    License

    LGPL 3.0

    Weak copyleft: changes to the licensed code itself must be shared when you distribute it, but code that merely uses it can stay under your own license.

    From the README

    Bring your own model. Open any local project. Let agents work — while you stay in control.

    No PI-Desktop account. No mandatory relay. No editor lock-in.

    A standalone desktop workspace for coding agents, projects, models, tools, and long-running sessions.

    Most coding agents live inside a terminal, an editor extension, or a hosted service.

    PI-Desktop gives them a workspace of their own.
