About Pawwork
PawWork is a free, open source desktop AI agent for macOS and Windows. It is built on DeepSeek Harness and packaged as a finished application, positioned as an open alternative to Codex App and Claude Desktop for everyday work rather than only browser chat or code editing. The user opens it, chooses a folder and describes a task in plain language, with no terminal required.
Example outputs shown by the vendor include turning a set of PDF invoices into a reviewable spreadsheet, producing a research based decision memo, and reviewing a pull request to flag risks. It reads and edits Word, Excel and PowerPoint files locally, has built in web search that needs no separate key, and asks the user to review every action before it runs. Files stay on the user's machine, and the code is published under the Apache 2.0 license so it can be audited.
PawWork does not resell model access. On first launch the user picks a provider and pastes their own key, choosing from more than thirty options including DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Moonshot, Z.ai and xAI, and can switch at any time. Downloads are offered for macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel, signed and notarized, and for Windows x64, which currently ships as an unsigned installer that may trigger a SmartScreen warning on first launch.
The app is free with no subscription. The user pays their chosen model provider directly for usage, at that provider's rates.
