It started with a missed deadline. Not because I forgot — but because the email that mattered got buried under a wave of newsletters, shipping notifications, and LinkedIn updates. By the time I found it, it was too late.
The obvious fix was to be more organized. Check email more often. Use filters. Star things. But none of that actually worked — the volume of email is just too high to manually triage, and every system I tried required more effort than the problem itself.
So I started building something. The idea was simple: connect Gmail, let an AI read everything, and surface only the tasks that actually need my attention. No manual entry, no re-reading, no sticky notes.
The first version was a Python script that ran on a Raspberry Pi and dumped tasks into a text file. It worked well enough that I kept using it every day. Then I rewrote it properly — a real backend, a real API, a real iOS app. That's what this is.
It's not trying to replace email. It's not trying to be a project management tool. It's one specific thing: read your Gmail and tell you what you need to do. That's the whole product.
