Pie Link for macOS

Stop handing off web tasks by hand.

Pie Link connects the context in your current page and conversation to your Mac. With your approval, Pie can create local files, use existing skills, or send work to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other local AI tools.

Fewer handoffs

Leave the intermediate steps to Pie Link.

Pie still handles work in the browser. Pie Link connects that context to your local environment so the task can continue without a manual handoff.

One instruction

Context moves with the task.

Pie already understands the page and conversation where a task begins. Pie Link carries that context into the local workflow, so you do not have to reconstruct it in another tool.

Start from the current pageThe current webpage, PDF, and conversation can become the context for a local task without being copied piece by piece.

Send it to the right toolYou choose the local AI tool, skill, and working directory. Pie Link prepares the task, and Pie shows it in full before anything runs.

Finish in the right placeBrief results can return to Pie. Ongoing work can remain in local files, an editor, or a terminal.

Scope: the current task context · the working directory you select · the local tool you explicitly choose

Two destinations

Get the result, or continue the work.

Some tasks need a clear result; others need your continued involvement. Pie Link delivers the work to the place that fits.

Result returns to Pie · Run

You say“Use this issue to inspect my local repository, identify the failure, and implement the fix.”

Pie Link sends the task, relevant context, and working directory to the local AI tool you select. When it finishes, the result returns to this conversation so Pie can continue from it.

Best for

Tasks with a clear completion condition
Work where you need the conclusion, changes, or execution report
Tasks that should continue in this conversation once complete

Continue locally · Handoff

You say“Organize this research into a local project and open it so I can continue refining it.”

Pie Link organizes the material, files, and findings from the conversation in a local workspace, then opens the tool you select. You continue in the editor or terminal with the full context available.

Best for

Long-running work whose scope may continue to change
Tasks you want to direct interactively as they progress
Work whose final deliverable belongs in a local project or file

Need the result? Return it to Pie. Need to take over? Continue locally.

In both cases, you select the target tool and working directory. Pie does not choose the recipient for you.

Local execution boundary

The scope is clear before work begins.

Pie Link does not turn a conversation into unrestricted access to your computer. The action, target tool, working directory, and permissions are explicitly constrained.

Review before executionBefore any local action, Pie displays the complete task and target directory. Nothing runs until you approve it.

Permission for a defined scopeCapabilities are granted per skill and operation, not as blanket access. You can revoke them in Settings.

Scripts run in isolationSkill scripts run in an OS-level sandbox. Network access requires declared domains, writing is limited to the session workspace, and sensitive folders remain blocked.

Tool access is allowlistedA fixed local registry defines what can launch and run. The model passes identifiers and arguments, never arbitrary commands or code.

Changes require new approvalIf a skill’s code or permission declarations change, its existing grant becomes invalid and must be approved again.

The process is verifiableLocal actions are recorded in an on-device audit log. Pie Link is open source, Developer ID signed, and notarized by Apple.

FAQ

What to know before installing.

Which platforms are supported?

Pie Link currently supports macOS 13 or later. One universal package supports both Apple Silicon and Intel and works with the Pie extension in Chrome. A Windows version is in development.

How is Pie Link updated?

Download and run the latest .pkg to replace the installed version. The Pie extension indicates when an update is required.

Does Pie work without Pie Link?

Yes. Every in-browser Pie feature works without Pie Link. Installing it only adds the local connection described on this page.

How do I uninstall Pie Link completely?

Quit Pie Link, then remove its launch entries, menu bar application, command-line binaries, Chrome native messaging manifest, and data directory.

Quit Pie Link from the menu bar: click the Pie icon and choose Quit.

Unload and remove the two launch entries:

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.wiseria.pie.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.wiseria.pie.menubar.plist rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.wiseria.pie.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.wiseria.pie.menubar.plist

Remove the menu bar application:

sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Pie Link.app"

Remove the command-line binaries:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/pie /usr/local/bin/pie-host

Remove the Chrome native messaging manifest:

rm "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/ai.wiseria.pie.json"

Remove Pie Link’s data directory. It contains local skills, session workspaces, and permission records; back up anything you want to keep:

rm -rf ~/.pie
