PANACHES Desktop is designed to keep files, notes and sources in your environment.
Download
Install PANACHES Desktop and shape your local workshop.
PANACHES Desktop is available for Windows and Linux. The macOS version is still announced with caution until it is validated.
Before downloading
What you are really installing.
PANACHES Desktop is the local workshop. The website provides documentation, resources and the community.
Secure payment
Paid plans go through Stripe, then a license key lets you activate the app.
Simple trial
The 7-day trial starts inside PANACHES Desktop without a bank card on first launch.
Installation and comfort
Prepare your workspace.
PANACHES brings together documents, web, code, media and optional local AI. Comfort mostly depends on the size of your projects, the media you open and the model you choose if you enable AI.
Workspace
Plan for comfortable disk space for your projects, captures, documents, media and resources.
Local AI
Amber AI is off by default. You can use PANACHES without AI, download the recommended model from the app or choose your own compatible models.
Creative modules
PDF, images, video, 3D, browser and editor modules can be opened as needed, without launching the whole workshop at once.
Comfort tips
- Start with a simple project, then add the useful modules step by step.
- Keep your sources organized by folder to find documents, notes and media faster.
- If Amber AI responds too slowly, choose a lighter model, reduce the number of open sources or keep AI features disabled.

Quick questions about the Windows warning
Why does Windows show a warning when installing Panaches?
Windows may show a Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warning when an application is recent, independent or not yet widely known by Microsoft’s reputation systems. If you downloaded Panaches from the official panaches.app website, you can open “More info”, then choose “Run anyway”.
Is Panaches blocked because it contains a virus?
No, this warning does not automatically mean that Panaches contains a virus. It mainly indicates that Windows does not yet recognize the application or its installer enough. For safety, always download Panaches from the official panaches.app website.
What should I do if Windows blocks the Panaches installation?
In the Microsoft Defender SmartScreen window, click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. If these options do not appear, check that you downloaded Panaches from the official website and that your Windows session allows application installation.
Why can this warning appear on a new Windows PC?
On a new PC, Windows can be stricter with applications that are not widely known or were recently downloaded. Because Panaches is a recent independent application, the warning may appear during early installations.
