Your life, in one place you own.
Notes, plans, mail and chats, money, health, home and travel: one workspace on your own machine, and an accomplice that knows all of it and answers only to you. Not ten apps and an AI taped on top.
Hermes has one hour before limbo practice. He asks Mira what the week needs.
Three things: Dwight’s school form is due Wednesday, the bank statement has three lines nobody has explained, and LaBarbara wants mangoes on the grocery list.
None of this is in an app someone else runs. It is on the small computer in the hallway closet, and it will still be there when the apps he used to use have changed their terms again.
It runs on your Mac or a small server at home. There is no account with us and no hosted version. Sovereignty
Your accomplice drafts, files and reminds on its own. Sending, paying and posting wait for your yes. The AI answers to you
Its name, its voice, its look, and how close it stands: a helper that stays out of the way, or a confidant that knows your week.
Budgets
Groceries
One install instead of a dozen subscriptions.
Everything below works today, in the same workspace, with the same accomplice beside each page.
Notes and documents as Markdown files you own, linked to each other, with tasks written in the text.
todayToday, what’s late and what’s next. Tasks you can edit, repeat and make depend on each other, beside your calendar.
todayMail, Telegram and WhatsApp in one inbox. Your accomplice sorts it and drafts replies.
todayAccounts, budgets and transactions, with bank statements imported and filed.
todayA shopping list on every device you own, the things in your home and their upkeep, trips and bookings.
todayMeasurements and medications, with Apple Health data brought in.
todayFiles, reports and pictures, filed by your accomplice so you can find them.
todayTalk instead of typing. It answers aloud, and keeps working while it speaks.
todayIt shows you first.
Ask in your own words. You watch the reply being written beside the chat, change what you like, and approve once. A draft sends nothing, so a draft needs no approval.
It sorts new mail, notices a promise you made, and tells you each night what it did and why. It starts by proposing only.
Use the plan you already pay for, or a local model for anything private.
