Friday is now Kucedr. The new name brings a new identity to the project and a clear introduction to the product: one personal AI assistant, with tools you choose around the work you do.
If you knew the project as Friday, Kucedr is the name to look for on this website, in the documentation, and in the desktop downloads. This is the next chapter of the same project.
What Kucedr stands for
The homepage puts everyday work first. Edit a document. Research a topic. Write code. Create images, audio, and video. Keep the request, your files, and the tools to work on them together in one desktop app.
The Kucedr identity brings that experience into focus. The assistant is personal because you shape its context, providers, and workflows around your own needs.
Your assistant, your choice of tools
You choose the models and services for chat, voice, media, search, and storage. You can add dedicated Apps, connect local or remote MCP servers, and use Skills to capture tasks you repeat.
That means your setup can grow with your work. Begin with a conversation and a file. Add a project instruction when you need a consistent result. Bring in a connected tool or an App when the task calls for it.
Your work has a home on your desktop
Kucedr keeps conversation history on your device, with no Kucedr cloud account required. When a task uses a model, searches the web, or calls a connected tool, the necessary inputs go to your chosen service.
Saved facts, preferences, project instructions, a knowledge base, and a reviewable wiki help you pick up where you left off. Tool activity stays visible in the conversation so you can follow the work as it happens.
These are the product principles behind the new identity: personal context, provider choice, an extensible toolkit, and a desktop home for your work.
Where to go next
The Kucedr homepage introduces the desktop app and links to downloads for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The getting started guide walks through setup, and the release notes cover changes by version.
If you are returning from Friday, use those current resources to get acquainted with Kucedr. If you are meeting the project for the first time, start with one task you want help completing. We will use this blog to share practical workflows, product updates, and the decisions shaping what comes next.
