# Introduction to Floutwork, your Personal Work OS

> Learn what Floutwork is, why it was built, and what its core capabilities are — a complete overview for anyone getting started with the app.

This page introduces Floutwork — what it is, why it exists, and what you can do with it. If you're new to Floutwork, start here before moving on to download and setup.

## What is Floutwork?

Floutwork is a desktop app that brings your work browser, tasks, notes, AI chat, and productivity metrics into a single focused workspace. Instead of juggling dozens of tabs across multiple windows and switching between standalone apps all day, you work inside one environment designed entirely around getting things done.

Think of it as a Personal Work OS: a structured layer on top of your computer that organizes the tools you already use — Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, and hundreds of others — and adds intelligent features on top.

## The problem Floutwork solves

The browser was built for browsing the web, not for doing deep work. Most knowledge workers end up with 30+ open tabs, no clear separation between projects, and constant context-switching that kills focus and makes it hard to know what got done.

Floutwork replaces that chaos with structure:

* Tabs are grouped automatically by app, so your Gmail tabs never mix with your Figma tabs.
* **Workspaces** separate your different projects or roles with a single click.
* Everything — tasks, notes, AI, and your web apps — lives in the same window.

## Who Floutwork is for

Floutwork is built for knowledge workers who spend most of their day in a browser:

* **Founders and operators** managing multiple projects, teams, and tools at once
* **Product managers** juggling roadmaps, tickets, docs, and stakeholder communication
* **Designers** moving between briefs, feedback, design tools, and research
* **Any knowledge worker** who wants more structure, less distraction, and better visibility into how their time is spent

If your workday lives in browser tabs, Floutwork is built for you.
