Your whole workspace on one infinite canvas. No more alt-tabbing.
Lodge
2026-10-16 / projects/lodge.mdx
Your life on one canvas. Apps, widgets, notes, AI rooms, drawings, and automations on one zoomable surface that remembers where everything lives. Free, on the web and Windows.
Lodge is an infinite-canvas desktop.
It started as Bored — the idea that a desktop should be a place, not a stack of overlapping rectangles. Pan, zoom, pin things where they belong, and stop fighting window managers for screen space. Apps, widgets, notes, AI rooms, drawings, and automations all sit on one surface that remembers where each context lives.
Lodge itself is free. Only AI actions that call a model provider use Komatik credits.
What's In It
- One canvas. Everything — apps, widgets, notes, drawings — is a placed object on the same zoomable surface.
- The dock is a map. It doesn't launch apps; it pans the canvas to where each one lives.
- Koda, the companion. Local intent matching first, a model only when it needs one.
- Fireside. Multi-agent rooms for brainstorming, research, red-team review, games, and keeping an eye on a fleet of agents.
- Lyra, Komatik's music app, embedded as an app on the canvas.
- 36 widget types plus embed presets — clock, weather, calendar, timer, bookmarks, and more.
- Drawing, focus mode, and saved views.
- Flow, a node-based automation engine for manual and scheduled HTTP and AI steps.
Since May
- Public launch rebrand (May). Fireside replaced the old BoredRoom, Lyra moved in, and a new visual theme arrived.
- Komatik accounts and credits (Jun). "Continue with Komatik" sign-in and a shared credit wallet, with a clear top-up when you run out.
- Upgrades (Jun). Next.js 16, Expo SDK 56, TypeScript 6.
- Safer automations (Jun). Flow runs only manual and scheduled steps; inbound webhooks were retired.
- A new homepage (Jun).
- Free for everyone (Jul). Universal free access with metered AI credits, and a responsive mobile working set.
- Retiring legacy music (Oct). The old music aggregator is giving way to Lyra.
Platforms
All platforms share packages/core — pure TypeScript with no platform dependencies.
| Platform | Status | |---|---| | Web | Live | | Windows | Desktop shell with tray, global shortcut, and window state | | macOS | Buildable shell | | iOS / Android | Built on Expo; not in the stores yet | | Chrome extension | Working build |
On Windows, Lodge can adopt real running applications onto the canvas — VS Code, File Explorer, a game — next to widgets and notes. That stays a local development feature for now, because hosted content should never be able to drive native commands.
Why It Teaches Komatik
Lodge keeps proving that utility and warmth do not fight each other. A workspace can have ritual, texture, small animations, and objects that feel placed by a person — without becoming decoration.
This workbench borrows that language: dark chrome, parchment, pins, and a sense that work is still moving.
The Rule
If Lodge starts feeling like a SaaS dashboard, I ruined it.
