Field notes
The page identifies the software as Alpha 0.1 and links to Windows, macOS, and Linux downloads under AGPL-3.0. It says the local database is a disk file and routes AI tasks through Claude Code, Codex, or Copilot CLI accounts the user already has. The listed workflows span message summaries, follow-up actions, document search, recurring tasks, and a Notion-like workspace; the page does not establish which are complete in this alpha.
