PANACHES Desktop

One workspace to create, code, read and organize.

Bring web, code, documents, notes, media and moodboards together in a local-first workspace. Ambre AI remains local, private and optional: enable it only when you need it.

Why PANACHES Desktop

Fewer scattered tools. More continuity across your projects.

PANACHES Desktop does more than replace one window with another: it brings together the activities that belong to the same project.

The problem

Web sources, files, notes, code and visual references often end up scattered across several applications. Every switch costs time and loses part of the context.

The PANACHES response

A local-first workspace where tools are already integrated, your files stay within reach and Ambre AI steps in only when it provides real help.

See how the workspace brings your work together.

Web, notes, documents, media, code, 3D and Ambre AI live in one desktop application. Move from a source to an idea, then from an idea to a deliverable without rebuilding your context.

Who it is for

One application, several ways to work.

PANACHES Desktop is designed for people who create, develop, research or organize complex content without scattering their environment.
