One key, every file.
Private. Offline-first. AI optional.

CORE INTERACTION

Space → preview → workbench

Space

Open floating preview for the selected file or folder

Space / Esc

Close preview and return to Explorer or Desktop

Arrow keys

Travel to sibling files without reopening

Edit

Open PDF or video workbench inside the preview

Targets: Space acknowledge ≤100ms · useful preview ≤1s for light files · tray app with global keyboard hook.

FORMATS

Faithful rendering, not a text dump

• PDF: pdf.js in WebView2, zoom, thumbs
• Word: mammoth HTML + KaTeX for math
• PowerPoint / Excel: real slides and sheets
• Images: zoom; optional rembg background removal
• Code / Video: syntax highlight; light autoplay then full editor on Edit
• Folders / EXE: metadata Quick Look intro

INSTANT PREVIEW

One key, every format

PDF, DOCX, PPT, Excel, images with optional rembg, source code, video, folders, and executables, rendered in a floating panel over File Explorer or the Desktop.

AI ON TAP

Optional, never required

Auto summary, Continue Chat, and Look Up when you want them. Providers cascade through Cortex with strict token and safety limits.

PDF WORKBENCH

Acrobat-class tools

Merge, split, extract, organize, rotate, sign, and stamp, inside the same preview surface, offline-first.

VIDEO

CapCut-light editing

Multi-track timeline, Whisper captions, and export without launching a separate NLE for quick cuts.

CONVERT

One-click export

Drop to Markdown or PDF from the preview chrome, useful for vault handoff into AirGPT or archival.

PRIVACY

Local memory, dual brain

Local-first by default. Extension-only telemetry. API keys in a DPAPI vault. Dual-brain context never uploaded. Your files stay on disk.

WITH AIRGPT

File workbench vs deep AI room

Netie Space is the daily driver for files on disk: preview, edit, convert. AirGPT is where vault markdown, agents, and long chat sessions live. Hand off any path from either side:

NetieSpace.exe --preview "path\to\file"
