Motif

A desktop app that turns a sentence into finished work. It reads the project, writes the files, checks what it produced and commits what passes. The model and the files stay on your machine.

What it does.

  • Projects and requests

    Say what you want. Motif files it into a project and breaks it into steps.

  • A verification gate

    Nothing counts as finished until a test actually passes.

  • Real history

    Every step that passes is committed to version control.

  • Checks that mean something

    Catches real errors in five languages before calling the work done.

  • The workbench

    File tree, editor, terminal and search in the same window.

  • Pips

    Five standing workers, each with a model and a job.

  • Memory

    Decisions saved as markdown files you can open and read.

  • Your own model

    Ollama on your machine, any OpenAI compatible endpoint, or Anthropic.

Tachyon.

The mesh under every project. Each worker is a node, so a task can wait for the step before it and then hand off by itself. You watch the whole thing move instead of wiring the sequence up by hand.

  • The mesh view

    Every agent in the project, what it is doing, and what moved between them.

  • Interlink

    A task declares what it depends on. It waits, then releases the moment the step before it lands.

  • The wire

    A small command language, so agents coordinate without spending a model call to say hello.

motif.local.

A guest opens motif.local on the office Wi-Fi, enters a six character code, and talks to the agent running on your machine. No account, no cloud, and nothing leaves the network.

  • Chat only

    No filesystem tools, no project files, nothing but the conversation and the work in front of it.

  • You hold the door

    The first join needs your approval. After that you can revoke anyone and rotate the code whenever you like.

  • Your model does the work

    Guests spend tokens on your machine, not in our account. We host nothing.
