A companion for the work around the work

The overhead is never one big task. It is a hundred small ones. A remark in a meeting that should have become a task. An hour of context somebody needs before the next call. A promise made in passing that nobody wrote down. Individually none of them are worth automating. Together they are most of a week.

Tools that offer to absorb that layer tend to ask for the keys to everything first — standing access to the mail, the calendar, the files. The moment a system asks for that, the conversation stops being about productivity and becomes a question about who else can read it.

It runs on your own machine and it checks, every morning, what you might have missed. The day arrives assembled: what is happening, what needs preparing, who is waiting on an answer, what has gone quiet since you last looked. A thought captured in one line lands as the right thing in the right place — a task, a note, a reminder, a draft — without anyone stopping to decide which.

What made it usable is where it runs. Everything happens locally, under your own account, using access you already have — nothing is handed to a service in the middle. Anything that would leave the building is written as a draft and waits for a person to approve it.
