Install Lite Suite — your AI operating environment

Getting Started with Lite Suite

What Is Lite Suite?

Lite Suite is a desktop AI operating environment — a single Electron application where code editors, terminals, AI agents, browsers, benchmarks, voice control, and memory systems all live together as composable panels on an infinite canvas. Everything runs locally on your machine.

Download

Downloads are temporarily paused. Lite Suite is available for Windows 10/11 (64-bit). macOS and Linux are coming soon.

Install

  1. Wait for downloads to reopen
  2. Run the installer and choose your install location
  3. Launch LiteSuite from your Start Menu or desktop shortcut

That's it. One app, everything included.

First Launch

When you first open Lite Suite, you'll see the infinite canvas workspace. The sidebar on the left lets you add panels — click the + button to browse all available panel types.

Key areas:

  • Canvas mode — an infinite 2D surface where you arrange panels spatially (pan, zoom, drag)
  • Zen mode — a distraction-free single-panel view
  • Sidebar — quick access to files, git, search, and panel switching
  • Voice — press the hotkey to dictate anywhere, or have a full voice conversation with your AI companion

System Requirements

  • OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
  • RAM: 16 GB minimum, 32+ GB recommended
  • GPU: NVIDIA GPU recommended for local AI models and image generation
  • Disk: ~2 GB for the base app, more for local AI models

Product Ecosystem

Lite Suite is centered on LiteSuite, the primary AI operating environment. LiteImage and LiteModeler remain standalone GPU studios because they have specialized runtime requirements, and LiteDock stays free as the Windows workspace utility:

  • LiteSuite — The AI operating environment. Editor, terminal, browser, voice, agents, memory, benchmarks, and setup workflows in one desktop app.
  • LiteImage — Local AI image/video generation. Requires dedicated GPU resources and runs as a separate Electron app.
  • LiteModeler — Local prompt-to-3D and image-to-3D generation. Uses LiteImage as a sidecar for prompt-to-3D workflows.
  • LiteDock — A free Rust-based Stage Manager for Windows 11 window management.

Open Source Tools

Four tools are available free without a trial:

  • LiteEditor — Spatial code editor (LiteSuite's ancestor). Free forever.
  • LiteDesign — AI design canvas. Free forever.
  • LiteCLI — Universal CLI for MCP servers + Skill Compiler.
  • LiteDock — Native Windows 11 window manager. Free forever.
