Pieces

What is Pieces?

Pieces is a desktop app that runs in the background and builds a searchable long-term memory of what you do across apps and websites: research, chats, emails, notes and meetings. The memory is saved on-device and can be searched by time, topic, person or tool, or turned into standup updates, morning briefs, meeting prep and day recaps. A built-in chat lets you switch between Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT and local models for each question. The Pieces MCP Server passes that history to Claude, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity and other MCP-ready assistants, so they work with your real context. Developers, knowledge workers and engineering organizations use it to stop retracing their steps. Pieces is paid: Pro costs $18.99 per user per month billed monthly, Enterprise costs $22.99 per user per month, and new users get a 7-day free trial with a card on file.

Use cases

• Recall past work by time or topic
• Generate daily standup updates

• Search research and chat history
• Switch AI models per question

Who it's for

Why use Pieces

• Stop retracing steps: the timeline lets you find where a snippet, link or decision came from without digging through tabs.
• Memory is saved on-device by default, which keeps your work history on your own machine.
• One plan covers several model families, so you can compare Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT answers without separate subscriptions.
• The MCP server gives the AI tools you already use access to your history instead of starting every chat from zero.
• Enterprise adds approved providers, your own API keys and admin controls for rollout across a team.

How to get started with Pieces

1. Install Pieces Desktop and PiecesOS, then sign in with GitHub, Google, Microsoft or email.

3. Search or ask about your history by time, topic, person or tool, or generate a recap with one click.
4. Connect the Pieces MCP Server to Claude, Cursor, Codex or another MCP-ready assistant so it can use that context.
5. For teams, create an organization, choose seats and invite members with Owner, Admin, Write or Read roles.

Pieces limitations

• There is no free plan; the app prompts you to select a plan and a card is required to start the 7-day trial
• A sign-in is required; anonymous usage is not available
• Without Pro, Pieces no longer forms new memories, though existing ones stay browsable
• Prices, intervals and trials can vary by account, and checkout is the source of truth
