Codex and Claude are broad agent platforms with connected tools, parallel workflows, and expanding product ecosystems. That breadth is valuable when you want the full experience of a single vendor. pi-work makes a different tradeoff: it keeps the desktop layer focused and puts the essential loop first — choose a project, describe the outcome, and review the work.
- Simple by default. Chat, Work, Skills, Extensions, and Schedule are easy to find without turning the app into a dashboard.
- Lightweight by design. A native SwiftUI interface, restrained chrome, and progressive disclosure keep the product small in scope and easy to navigate.
- Built to stay responsive. Agent execution sits behind a quiet, focused interface instead of filling the screen with permanent panels and controls.
- Open model choice. Connect any provider supported by pi rather than tying your desktop workflow to one model vendor.
pi-work gives pi coding agent a native Mac interface. Start a casual conversation, or connect a local project folder and let pi work inside a clear workspace, Git branch, and access boundary.
- Chat and Work keep everyday conversations separate from project tasks while preserving the context of every session.
- Your choice of models lets you connect OAuth or API key providers supported by pi, then choose a model and thinking effort for each session.
- Skills and Extensions make it easy to discover, install, and manage capabilities from the open pi ecosystem.
- Schedule automates recurring work and keeps every run in view. Scheduled tasks run while pi-work is open.
- Made for macOS with light, dark, and system appearances, plus English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish interfaces.
pi-work requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.

Important
Current builds are ad-hoc signed and are not notarized by Apple. On first launch, macOS may say it cannot verify the developer. In Finder, open Applications, Control-click PiWork, choose Open, then confirm once more. Only download pi-work from this repository's Releases page.
Browse Skills and Extensions without leaving the app. Search or filter the catalogs, find the capability you need, and install it directly into pi-work's isolated environment. Your terminal pi configuration is left untouched.
- Choose Chat for a conversation without a project, or choose Work to connect a local project folder.
- Select a model, thinking effort, and access level.
- Describe the outcome you want. pi-work keeps tool calls, execution progress, and approval requests together in the same session.
