Overview of pi-agent-desktop

What it is

Pi Agent Desktop is a local AI agent desktop app for macOS and Windows. It packages the agent capabilities of Pi into a standalone, installable application, bringing the Claude Code experience to your desktop without environment setup or terminal commands.

Key features

• Browse and resume past Pi sessions by project, without digging through terminal history or .jsonl files.
• Talk to the agent in real time inside a desktop window, with thinking, tool calls, context usage, cost, and compaction state all visible.
• Continue from any earlier message as a branch, or fork the conversation into an independent session.
• Manage models, OAuth/API keys, custom model configuration, skills, and plugins.
• Switch Git worktrees from the sidebar and browse project files.
• Scheduled tasks: run a saved prompt in a new session on a schedule (hourly, daily, weekly, a custom cron expression, or once).
• Preview source code, diffs, Markdown, images, audio, PDF, and DOCX files.

Use cases

AI-powered coding assistance, project session management, automated scheduled tasks, code review, and file preview within a desktop application.
