Pieces

What it is for

Pieces is a desktop long-term memory for work: the official Timeline (see the cover: Time Breakdown, project minutes, memories) is the product. Use it when the job is recall what you did across apps, not when you want Tab-complete in the editor.

It is not open source. There is no permanent free plan on the public cards we copied. Pro is the first listed seat. A 7-day trial asks for a card.

What makes it unique: the cover is Pieces’ own desktop Timeline (Filter Timeline + daily breakdown), not a wordmark.

Key features

• Timeline / LTM — Time Breakdown, project minutes, and memories (cover).
• Desktop capture — activity across browsers and apps on the same day list.
• Chat on memory — ask the desktop agent about what you already did (docs).
• Pro seat — $18.99 / user / month or $169.99 / year on the public card.
• Enterprise — $22.99 / user / month or $69.99 / user / quarter on pieces.app/pricing.

Who it's for

Best fit: knowledge workers who want a searchable work journal and will pay Pro after the trial.

Poor fit: people who only want in-editor completions (GitHub Copilot) or a local model runner (Ollama).

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-21 (Asia/Shanghai) from pieces.app/pricing. Re-check before you buy.

• No permanent Free card on the page we copied. Do not invent a $0 seat.
• Pro — $18.99 / user / month or $169.99 / year (the same card advertises Save 25% yearly).
• Enterprise — $22.99 / user / month or $69.99 / user / quarter.
• 7-day trial — card required on the checkout we fetched.

Do not treat the trial as a free plan.

Limitations / costs

• No lasting $0 plan in the HTML we fetched.
• Yearly Pro is $169.99 on pieces.app/pricing — confirm tax and checkout.
• Not an IDE. It remembers work; it does not Tab-complete a repo.
• Desktop capture is the product. Teams that cannot run an always-on client should skip it.

Alternatives

• GitHub Copilot — in-editor pair programmer; Pro $10/month plus flex.
• Cursor — desktop Agent that edits the repo; Plus $8.
• Continue — open-source IDE extension; you bring the model.
