Why Aicono?

Your desktop AI assistant that respects your privacy and works offline.

Cluttered desktops waste time

Scattered icons make it hard to find anything. Aicono groups and arranges them automatically so you can focus on your work.

Manual cleanup doesn't last

As soon as you organize your desktop manually, new files and shortcuts scatter everywhere again. Aicono gives you a repeatable, AI-powered cleanup.

Other tools need cloud accounts

Aicono runs fully on your machine. No uploads, no accounts, no cloud sync unless you choose it.

Grouping can be hit-or-miss

Built-in AI models handle most cases. For advanced users, connect larger custom models through Lemonade, Ollama, or cloud APIs for better accuracy.

No feedback loop

The WYSIWYG editor lets you drag icons between groups, resize and rename them. Aicono learns from your adjustments.

Auto-arrange fights against you

Windows snapping and auto-arrange can break custom layouts. Aicono gives you full control with safe reset and backup options.

Common questions.

Quick answers before you download.

Does Aicono cost anything?

Aicono is completely free to download and use. You can connect local AI models (Lemonade, Ollama, Llama.cpp) that run offline, or use cloud APIs with your own key for better accuracy.

Does Aicono leave my desktop untouched?

You define a custom Working Area in the main window. Icons outside that area are left completely untouched, and the visual editor lets you restore previous layouts at any time.

Can I run Aicono from a USB stick?

Yes. Aicono is a portable executable. Extract it anywhere and run it. No installation, no registry changes, no admin rights required.

What AI models are supported?

The built-in lightweight model runs fully offline. For better accuracy, connect Lemonade, Ollama, Llama.cpp, or cloud services like OpenAI and Mistral. The Model Manager lets you browse, favorite, and probe models.

What happens if Windows Auto-Arrange is on?

Disable Windows Auto-Arrange for best results. Right-click your Desktop > View > uncheck Auto-arrange icons. Aicono needs full control to arrange your layout.
