What it does
OpenFiles is a universal desktop file manager that views, edits and manages 350+ file formats in one app — PDFs, Office docs, images, videos, audio, code, archives, design files and more. New: a per-tab AI Chat Drawer to chat with the file you're viewing — summarize PDFs, explain code, translate docs, extract tables. Plus a TipTap Markdown WYSIWYG editor (KaTeX, Mermaid), image lightbox, and anonymous feedback. Cross-platform, privacy-first — runs locally. Free.
Stop installing another app for every file. Open it, understand it, and keep moving.

We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
