Show HN: Kucedr (was Friday) – a desktop AI agent that runs on your machine

Kucedr, a desktop AI agent released under the MIT License for macOS, Linux, and Windows, runs on the user's machine with a local profile and no Kucedr cloud account required. Kucedr lets users pick separate models per task — including DeepSeek V4 Pro for text, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview for images, Veo 3.1 for video, and Lyria 3 Pro Preview for music — and extends the agent through MCP servers, skills, apps, and delegation to compatible remote agents. The agent also supports scheduled background tasks and periodic health checks, with tool permissions set to ask before making changes.

Your agent’s home is your desktop.Kucedr keeps your conversations, memory, settings, and installed apps in a local profile, with no Kucedr cloud account required.

Choose the provider and model for every task.Connect the AI providers you prefer and choose a model separately for chat, voice, images, video, and audio. Scheduled work and health checks have their own model settings, so each kind of task can use the setup that fits it. 3. Shape the memory behind your agent.Set the instructions that guide how your agent works, save facts you want it to remember, and use your knowledge base to find relevant information. You can review and shape the context it brings into future conversations. 4. Keep recurring work moving in the background.Schedule agent tasks and periodic health checks so useful work happens without a new prompt each time. Choose the model and tools for scheduled work, pause or run tasks when needed, and keep Kucedr open for the schedule to run. 5.
