Desks
arrange your ideas
Thoughts rarely arrive in order. They come in pieces. At odd moments.
Piet's desks are where you can capture and arrange them until they make sense. Create individual desks to structure your ideas, writing, research, projects. Whatever comes to your mind that deserves being captured.
Cards
One thought to a card
A card is the smallest fragment Piet keeps. A sentence you don't want to lose. A picture that inspires you. A quote to prove your idea. A question you're still chewing on. Move them around your desks and set them in the order that fits your thinking—so scattered thoughts turn into clear ideas.
Notes
Room to develop a thought
Some thoughts outgrow a card. A note gives it room—into an understanding. An argument. A decision. A story. A plan. An insight. Write from what you've gathered—so a deskful of fragments becomes something whole.
Features
Your data
Piet is local-only to keep your personal thoughts safe: no cloud, no account, no tracking. Works fully offline on your Mac.
No AI, on purpose
Piet believes in the power of YOUR thoughts. No AI will finish your sentences or summarize your thinking away.
Tell your desks apart
Name your desks, drag them for sorting and tag them by color, so the one you need is easy to spot.
Just enough formatting
Notes have full formatting. Cards keep it simple — text or an image, with a few shortcuts for structure and links. Enough to shape your thought, without pulling your focus.
Nothing's locked in
Copy a card or a note and paste it anywhere. Piet provides both Markdown and rich text, so the app you paste into gets the right format.
Notes across every desk
Open a note over any desk, keep as many as you like, and access them seamlessly. Switch to full-view to stay focused on your thinking and writing.
