed.)
3. Osaurus shows a review: every step, any code, the websites it contacts, the keys it needs, and whether it's signed by you.
4. They go through setup: pick their models, add their own keys, and give any permissions it needs. Anything they skip leaves it marked Needs setup until they finish.
5. It's ready to run on their Mac.

For safety, Osaurus only installs from links to store.osaurus.ai.

Share as a file instead

Prefer not to publish a page? Save the workflow as a file and send it however you like, by email, AirDrop or a shared folder. No Osaurus ID or account needed.

1. Click the … next to the workflow and choose Save as File… (or click Share… and choose Save as a file).
2. Choose your options:
   • Suggest the models I use: tells the other person which models worked for you.
   • Include how to connect my MCP servers: tells them how to connect the same outside services (MCP servers) your workflow uses. It includes the names of any keys, never the keys themselves.
   • Sign with my Osaurus ID: shows the file came from you.
3. Check What they'll review, then click Save….

The file ends in .osaurustemplate. To install one, the other person clicks Import on their Workflows page, or drags the file onto it. They see the same review and setup as with a link.

Manage a published workflow

Click the Live badge on a workflow (or Manage Published… in its … menu) to open its dashboard. There you can:

• See how many people installed it (Installs), its Version, and when it was Published.
• Change Who can see it, then click Save.
• Edit the name, description, Topics and Example Runs, then click Save Listing.
• Copy the link again, or Open Page.

Publish an update

Improved your workflow? Save the changes as usual. The dashboard then shows On this Mac, not published and a button like Publish v2 (or Submit v2 for Review if it's Public). Click it, and everyone who opens the link gets the new version. People who already installed it see an Update to v2 chip on their workflow.

Take it down

Click Take Down… on the dashboard. The page stops working for everyone. People who already installed it keep their copy.

Changed your mind? Publish Again brings the page back at the same link.

Share with your team

If you're in a workspace, there are two different ways to share:

• Give them their own copy. Choose Workspace under Who can see it. Members find it under Workflows → Workspaces and click Install. It runs on their Mac with their own keys and models.
• Let them run yours. Turn on Teammates can run this under Who Can Start It on the workflow's page. A teammate's agent can then start it, but it runs on your Mac with your keys and folders, and Osaurus asks you each time. Your Mac needs to be on for it to work.

Troubleshooting

It says "Needs an Osaurus ID"

Publishing signs the page with your Osaurus ID. Click Open Identity Settings, set up your Osaurus ID, then try again. Or choose Save as a file, which doesn't need one.

It says "Published as Unlisted"

Your workflow went live, but the password or the workspace sharing didn't save. It's Unlisted for now. Click Try Again.

Someone says the link won't install

• Make sure they have Osaurus on a Mac.
• If they see "Osaurus installs template links from store.osaurus.ai only", the link they used isn't the store link. Send them the link from your dashboard.
• If they see "This template is shared with a workspace you're not a member of", it's set to Workspace. Add them to the workspace, or change it to Unlisted.

It says "Removed from store.osaurus.ai"

The Osaurus team took the page down, and it can't be published again from your Mac.

Under the hood

• Hostnames: pages live on https://store.osaurus.ai (workflows under /w/, agent templates under /a/). The registry API is https://api.store.osaurus.ai.
• Install link: Install workflow is an osaurus://templates-import?url=… link. Osaurus accepts only template files hosted on the registry. A file from a link always goes through review and setup; it's never added and runnable in one step. Advanced details on the live sheet shows the Install Link, Template File URL and Registry ID.
• Visibility values: Unlisted is stored as hidden in the registry. A new Public submission starts unlisted and is listed once a version is approved. Unlisted, Password and Workspace skip review. If a password or workspace share fails after the upload, the page stays up as Unlisted.
• Signing: publishing always signs with your master key. One authentication prompt covers the file and the upload. Once a library version is signed, newer versions must be signed by the same ID. An edited file reads as unsigned; Signature does not match can't be imported.
• What's in a template: the steps, their schemas, model slots, secret names, MCP servers, plugins, tools, permissions and dependencies. Stripped from every export: secret values, saved answers, install bindings, run history and absolute paths. Anything that looks like a key in MCP connection hints becomes YOUR_KEY. Your own tags aren't exported.
• Install receipts: after someone installs, Osaurus sends a receipt signed with their Osaurus ID (POST /workflows/:id/installs). The registry counts one install per workflow per Osaurus ID. Without an Osaurus ID, no receipt is sent.
• Share card: a 1200×630 image with the name, summary, @handle, link and QR code.
• Workspace sharing vs hosted runs: workspace visibility shares a template that members install. Teammates can run this shares no template; a teammate's link appears under All → On teammates' Macs and each call goes through Require Approval for Teammate Tool Calls.
• Agent templates publish the same way. See Agent Templates.
