Pi — A cross-platform AI coding agent, bringing the Claude Code experience to your desktop. No environment setup, no terminal commands. Download and start coding right away.

What it solves

Pi Agent Desktop provides a standalone, installable application for macOS, Windows, and Linux that brings the capabilities of the Pi AI agent to the desktop. It eliminates the need for users to manually manage terminal histories, .jsonl files, or separate Node.js installations to interact with the agent.

How it works

The app packages the Pi SDK, a Next.js server, and the Node.js runtime into a single bundle using Tauri. It reads Pi's local data directory to manage sessions and allows users to interact with the agent through a native desktop window. It includes a built-in update system that synchronizes the desktop app with the core pi and pi-web components to ensure version consistency.

Who it’s for

Developers and users who want a dedicated desktop interface for the Pi AI agent with features like session branching, project file browsing, and integrated model management without relying on a CLI or web browser.

Highlights

  • Session Management: Browse, resume, branch, or fork past AI sessions organized by project.
  • Real-time Visibility: View thinking processes, tool calls, context usage, and costs directly in the chat window.
  • Integrated Development Tools: Switch Git worktrees from the sidebar and preview source code, diffs, and various file formats (PDF, DOCX, etc.).
  • Simplified Setup: Bundles all necessary runtimes, requiring no separate Node.js or terminal setup.
  • Automatic Updates: Weekly checks for stable releases with a one-click upgrade process.
