The non-nonsense simple desktop app for Perplexity AI. It's just work, no magic, no tray, no scripts injected and nothing obfuscated.
- Just works: Open Perplexity and is just it.
- Persistent window state: If the window is on primary display, stay on primary. If the window is small, stay small. Simple.
- No magical tray: Why still running? Just open when you want and close when you want.
