Built for One Person
Tested every task app I could find. None fit. Built this one for myself. Sharing it in case it fits you too.
Local-first
Everything stays on your device. Zero telemetry, zero tracking. Your data never leaves your machine.
AI is optional
Use it as a pure task manager. Enable AI when you want it. Bring your own key from any provider.
Keyboard-first
Built for speed. Global shortcut to capture, keyboard navigation everywhere. No clicking required.
Open source
MIT licensed. Read every line of code. Fork it, extend it, make it yours.
Not a subscription
No recurring fee. No account. No server. Free and open source. You own it outright.
Under the Hood
Electron shell, local SQLite, no cloud, no account. The stack is boring on purpose - fast, auditable, yours.
