Features

Built different,
on purpose.

Local AI, zero cloud

Runs on your machine via Ollama. Your notes never leave your device.

Natural language in

Type whatever you're thinking. AI pulls out tasks, sub-tasks, and context.

Drag to merge

Drop one task onto another. AI combines them without losing detail.

Menu bar native

Lives in your menu bar. One click to open, type, and close.

Context layering

Add notes to any task later. AI weaves in the new context.

Auto merge

Drag. Drop.
Merged.

Drag one note onto another. AI reads both, merges them into one task. Sub-tasks, context, deadlines. Nothing gets lost.

tasks
Fix auth token refresh
Document auth endpoints
Update API documentation
