Ameeba Pseudopod
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common questions about the private workspace, Inbox, how it works, and what it is designed to do.
What Pseudopod is and how it is meant to feel from the first session.
Pseudopod is Ameeba’s private workspace for focused browsing, notes, files, Inbox, tools, and built-in AI. It is designed to start cleaner, with session-first privacy and optional continuity when you want it.
Pseudopod is built as a workspace instead of just a browser surface. It keeps browsing, writing, organization, files, Inbox, and AI closer together while reducing the usual assumptions around identity, persistence, and always-on syncing.
Pseudopod is for people and teams who want a calmer, more private workspace for research, development, writing, planning, and other focused work where continuity should be intentional instead of automatic.
The current Pseudopod page provides desktop downloads for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
How structured async communication fits into the private workspace.
Inbox is Pseudopod’s structured async communication layer for subject-based messages, replies, and attachments that live inside the workspace.
Pseudopod is the workspace layer, so Inbox belongs where notes, files, drafts, tools, and AI already live. Chat remains better for faster real-time conversation and coordination.
No. The first version is designed around Ameeba users and encrypted Ameeba identity rather than traditional email infrastructure.
Inbox is designed for subject lines, message bodies, replies, drafts, and attachments, giving work a cleaner async layer without making it feel like chat.
How sessions, persistence, sync, and exposure are handled inside the workspace.
No. Pseudopod is designed for people who want to browse, think, organize, and use workspace tools without forcing identity or persistence from the beginning.
It means Pseudopod is designed to start clean and give you more control over what persists. Sessions can remain ephemeral by default so you can work with less exposure unless you choose otherwise.
Yes, but only when you want it to. Pseudopod supports optional continuity so sessions can stay ephemeral by default and continue across devices when continuity matters to you.
Reduced exposure means the workspace is designed to minimize unnecessary persistence and keep browsing, notes, Inbox, tools, and AI use more contained, with more control over what stays and when.

Yes. Pseudopod is built as a workspace where notes, files, Inbox, and tools can live together so you can research, write, organize, communicate, and move through work without breaking your flow.
Yes. Pseudopod includes built-in AI inside the workspace so it can support research, drafting, organization, and tool use within the same environment.
Yes. Pseudopod is designed to support more private and local AI workflows when needed, so sensitive work can stay closer to your workspace.
