Get more out of cheaper models.

Brisal is a desktop agent client for people who’d rather be precise than pay $200 a month. Reply to your agent line by line, keep every session, and make it your own — so a modest model does real work.

The Brisal desktop app in its orange dark theme: a chat session where the agent explains its read, edit, and bash tools in a bulleted list and runs an echo command to prove bash works. The token meter along the bottom reads ~2.5k tokens, 2% of context, and less than $0.001 for the turn.

Real agent work — thinking, tool calls, a live transcript — for a fraction of a cent a turn. Try the palette switcher and light/dark toggle above: this site is themed by the same token files as the app.

Annotate, don’t re-explain

Reply to an agent line by line — tag a line Question, Change, Remove, or Note. Surgical feedback a small model can act on, instead of burning tokens re-describing what you meant.

Pick up where you left off

Every session is a saved transcript. Close the app mid-conversation and reopen exactly where you were — turns, tool calls, and all.

Organized by workspace

Sessions live in projects, projects live in workspaces. Selection, locking, and archiving keep a lot of agent work from turning into a pile of chats.

On the roadmap: opinionated agent defaults, and cheap scripted workflows in place of a pricey autonomous orchestrator.

And yes — it’s yours to theme

Palettes are plain CSS token files, not a settings dialog. Two axes — color and light/dark — swap with no flash on launch.

This very page proves it: the switcher in the header edits the same tokens the desktop app ships.
