Persistent Desklets
Workspaces that keep conversations, tasks and saved memory together. Background agents and file understanding are on the roadmap.
Desklet · personal AI desktop
A calm desktop for your AI life.
Desklet turns AI from an endless chat window into a workspace. Persistent Desklets keep your conversations, tasks and saved memory together — so the work continues instead of starting over. Background agents and file understanding are coming later.
Desklet is free in early access. AI model usage is charged separately by your provider.
Your models, your keys
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter. Keys are encrypted on the server and never returned to the browser.
Quiet by design
Editorial typography, warm paper tones and no notification theatre. The work stays in front of you, not the interface.
Inside Desklet
A home for the work in progress
Keep projects, notes, conversations and next steps together on one desk.
How it works
Three steps, then it keeps going
No setup ceremony. Open a workspace, give it your material, and it stays useful every time you come back.
- 01
Open a Desklet
Start a workspace for a project, a client, a research thread or a side business. It stays put and keeps its own context.
- 02
Give it your material
Keep reference notes and workspace memory together. File understanding and link ingestion are planned for a later iteration.
- 03
Work with it, not at it
Chat with saved memory and track tasks beside your project. Background agents are planned, not running yet.
Use cases
What people build on their desk
One Desklet per project, client or part of your life. Here is how that plays out in practice.
Founders and operators
Run the business from one desk
Keep investor updates, pricing experiments, hiring notes and metrics in a single Desklet that already knows your company.
- Draft updates in your own voice
- Track open decisions
- Stop re-explaining context
Researchers and analysts
A workspace that remembers the literature
Keep research notes and saved memory together, then continue the conversation with that context. Document understanding is planned.
- One space per topic
- Durable findings
- Context-aware chat
Writers and studios
Keep a long project coherent
Keep style rules, character notes and outlines in memory alongside your writing conversations, so each session can pick up the thread.
- Consistent voice
- Outline to draft
- No context resets
Consultants and freelancers
One Desklet per client
Keep conversations, tasks and memory separate per engagement. Switch clients without losing the thread.
- Clean separation
- Reusable briefs
- Faster handovers
Engineers
A thinking space beside the IDE
Save architecture notes and decisions in workspace memory to carry context into your next chat. File understanding is planned.
- Design reviews
- Incident write-ups
- Reference recall
Everyone else
Personal admin, finally organised
Travel plans, home projects, applications and family logistics — each one a small, calm Desklet you can return to.
- Plans that persist
- Checklists that stay
- Zero setup
Capabilities
Available today, and what is coming
We label everything honestly. Nothing marked available is a mock-up, and nothing coming soon pretends to run yet.
Desklet workspaces
Available nowPersistent workspaces with overview, chat, files, agents, tasks and memory in one view.
Multi-model chat
Available nowRoute any conversation to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter models through one interface.
Bring your own keys
Available nowProvider keys are encrypted at rest server-side, masked in the UI, and never exposed to the browser.
Durable memory
Available nowFacts you record are injected into every conversation in that Desklet, so context survives the session.
File library
In betaA workspace file list is visible today; uploading and using file contents in chat are planned.
Command palette
Available nowJump between Desklets and actions with ⌘K, without ever reaching for the mouse.
Task tracking
In betaLightweight tasks attached to the workspace they belong to, visible next to the work itself.
Autonomous agents
Coming soonLong-running workers that research, monitor and draft in the background, then report back to the Desklet.
Scheduled automations
Coming soonRecurring routines — morning briefs, weekly digests, watchlists — that run on their own schedule.
Connections
Coming soonGoogle Drive, Notion, GitHub, Gmail and Calendar as first-class sources inside a Desklet.
Cloud computer
Coming soonA sandboxed environment where agents run code, transform files and produce real artefacts.
Semantic search
Coming soonSearch meaning across every Desklet, file and conversation you own, not just exact words.
