One of the most complete personal chief-of-staff systems available free, with daily planning, meeting intelligence, background jobs on a Mac and a persistent vault, from an active maintainer. The PolyForm Noncommercial licence is the catch: using it for your business needs a separate written licence from the maker. Excellent for personal use; ask the maker before using it at work.
Security: Not scanned. Not scanned: the licence is noncommercial, so we did not run a commercial scan on it. Runs locally with no hosted data.
