Rowboat
Your AI coworker with memory
Rowboat is a desktop app for Mac that combines a personal assistant with shared workspaces. It organizes conversations, files, notes, meetings, and other work into a knowledge graph, then uses that context to answer questions, draft replies, prepare for meetings, and carry out tasks on the computer. It also supports code work, turning decisions into implementation and reviewing changes.
The app includes Spaces for team collaboration, a shared whiteboard, documents and markdown, presentations, an email client, meeting notes, voice mode, background agents, and an MCP server. It can connect to popular products, run tools locally, and use an isolated local browser. Models can be provided by Rowboat or brought in through ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Ollama, or LM Studio. Personal context such as emails, notes, and memory stays on the user's machine, and shared spaces can be self-hosted.
Rowboat is aimed at individuals and teams who want a personal assistant alongside shared workspaces. It is available as a free plan with limited daily usage, a Starter plan with unlimited team spaces and notes, a Pro plan with direct access to the Rowboat team, and an Enterprise plan with customized setup. Plans are priced per month, and the app is currently available for Mac with Apple Silicon.
