Desktop overview
Timeline, file tree, browser, document surfaces, and an embedded terminal — one window, working with the agent.
The desktop app puts everything the CLI can do into a graphical workspace: the session list, the agent timeline, and a side panel with files, code, terminal, Git and previews.
Main areas
- Left — session list, projects and skills
- Center — agent timeline + input box
- Side panel — files, code viewing and editing, terminal, Git and diffs, plus browser, spreadsheet, Word, PowerPoint and PDF previews that the agent reads and writes directly
- Settings — five groups: Account / Preferences / Agent / Models / Connections & system

Relationship to the mobile app
The desktop app can sync sessions with the mobile app (currently Android only) in two ways: direct LAN connection and cloud relay. See Multi-device sync.
