Desk app
8rney Desk
A native desktop app that brings AI research, autonomous file management, and matter organisation to your Mac or Windows machine
8rney Desk is a native Electron application for macOS and Windows. It combines the full research and drafting capabilities of the web platform with Desk mode — an autonomous AI agent that works directly on your local file system, organised around your actual folders and matters.
What Desk adds#
Desk mode
An autonomous agent that reads, organises, and acts on files in folders you choose — with your approval at every step.
Research composer
The same cited research engine as the web app, available as a dedicated desktop window with full mode and jurisdiction controls.
Local matters
Create and browse matters tied to your local workspace. Link folders to matters for automatic context.
Artifacts
Live outputs — dashboards, trackers, chronologies — generated from your files and updated as the agent runs.
Installation#
Download the latest release from 8rney.com/desk. Desk is available as a .dmg for macOS and a .exe installer for Windows.
Sign in with your existing 8rney credentials. Your workspace, matters, and research history are shared with the web and mobile apps.
Desk requires local file-system access to function in Desk mode. You will be prompted to grant folder access when you add a workspace. No files leave your machine without your approval.
