One local attention layer
Four ways in. One Today List.
Catch the work before it disappears into another tab. Every approved task reaches one local list, ready for a time and a reminder.

LOCAL ONLYToday List
A local, reviewable queue for what you need to remember and do next.
✓Candidates enter only after the required local or user confirmation boundary.
Choose when it comes back
Set the time. The cat handles the return.
Use today, tomorrow, or an exact date and time. TodoPilot can fly in before the deadline and again when the task is actually due, so a quiet notification does not become another forgotten badge.

TodoPilot adapts to notched and non-notched Macs. The compact state keeps the next task and its time in sight; expand it for the local queue without losing keyboard focus.
Notch-fused
Fits the camera housing and keeps the task title compact.
Centered island
The same workflow on Macs without a notch or on an external display.

Hard to miss, easy to control
When it is time, the cat pilot brings the task back.
The pixel cat plane tows the actual task flag across a non-activating macOS panel. Act immediately, complete it, or ask for another flight in ten minutes—without turning every reminder into an interruption.
Before the task and at the deadline
Choose an early flight and an optional second flight when the task is actually due.
Complete or remind me in 10 minutes
The reminder is an action surface, not a decorative animation or another unread badge.
Quiet when it should be
Mute or rate-limit flights; full screen, screen sharing, and Reduce Motion use a calmer presentation.
Stop babysitting the terminal
Let the run finish without waiting on it.
TodoPilot listens only to the local lifecycle hooks you choose to install. One top-level run becomes one local Todo, stays visible while it works, and closes only when a trustworthy terminal event arrives.
Local Agent lifecycle · original 16-second demo
Start the work
A top-level Agent run creates a local, in-progress Todo with its real provider identity.
Leave the waiting
Switch apps, review a PR, or make coffee. The status island keeps the run in sight.
Get the truth
Completed, failed, cancelled, and lost stay distinct—then the cat carries the result across your screen.

Catch any on-screen task in about ten seconds.
Select a region anywhere on your Mac. Apple Vision recognizes the text locally; optional AI turns it into structured candidates, and nothing reaches Today List until you review it.

✓The save boundary is always yours.
Local where it matters
Interesting should not mean invasive.
The playful reminder sits on top of conservative data boundaries. Core task capture, Agent monitoring, Today List, status island, and reminders remain useful without an account.
Screenshots stay local
Captured images are not uploaded by default. Apple Vision OCR runs on your Mac.
Agent hooks stay narrow
TodoPilot does not read full conversations, code files, terminal output, reasoning, or tool calls.
Logs stay boring
Logs avoid task bodies, OCR source text, screenshot paths, secrets, and tokens.
AI is optional
Only deliberate online AI structuring sends the minimum text needed for that request.
Start free, stay local
Useful before you pay a cent.
Free Mode includes the local loop. Pro adds optional cloud assistance and a perpetual license without turning local features into a trial.
