The core loop

Pick a task. Focus with Tabby. Build momentum.

TaskTabby is designed for the moment between deciding what matters and actually starting it.

Choose one task

Put the next useful thing in front of you.

Start a session

Give the task a clear window of attention.

Return gently

Use calm nudges instead of guilt-heavy prompts.

See progress

Let completed focus build something cozy.

Trust matters

A desktop companion should earn its place.

TaskTabby is being built around local-first data, clear controls, and no invasive monitoring.

No screen or input capture

No screenshots, keystroke logging, microphone access, or camera access.

Local-first focus data

Tasks, sessions, settings, and progress are intended to remain on your device.

Controls stay visible

Hide Tabby, quiet nudges, reduce motion, and control the overlay.
