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.
Code
Calliope AI IDE
A VS Code-based IDE built for serious work.
Five operating modes, 9+ LLM providers, autonomous background agents, and Council mode for multi-agent deliberation — every AI edit staged for human review. Telemetry off by default; point it at local models for fully air-gapped work.

Calliope AI Lab
JupyterLab, rebuilt around an AI copilot.
The full data-science stack on your machine — 300+ packages, notebooks, code assist, and agents. Ask in plain English, get the query and the chart. Multi-model, BYOK, and it runs entirely offline with Ollama when you need it.

Chat Studio
A governed chat workbench for every model you use.
One place to talk to Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral or a local model — compare answers, save prompts, and keep the conversation on your machine. Bring your own keys; no markup, no data leaving your laptop.

DB Loadr
Move data between any database, fast.
A desktop tool for loading, migrating and inspecting data across 22+ connectors — SQL, NoSQL and warehouses. Preview, transform and ship up to 10GB without standing up a pipeline. Credentials stay local.

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.
