Floatboat is a local-first AI coworker for macOS and Windows. Hand off real tasks — research, spreadsheets, files, scheduling — and get a finished deliverable. Your files stay on your computer, and you choose which model does the work.
Most desktop coworker products either lock you to one vendor's cloud or rent you a remote Linux box. Floatboat runs on the machine you already work on, picks the right model per task, and ships with the calendar as the runtime.

Four kinds of users treat Floatboat like a teammate they don't have to onboard — one that already knows their files, calendar and tools.
Quarterly reporting, invoice chasing, customer recaps. Drop the goal, the coworker reconciles the CSVs and drafts the email — you approve and ship.
A research coworker that reads your draft files in place, pulls quotes with footnotes, and rewrites tight sections — without pasting paragraphs across tabs.
A sales coworker that qualifies inbound leads, an ops coworker that schedules the call, and a follow-up coworker that drafts the recap — all on your desktop.
One Floatboat coworker per client project. It tags asset versions, kills duplicates, assembles briefs, and pings the right human only when a decision is needed.
No API key, no admin rollout, no remote VM. Download the app, grant a folder, drop a goal.
01
Free for Mac (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows 10/11. Install in under two minutes — no account, no credit card.
02
Pick the folders your coworker can read and write. Leave Auto Mode on, or pin a specific model — DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax — per task or per calendar block.
03
Type the outcome in plain words or schedule it as a calendar block. The coworker plans, executes and pings you only when a decision or approval is needed.
Most "AI coworker" products are a chat tab with file uploads bolted on, or a remote desktop you rent by the hour. Floatboat is a local-first desktop client that treats your machine — files, calendar, apps — as the workspace.
Free for Mac and Windows. Files stay on your computer, the model is yours to pick, and the runtime is the calendar you already keep.
