Jobs it does today
Six templates ship in the app. Each asks a few setup questions, says plainly what it will not do, and leaves schedules off until you tick them on. Or describe a job in your own words.
Drafts one useful article a day for your site (or LinkedIn, Medium or a newsletter if you have no site yet), checks how you show up in search, and can open the post as a pull request for you to approve. Never publishes by itself.
Keeps a ledger from the invoices and receipts you share, tells you what is due, and drafts polite reminders you approve. It never pays, files or sends anything on its own.
Looks things up on the web and in your files and writes a short brief with a link to every source. Says when sources disagree instead of guessing.
Tracks your applications, tailors your CV and cover letter to each role from what is true, and reminds you to follow up. You send everything yourself.
Turns your syllabus and exam dates into a daily plan and quizzes you from your own notes, citing the file for each answer.
Turns your posts, news and wins into ready-to-copy drafts for LinkedIn and X, in your voice. Drafts only: you copy and post.
Money is never moved on its own. Agents keep working in the background while the app is open and your computer is on.
Asks before it acts
Pivra Desk sorts every action by what it could do. The more it could change, the more it asks of you.
Runs on its own. Looking things up never needs a click.
Waits for your approval on a card that shows exactly what will happen.
Critical. Needs Touch ID on a Mac, or a typed phrase. Never on its own.
Want stricter limits? Write your own rules in plain words; a “never” rule stops the action at once. How the safety model works
Agents, chats, memory, files and sign-ins live in a local database on your machine. Keys and logins are sealed in a vault whose key sits in your Mac’s keychain. Pivra does not receive them.
Run a model fully on your computer with no account, or bring your own key for Anthropic, OpenAI or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. With your own key, requests go from your computer to that provider, not through Pivra.
Reading and searching just happen. Anything that sends, pays, publishes or changes something waits for your yes on a card that shows exactly what will happen. Money, deletes and deploys need Touch ID or a typed phrase.
On a Mac, commands run in the operating system’s own sandbox: no home folders, writes only to their own folder, network only as you allow. On Windows they use Docker for now.
Your model, your choice
Pivra Desk is not tied to one model. Start fully on your computer and switch when a job needs more.
Offline mode runs Gemma 4 (E2B, E4B or 12B) or a small Qwen model through llama.cpp on your own machine. No key, no account. Model files download from Hugging Face and are checked against a pinned checksum before use.
Best for reading, summaries and short tasks. Picks a size that fits the memory you have free.
Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including Ollama, LM Studio or vLLM on your network. Requests go straight from your computer to that provider.
Best for long, multi-step work.
Coming soon: Plus, with cloud model credits included so you can start without a key of your own.
For people who want a cloud model without setting up a provider account.
How it works
Free, for Mac (Apple silicon) and Windows. Start from a template or describe the job in plain words. The agent asks a few setup questions and gets to work.
Point it at folders, your calendar and the apps you use. On Plus, Google and GitHub connect in one click. Schedules stay off until you tick them on.
Routines run in the background while your computer is on. Sends, payments and publishes wait on an approval card. Money is never moved on its own.
Two products, one platform
The same idea underneath: private by default, and you stay in charge of anything that leaves your hands.

What we believe
Your agent, its memory, your files and your sign-ins live on your computer. Anything that leaves it is something you turned on, where you can see it.
A model’s output is a proposal. Rules, permissions and your approvals decide whether it runs. No web page, email or clever prompt can grant itself authority.
A lapsed plan turns paid features off; it never locks you out of your own data. No agent moves money on its own.
These are the principles Pivra Desk is built against, written down in its architecture record. We would rather say what it does not do than oversell what it does.
