Just jot. We'll handle the rest.
Write a sentence, get a structured item.
One line in, one structured item out
No fields to fill. The model pulls time, people, place, tags out of the sentence.
One dataset, four perspectives
Cards, calendar, Eisenhower matrix, raw Markdown. Switch with a click — no copying. Your notes are never locked into a single view.
- Cards — browse recent items along a timeline
- Calendar — see which days are heavy at a glance
- Matrix — urgent × important, classic 2×2
- Markdown — .md on disk, open in any editor
Wherever you type
⌥Space on Mac to open capture. Share sheet on iPhone. One URL on the web. Same items, everywhere.

Local-first. Your data stays yours.
Everything lives in plain .jsonl and .md files on your own Mac. Open format — grep it, back it up, take it elsewhere. Our servers never see it.
“Daish is open source, runs locally, and every core feature stays free. We only charge for what actually needs our servers — hosted sync, LLM proxy.”
Today: macOS (Apple Silicon). Next: iOS, Windows, Linux.
Other details you'll appreciate
Not a todo app. Not an AI assistant. A notebook that organizes itself.
Free
The app itself is free — every view, every feature. With your own API key, LLM calls bypass us too.
No signup required
Install and start typing. An account is only needed for cloud sync, backup, or Daish-hosted LLM. Everything else works offline.
Open source
The client is public on GitHub. Read it, fork it, build your own.
Zero-friction input
Write a sentence the way you'd text a friend. The model pulls out time, people, location, and tags in the background.
Four views
One source of truth, rendered as cards, a calendar, an Eisenhower matrix, or raw Markdown. Switch with a click.
Your data
Everything lives in plain .jsonl and .md files on your machine. Open format — grep it, back it up, move it to another tool.
Global quick capture
Hit ⌥Space from any app to open a capture panel. Type, return, back to what you were doing.
Two LLM sources
Bring your own OpenAI / Claude / DeepSeek key, or use Daish credit at the provider's published rate.
Global search
⌘K or double-tap Shift. Searches titles, notes, people, and tags at once.
The app is free. Cloud services are paid.
