About Pieces

Pieces installs as an OS-level AI layer on macOS, Windows, and Linux to continuously capture your working context—code, documents, chats, browser tabs, and more—into a local Long-Term Memory Engine. It serves developers as a private memory system, a contextual AI assistant, and a searchable snippet repository all in one. The tool integrates natively with browsers, IDEs, terminals, and collaboration platforms, reducing context switching by keeping your recent activity accessible. Pieces Drive lets you save, organize, and reuse snippets with metadata, while Pieces Copilot answers contextual questions about your past work. All processing happens locally, ensuring your data remains on-device and private. By embedding long-term memory and contextual AI into your workflow, Pieces preserves creative flow, enhances recall, and streamlines development tasks across complex toolchains.
