rafal-fryc is reshaping Mike into a portable, single-user desktop app for legal work - with workflows that travel between instances.
This fork takes Mike in a distinctly local direction. rafal-fryc is porting the cloud legal-AI stack into a desktop application that runs as a single-user Windows install, backed by a local database and a workspace folder on disk. The pitch, in effect: Mike on your own machine, no tenant to log into.
Alongside the desktop port, rafal-fryc has introduced a small file format for exporting and importing workflows between Mike instances. That turns a workflow built in one place into something a colleague can pick up elsewhere - useful precisely because a desktop-first Mike means more isolated instances out there.
Taken together, the two threads paint a coherent product direction: shrink Mike down to something an individual practitioner or small firm can run on their own hardware, and give them a way to swap work with peers without going through a shared account.
What's in it
- Single-user desktop install Mike packaged as a Windows desktop app you install with a double-click, rather than a hosted service you log into.
- Local data, local workspace Your matters live on your own machine in a workspace folder, backed by an embedded database - not in someone else's cloud.
- Portable workflows Export a workflow to a small file, hand it to another team, and they can import it into their Mike without sharing accounts.
- Cross-instance collaboration A practical answer to the isolation that comes with desktop-first software: workflows become artifacts you can pass around.
