PIM currently supports Linux only (Ubuntu/apt-based distributions); macOS and Windows support is planned after initial testing feedback. There are three separate installers — pick the one that matches how you want to run PIM, there’s no in-installer choice to make.

PIM (desktop)

Everything in one process, all-in-one: the JavaFX app, the AI assistant, and your data, all local to this machine.

On first launch, PIM walks you through a one-time setup wizard for your database (a private, embedded option for solo use, or a shared one for family/team use) and for Ollama, the local AI runtime PIM’s assistant features depend on.

PIM Server

A headless build for running PIM as a real remote server — no GUI, no setup wizard, just the engine, listening for connections. Meant for a machine you leave running (a home server, a small box for the family), not something you sit in front of.

Configuration is set explicitly before first launch (which database, which local profile, where Ollama is) rather than through any dialog — it fails fast with a clear error if something’s missing instead of hanging waiting for a screen that isn’t there. A systemd service template ships alongside it for running it as a proper background service.

It also serves a web interface — once it’s running, visit its address in any browser (phone included) to connect. No separate download for that path.

PIM-Client

The client that connects to a PIM Server from another machine — a thin remote GUI with no business-logic modules of its own, just the interface and a connection. Point it at a running PIM Server and sign in with your profile.

Enter your name and email and we’ll send you a link with all three installers, plus occasional news about new releases (unsubscribe any time). This is how we keep in touch as PIM grows.

PIM is in pre-1.0 testing — these builds are free to download and run for your own personal use. See License & Terms for what that means now, and what changes at 1.0.
