Wandesk

Wandesk is an AI desktop environment where users can create the software applications they need simply by describing them in natural language. Its main purpose is to provide a persistent, local workspace where AI-generated applications have shape and stay, moving beyond the limitations of conversational AI interfaces for tasks that require structure and continuity. Key features include the ability to build apps through natural language description, support for plugging in various AI models (Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Kimi, Qwen, or any OpenAI-compatible service), and shared context across all applications within the workspace. The AI maintains memory of user preferences and context that carries across every app, and all data, files, and memory are stored locally on the user's machine. The platform requires no signup or account creation and is available as a free, open-source product. The platform operates with an iterative approach to app creation: users describe their needs, the AI makes reasonable assumptions to build a first version, and then users can refine the app through chat-based corrections and adjustments. Every generated app has a clear, layered structure with UI, logic, and data components, plus an APP.md file that the AI reads before making changes to maintain scoped edits rather than complete rewrites. Applications are real, editable files that users can modify manually or have the AI adjust specific parts. Benefits include the ability to prototype useful local tools quickly without starting full development projects, complete data privacy since everything remains on the user's device, and no cloud lock-in or subscription requirements. Use cases mentioned include creating calorie trackers, reading lists, invoice generators, bill splitters, productivity trackers that reflect tasks across different categories, and fitness trackers that can share context with other applications. The product targets both developers who want to prototype throwaway tools without spinning up full projects and non-technical users who need functional applications without touching code or terminals. It's built with technologies including Tauri and Figma, runs on macOS and Windows platforms, and can integrate with MCP (Model Context Protocol) when needing to reach external services. The workspace stores data in per-app SQLite databases and memory in a shared memories table within the local application support folder.
