Private Productivity App for Mac

Jikoku is a native productivity application for macOS that integrates Apple Reminders, calendars, and contacts into a single workspace. It features local meeting transcription, on-device AI for speech processing, and personal contact management without requiring a Jikoku account. The app runs on Apple Silicon and allows users to take notes and manage tasks alongside their existing calendar events.

The software includes features for recording and transcribing meetings locally, managing personal contacts, and utilizing on-device artificial intelligence. It connects Calendar, Reminders, and Contacts with local notes in one workspace, allowing users to drag tasks into their calendar days for realistic planning. Users can also separate speakers during transcription and review action items before converting them into reminders or events.

Jikoku operates entirely on the user's device using Apple Silicon for core speech and language processing. Notes, meeting audio, transcripts, and prompts are not sent to any external AI server or third-party service. The app does not upload data to external servers, ensuring that all processing happens locally within the application.

The application requires macOS 14 or later and Apple Silicon hardware to run. During the public beta phase, the local speech and language models are available as optional downloads that users can initiate from the Settings menu. There is no mandatory account creation required to use the core functionality of the app.

Users can sync Calendar, Reminders, and Contacts through iCloud if configured, while configured calendar providers use their own connections. Jikoku notes remain local inside the app and can be exported to a destination chosen by the user. The software does not maintain its own content servers or user-action tracking mechanisms.

The app is currently available as a Free Beta for users to explore. It is designed to connect various life contexts such as appointments, promises, and deep work sessions into one unified workspace. This approach aims to eliminate false borders between different types of daily activities.

The local AI feature allows users to process speech and language directly on their Mac without relying on a cloud-based content server. This on-device processing ensures that core functions like transcription and note-taking do not depend on an internet connection for basic operations. The app prioritizes keeping data local rather than uploading it to a Jikoku content cloud.

Jikoku is described as a personal CRM that uses Apple Contacts, groups, and people projects without needing a traditional sales pipeline. The visual relationship board helps users organize connections and projects visually. This approach allows users to manage personal relationships and context without turning every contact into a lead.

The app allows users to record meetings on their Mac and transcribe them locally with speaker separation capabilities. After reviewing the transcript, users can separate speakers and review action items before they become reminders or calendar events. This workflow ensures that meeting notes are actionable and integrated into the user's schedule.

The software connects Apple Reminders, calendars, and contacts into one native workspace with Jikoku notes. It brings these elements together so that a to-do list can see the calendar and events sit beside tasks. This integration allows users to manage their day without switching between separate applications.

The app provides a visual relationship board for managing people and projects, which functions as a personal CRM. It also includes a local transcription feature that separates speakers and allows users to review action items. These features are designed to help users manage their personal context and relationships efficiently.

The app integrates with Apple Reminders and calendars to allow users to drag tasks into their calendar days. This feature helps users plan realistically by showing free time alongside scheduled events. Users can also use the visual relationship board to manage personal contacts and projects without a sales pipeline.
