Desktop clients coming soon
Episeed.
Learn deeply.
Write thoughtfully.
Discover faster. Connect ideas. Write in your own words.
A local-first workspace with AI as an assistant, not a substitute for thinking.
Your desktop. Your files. With or without AI.
A place for the whole processActual desktop app ยท Sample workspace
Local files. Offline work.
Make the learning yours
AI is optional. You lead.
For students and curious minds
Less friction. More thinking.
A quick answer can end a question too soon. Find what you need, explore the connections and turn it into understanding of your own.
Make the learning yours.
Read the source, explain it in your own words and connect it to what you already know. Ask AI for another perspective only when it helps.
Desktop development preview with sample content.
Build a connected knowledge hub.
Bring notes, sources, tags and connections together in Knowledge. Turn an open question into a task and keep each next step linked to the note it came from.
Write to understand.
Put ideas into your own words, follow a thread into a draft and keep the sources close. AI can help you question or refine your work; the thinking stays yours.
Local-first, by design
Your work has
a home. Yours.
Choose a folder, not a hosted workspace. Your files, notes, connections and tasks live on your computer.
Local work. No hosted copy needed.
Read, take notes, make connections and track tasks offline. The website does not host your workspace or automatically upload your files.
Your choice of assistant. Or none.
Use Episeed without AI, run a local model on your device or connect a cloud provider with your own API key. Cloud AI processes the context you approve sending.
No tracking. No workspace uploads.
This coming-soon site has no analytics, tracking cookies, signup or waitlist. Our hosting provider may process technical request data to deliver and secure the site. Read the privacy notice.
A little more time. A lot of curiosity.
Your next workspace
is on its way.
We are preparing the Episeed desktop clients. Check back in about two weeks, around , for an update.
Desktop clients are coming soon.
Download for WindowsNo signup needed. Just come back to episeed.app. This is a development update, not a guaranteed release date; availability may vary by platform.
A few things worth knowing
Good questions.
When can I try the desktop app?
The desktop clients are coming soon. Check back around 21 October 2026 for a development update. Public downloads and managed AI access are not available yet.
Is Episeed a website or a desktop app?
Episeed is an installed desktop app in development. This site introduces the workspace and will provide release information when the clients are ready. Your study, research and writing happen on your computer.
Can I use Episeed without AI?
Yes. Reading, notes, connections, references, tasks and writing do not require AI. An assistant is there when you want another perspective, not a condition of using your workspace.
How does Episeed support learning rather than replace it?
Handing every question to AI can mean skipping the thinking that helps you learn. Episeed is built around reading sources, writing your own notes, connecting ideas and choosing the next question. Use an assistant to explain, challenge or refine, then check the source and decide what you understand.
Can I work without an internet connection?
Your core workspace works offline. A local model can run on your device once installed. Online discovery, cloud AI and managed services need internet access; none is required to keep working with your local notes and files.
Does AI change my documents automatically?
Document changes are reviewed before being applied. Research findings and citations still need your judgment and source checking.
What happens to context I share with cloud AI?
Approved context is processed by the selected provider and, for managed access, our API. Provider retention and data-processing terms must be reviewed before sharing sensitive or unpublished work. Local-first does not mean every AI request stays local.
Is managed AI access already public?
Not yet. Managed search and AI are being prepared for a restricted pilot, with account permissions and usage limits. Downloading the app does not grant managed-service access.
