Private beta

All your deadlines.
None of the noise.

Pulls the deadlines, RSVPs, and decisions out of your Gmail and WhatsApp and surfaces them as one task list. The rest stays quiet — you train it.

How it pulls that off.

Surfaces what matters. Learns what doesn't. Catches the rest.

Surfaces what needs you

Reads every email and pulls out the deadlines, RSVPs, decisions, and signatures. You see a prioritized task list, not an inbox.

Learns what to ignore

Tap Higher, Lower, or Don't show on any item, and tell it why. Newsletter noise stops becoming tasks. It learns your taste, not everyone's.

Catches what you'd miss

Buried deep in a thread? Sitting in your inbox for two weeks? Chief of Staff surfaces things slipping through the cracks.

New

It reads WhatsApp, not just email.

The school RSVP, the team selection, the "are we still on Friday?" Half the things you need to act on land in a WhatsApp group, not your inbox. Chief of Staff reads your WhatsApp Desktop messages locally and pulls the same deadlines, RSVPs and decisions into one list, next to your email.

Read-only. It never sends messages for you. You just need WhatsApp Desktop installed and logged in.

Built different on purpose.

No hosted database. No shared model. No us in the middle.

Lives on your Mac

Native Mac app that stores your inbox on your laptop, not in our cloud. We don't keep a copy of your email on any server we control. Delete the app, delete the data.

Your data, not ours

Message content goes from your laptop to Google's models (the same company that already handles your Gmail), routed through OpenRouter. Chief of Staff has no server in the loop. We couldn't see it if we wanted to.

You can walk away

No data lock-in. Your inbox stays in Gmail. Your task list lives on your Mac. Delete the app whenever — nothing follows you.

Questions, answered.

Particularly the privacy ones.

Where does my data go?

Your messages stay on your Mac. To find the action items, the relevant text is sent to Google's models: the same company that already handles your Gmail. The request is routed through OpenRouter (a separate service), but Chief of Staff has no server in that loop. Google never uses your messages to train its models.

How does it read my WhatsApp?

It reads the local WhatsApp Desktop database on your Mac, read-only. It never sends messages for you. You just need WhatsApp Desktop installed and logged in.

Does it send email or messages for me?

No — it never sends on your behalf. It can draft a reply for you to review, but you send it yourself from Gmail or WhatsApp.

Why Mac only?

It runs locally on your Mac — that's how it reads the WhatsApp database and keeps your data on your device. An iOS companion for triaging on the go is on the roadmap.

What does it cost?

Free during the private beta.
