A complete office suite that runs on your machine: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, Markdown and HTML — with an AI panel that edits the document itself, using the model and the key you choose.
Real screenshot, v0.12.0
120 themes · 17+ AI providers
Six real editors share one AI panel, one local search index and one theme system. No conversion layer, no cloud round-trip — every screenshot below is the shipped Windows build.
Word documents open with their real layout — columns, headers, footnotes, shaded tables, floating images and pagination on Word's own line metrics.
Values, formulas, formats, pivots and charts survive a save because nothing is flattened into a picture. A cell stays a formula.
Design on a real slide canvas with masters, layouts, guides and non-destructive cropping — then hand PowerPoint a file it recognises.
PDFium rewrites the content stream with the original fonts, so text you retype really is the page's text.
A Tiptap block editor that writes straight back to plain .md — headings, lists, tables, code, Mermaid diagrams and KaTeX math.
Describe the page and the audience; the AI proposes a design brief — hook, palette, typography — then builds one self-contained file.
Recent files, every editor and the search index live on one calm screen. No dashboard, no sign-in, no news feed — and nothing to configure.
Everything below is part of the same install — no add-ons, no account tier, and no feature that quietly requires a server.
No account, no vendor proxy, no shared key. Every request goes directly from this machine to the provider you configured — and the app works fully without ever sending one.
Pick a model, paste a key, and the same panel works in all six editors. It reads the open document's blocks — not a screenshot — so edits can land as tracked changes you can roll back.
Install a recommended SKILL.md — weekly report, NDA, lesson plan, meeting minutes — or import your own. Nothing runs until you send it, and the result lands in the editor you are already looking at.
Theme Studio changes the chrome, never the document. Exports and prints always keep the file's own colours, and the page stays opaque paper so text never depends on the theme.
Pick a palette and the whole workspace previews instantly. Randomise for a fresh direction, switch between light, dark and system, or filter by mood. The same theme carries through home, ribbons, panels and all six editors.
The same engines are available headless: a CLI, an agent skill and an MCP server — so coding agents produce .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and .pdf instead of Markdown approximations.
Create, read, edit, convert and render through the same engines — no runtime of its own, and documents never leave the machine.
# Create a real .xlsx on this machine — no window, no upload genoffice create --type xlsx --from workbook.json --header --out "Q3 Sales.xlsx" # Turn Markdown into a print-ready PDF with the app's own renderer genoffice create --type pdf --from board-update.md --out "Board Update.pdf" # Render every slide to PNG so an agent can inspect its own work genoffice render "PS Workspace Deck.pptx" --out previews
No account. No telemetry. No analytics. No ads. No update pings. PS Workspace is a standalone desktop client — files open, edit, save, index and convert on this machine.
That blue SmartScreen prompt appears for every newly released independent app — it is a warning about the missing code-signing certificate, not a virus detection. Here is how to get past it.
People who joined the journey and sent feedback while PS Workspace was still being built.
Names are stored in this browser only (no server, no sign-up), so the list you see is the list on your own device.
Everyday office software should not require renting access to your own documents. PS Workspace is built by one independent developer who wants students, small shops and freelancers to write, compute and present without a paywall.
There is no account tier and no feature that needs a server, so nothing here can quietly become a subscription. If paid services like cloud sync ever arrive, they stay optional — the desktop app remains free and ad-free.
An honest comparison. Microsoft Office remains the most complete suite — I don't pretend otherwise. PS Workspace is the free, local-first option that also covers Markdown, HTML and bring-your-own-key AI.

Yes — one install includes all six editors, the AI panel, Theme Studio, local search, PDF conversion and OCR, the CLI, the agent skill and the MCP server. No add-ons, no account tier, no ads.
No. Every editor works without any AI at all. If you want it, add your own key for one of the 17 providers or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — including a local model server. The key is sealed in the Windows credential vault and never appears in logs.
Yes. PS Workspace writes real OOXML and copies untouched parts byte-for-byte, so styles, comments, tracked changes, equations and content controls round-trip. Narration, timings and 3D models are stored the way PowerPoint stores them.
Everything except an AI request. Rendering, OCR, conversion, indexing and export all run on this machine, and there is no update server phoning home.
Because the installer is not code-signed yet, Windows cannot confirm who published it. Follow the installation help above, and scan the file with your own antivirus first if you want independent confirmation.
64-bit Windows — the current build is v0.12.0 for Windows x64. The screenshots on this page come from that shipped build.
Use the button in the header. Every message lands with me and I read all of them — that is how most of the feature list got built.
Open a file, edit it with the model you trust, save it in the format it arrived in — and keep it on your disk.
Independent developer · Builder of PS Workspace
Hi! I'm a 16-year-old developer and I built this because I got tired of renting access to my own documents. The project is still growing, so you may find rough edges. If something breaks or you have an idea, send it through the Help form — I fix things based on what people actually ask for.
Bugs, missing features, translation help or a file that will not open — send it here and it reaches me directly.
