Desktop tools
A few of our tools. On your machine.
This isn't the packaged Calliope AI Workbench — it's a handful of our tools shipped as standalone desktop apps. AI IDE, AI Lab, Chat Studio and DB Loadr. Free, local, bring your own keys. The same engines that run in the Workbench, on your laptop — no account, no cloud, no setup.
Not another fork
These aren't VS Code or Jupyter with a chatbot bolted on.
Every AI coding tool promises to "write code for you." Most are autocomplete on steroids — fine for tutorials, useless for production.
Calliope AI tools are different. Built for engineers who already know how to code, analysts who understand their data, professionals who need AI to remove friction — not replace judgment. We're not here to vibecode your startup. We're here to make serious work faster.
- Same experience, anywhere — desktop or web, the same interface. Your work comes with you.
- Runs fully local — offline-capable; use Ollama for completely private operation.
- Bring your own keys — your existing API subscriptions, no markup, full control of spend.
- Multi-model — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral, Ollama. Switch anytime.
- No account required — download, install, work. No sign-up, no trial clock.
- Free to use — upgrade to the Workbench when you need collaboration, governance or deployment.
Downloads
Pick a tool. Pick your platform.
Each app is a separate download. macOS builds are Apple Silicon; Windows and Linux are x64 and arm64.
Philosophy
Remove friction. Don't replace engineers.
Most AI tools try to replace developers. We think that's backwards.
The friction is real — setting up environments, context-switching between tools, writing boilerplate, remembering syntax you use once a month.
The work is yours — architectural decisions, business logic, data interpretation, quality judgment. We remove the friction so you can focus on the work that matters.
Need the whole thing, governed, for a team?
The Calliope AI Workbench runs all of these tools — plus agents, governance and audit — for your whole team, inside your own cloud. One login, one filesystem, one set of access logs.
