Example app

gpuicn Workspace is a small desktop app built from this catalog: projects, tasks, and notes, saved on your computer.

Checking the macOS download

macOS 12 or newer . Linux needs glibc 2.39 and a Vulkan driver.

What it does

Workspace keeps projects, tasks, and notes in a local file. There is no account and no network access. Local chat is a message log per project. It does not connect to other people and does not generate replies.

The macOS build is signed and notarized by the release workflow. The Linux builds are a preview and need testing.

Install

On macOS, unzip the download, move gpuicn Workspace to Applications, and open it.

On Linux, extract the archive and run ./gpuicn-workspace from its folder. The release page lists the Linux dependencies and checksums.
