Scient Desktop

Scient is a local-first desktop workspace for working with the AI agents and subscriptions you already use.

It brings chats, terminals, browser previews, diffs, branches, provider sessions, and handoffs into one focused workspace so you can run agent work without juggling a dozen windows.

What it does

• Use the AI accounts you already pay for: Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, Cursor, Grok, Kilo Code, and Pi.
• Run parallel work across projects, threads, and isolated Git worktrees without branches stepping on each other.
• Keep split chats, terminals, browser previews, and agent output visible in the same window.
• Hand off a thread to another provider when you want a second model to pick up with the same context.
• Review diffs, create branches, commit, push, and open PRs from the app.
• Keep your workspace local. Scient stores chats, projects, and history on your machine and talks directly to the providers you choose.

How to use

Warning

You need to have Codex CLI installed and authorized for Codex sessions to work.

Install the desktop app from the Scient releases page, or visit scientfactory.com.

You can also run Scient locally while the project is still early:

bun install
bun run dev

Privacy

Scient runs as the workspace layer on your machine. There is no Scient cloud holding your repositories, chats, or project history.

The provider you choose still receives the prompts, file snippets, diffs, terminal output, or tool results needed for a session, but that traffic goes to the provider you picked rather than through a separate Scient-hosted workspace.

Some notes

Scient is still very early. Expect bugs, rough edges, and fast-moving internals.

Focused issues and PRs are welcome, especially bug fixes, reliability fixes, and small maintenance improvements.
