What it does
Tasks, events, notes, AI outputs and daily reports live in one app, with the AI assistant always on the right. Manual entry of tasks, events, notes, calendar items and daily reports works without any AI setup.
Today on one screen
Overdue tasks and tasks ending today are grouped as needing attention, next to today's events and tasks in progress. The AI assistant can suggest an order to work in.
Daily report drafts
The app collects the tasks, events, AI outputs and notes completed that day and drafts a report. You read it, add to it, and save it.
Changes only after you confirm
The assistant answers from your saved tasks, events and notes. Requested changes appear as a proposal, and nothing changes until you press Save.
Calendar and Google sync
Month, week and day views, with Japanese public holidays. When connected, single, all-day and multi-day events sync with Google Calendar. Recurring events are not synced.
Notes and voice memos
Notes with Markdown, tags and full-text search. Voice memos recorded with the Mac's microphone are transcribed by MacWhisper (a separate app) and saved as notes.
Documents and Google export
Documents and spreadsheets are saved on this Mac automatically, can be edited with the AI, and can be exported to Google Docs and Google Sheets.
Network and data
Your records are stored in a database on this Mac. The app connects to only these 5 destinations. There is no mechanism that sends your records through the developer's server.
| Destination | When | What is sent | Can it be turned off? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your chosen AI | When you send a request to the AI assistant (including buttons such as daily report and summary) | Your request and supporting material (tasks, events, notes, and document text when needed) | No AI, no traffic. With "LM Studio (this Mac)" or "Ollama (this Mac)" pointed at this Mac, nothing leaves the Mac |
| When connected and you use calendar sync, document saving and export, Notebook sync, or Gmail import | Events and documents in scope, exported documents, and records you select for sync | No traffic unless connected. You can disconnect at any time | |
| HiNotes | When connected and you import from HiNotes | Sign-in, and fetching notes and voice memos | No traffic unless used |
| Cabinet Office, Japan (holiday CSV) | At launch | Nothing (downloads the holiday list only) | If it cannot be downloaded, the built-in holiday data is used |
| k386.sub.jp (update info) | At launch, and when you check for updates | Nothing (reads the update information only) | The launch-time check can be turned off |
If you select a cloud model in MacWhisper, your recordings are sent to that service. This is decided by MacWhisper's settings, not by this app.
AI processing options: Codex (app-server) and cloud APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) send data outside this Mac; LM Studio or Ollama running on this Mac does not. Sending cannot be undone after the fact. Details are in the Japanese privacy policy.
