About
Pimosa runs as a desktop app on Mac and Windows. You drag files onto a tool or queue a whole folder, and jobs run in order with results saved next to the originals, while the originals are kept by default. Visual editors handle timelines, crop boxes, subtitles, audio waveforms and PDF page order, and an optional agent panel can plan multi-step jobs from a plain-language request using a local or self-chosen AI model.

FAQ
Do I have to use AI?
No. Pimosa is a toolkit first: every tool works with a click, offline. The AI agent is an optional side panel, and it does nothing until you choose a model.
Is the AI expensive?
It can be free. Run a local model in Ollama or LM Studio at no cost, or use your own OpenRouter key and pay that provider only for what you use. There's no Pimosa subscription.
What is Pimosa?
A desktop app for video, audio, images, and PDFs. Compress, convert, resize, trim, merge, edit, download, transcribe, and strip metadata without a pile of separate apps.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
Work happens on your computer. Nothing is uploaded to convert files. Transcription uses a model downloaded to your computer. The AI chat uses whatever model you connect (OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, or another OpenAI-compatible API).
Which systems are supported?
macOS 12.4 or later (Apple Silicon) and Windows.
How much does it cost?
Pay once. Personal is 1 device, Plus is 3 devices, Team is 5 seats. Lifetime updates, no subscription. A 3-day free trial and a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 3 days on that device. When it ends, jobs stop until you activate a license. The trial cannot be started again on a device that already used it.
Do I need an account?
You need a license key or the trial to process files. OpenRouter needs your own API key if you use that provider. Local models do not.
