Overview.

Pippin is an automatic task list for your Mac. It reads the text in your windows and writes your to-do list while you work.

For anyone who has given up on to-do apps, forgets what's waiting on them, or has too much to keep track of, Pippin takes the chore out of keeping a list current.

What it does

  • Writes tasks for you. Rows come from the text on your screen, so you don't have to type them in.
  • Keeps the list current. It updates and closes rows as your work moves.
  • Shows who owes what. Rows like "Waiting on Emily" track replies you need.
  • Groups your work. Related rows form projects by themselves, with no setup.
  • Lets you choose. New rows wait in Recents. You add the ones you want to your To-do list.
  • Answers questions. Ask in chat what you worked on today, or where you left off.
  • Stays quiet. No notifications or nudges. Look when you want.

Your data and your AI

Your saved data stays on your Mac, with no Pippin account required. To understand your work, Pippin sends relevant text to the AI provider you choose. It reads text, not screenshots.

What you need

  • A Mac with macOS 15 or later and Apple silicon.
  • Your own AI: a ChatGPT plan, or a Claude or OpenRouter key.

Free during the beta. AI usage is covered by your own plan or provider billing.

You do the work. Pippin keeps the list.
