Our review

Checked 2026-10-02

A local-first file workspace for people running AI agents, with git built in and cloud hosting only when you ask for it.

PuppyOne's premise is that agents need access to your real files, and that handing them a cloud folder is not the only way to do it. Files stay on your computer by default; you publish to the cloud deliberately when a cross-device, team or multi-agent situation requires it. The default being local rather than remote is the distinguishing choice.

Git is built in rather than bolted on, so every change an agent makes is a diff you can review and revert. For anyone letting software edit their files, that is the difference between an experiment and a liability.

It is aimed squarely at people already running agents against real projects, which is still a narrow audience, and it is a desktop download rather than a browser tool. It is also young, so expect the rough edges that implies.

Best for

  • Giving AI agents access to real files without uploading them
  • Reviewing and reverting agent changes through git

Where it falls short

  • Narrow audience - assumes you already run agents
  • Desktop install required
  • Young product; feature set still moving

About PuppyOne

PuppyOne is an open-source, local-first desktop workspace that keeps documents, notes, PDFs, research, drafts and AI-generated output together in one project. Rather than being another chatbot, it gives the AI assistants and agents you already use persistent access to the same project materials across sessions, so you are not re-uploading files and re-explaining context each time. Built-in version history records every AI-made change and lets you restore earlier work. Aimed at researchers, students, creators and knowledge workers who want AI in a long-term workflow while keeping files under their own control.

Key features

  • Local-first project workspace — files stay on your machine
  • Shared project context across AI sessions
  • Built-in version history with restore
  • Open-source desktop app
