Where does the shared context and memory live, and can you inspect or wipe it per app?

Hello! Have gone through the website, n love the no sign up feature. Not a believer in giving my desktop access to AI(even partially), want to understand the guardrails of the AI in terms of accessing the system n the data in it.

the shared memory across apps sounds useful but also a little scary. if one app pulls in a bunch of work context and another is personal stuff, can you scope what each app can see or is it one big pool?

I love this! The first thing I am going to do is build a grocery calculator for me and my roommates! <3

Congrats on the launch, looks like a cool idea! I'm currently planning an app launch myself and ticking off hundreds of tasks across 12+ weeks. A small Wandesk app that holds the checklist, tracks status, lets me add notes per task, and surfaces what's overdue could be genuinely better than what I'm using now (a Notion page!) Will take it for a spin.

the positioning sits in an interesting gap between something like Raycast AI and a full local IDE. curious who your early users actually are because i can picture two very different people finding this useful. one is a developer who wants a faster way to prototype throwaway tools without spinning up a project. the other is a non-technical person who genuinely can't code and needs something that works end to end without touching a terminal. those two users need pretty different things from the same product

@realuckyang I like the natural language angle here, especially if the output stays editable and understandable. The hard part is not just generating the first version, but helping users keep control once the project grows.

The "local, free, no signup" part is what I actually care about here, since most of these tools quietly require a cloud account the moment you want to save anything. Very cool pros

What model is running the generation locally, and how far does a mid-range machine get before output quality starts to drop? Also curious what "describe any app" means in practice when the description is vague or contradicts itself.

Hello everyone 👋

Excited to share Wandesk.

Wandesk is built around a simple but often overlooked idea: AI shouldn’t live only inside a chat box.
For many people—especially those who don’t write code every day—software is much easier to understand and use when it actually takes shape. It should have windows, panels, notebooks, boards, and files—not just repeated prompts and results buried in a long chat history.

Wandesk is a graphical AI desktop 🖥️
You can start with an idea, turn it into a usable app, and keep using, modifying, and managing it in the same workspace.

More importantly, Wandesk aims to make AI-generated software not just something that gets “generated,” but something that can truly stay, be organized, and continue serving your daily work and life.

• Your apps don’t disappear into prompts ✨ — They stay on your desktop as real tools that you can reopen, reuse, and keep improving.

• Different kinds of work stay in their proper place 🗂️ — Notes, ledgers, boards, and files can live side by side instead of being piled into one endless conversation.

• AI works across the entire workspace 🤝 — Apps can share context, remember preferences, and help with more continuous, real-world tasks.

• It’s built for personal software 🛠️ — Whether it’s small utilities, internal tools, personal projects, mini games, or quirky but useful workflows, they can all be created more easily.

• You stay in control 🔓 — Wandesk is open source and free, so you can inspect it, use it, and adapt it to your own needs.

AI is making software creation easier than ever, but it can also make things messy very quickly.
If everyone can generate tools, then people also need a clearer and more stable way to hold, organize, and manage what they create. That’s the layer Wandesk wants to provide: making AI-generated software something truly usable, sustainable, and within your control.
