Desktop application
A local-first desktop workspace built around notes and tasks first.
Open any folder and Soup turns it into a workspace. All content stays as plain files. Nothing is synced to a server and no account is required.
Soup
Desktop application
Workspace
Soup treats any folder as a workspace and your content stays as plain files you already own. Nothing is uploaded and there is no central database.
Modules
The sidebar is module based. Notes and Tasks are on by default. Workspace adds a full file tree with editing, an integrated terminal, and code intelligence. Diagrams indexes standalone diagram files.
Notes and tasks
Notes is markdown first with live preview, wikilinks, backlinks, and a context pane. Tasks surfaces every checkbox in the workspace through list and board views.
AI, on your terms
The AI module is off by default. Opt in for a right-rail chat that understands your workspace, with a fully local mode that makes no network calls.
All content stays in plain files and nothing is synced to a server.
A right-rail chat with persistent threads, off until you enable it.
Multi-file edit proposals are staged for your review before anything changes.
A local note index gives the assistant context from your own workspace.
Runs with no sign-in and makes no network calls.
Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Embedded demo
A lightweight in-browser model of the desktop app. Switch modules in the sidebar, edit a note with live preview, and move tasks through Backlog, Active, and Done.
Soup workspace
Picked up [[release-plan]] again. The column layout works, but the WIP limit on Active is too tight.
Download the latest build and open any folder to get started.
