About

Hime

Features
Read full description

Hime is a personal planner for your tasks, notes, events and files. It also works with the AI agent you already use, and you both see the same workspace. Without a plan, Hime is a task tracker on your phone: tasks, notes, Today, the Backlog, the Library and your calendar, with soft limits on projects, notes and storage. Agents, the web app and the desktop need a plan. Tasks: everything new lands in one Inbox until you sort it. A note becomes a task, a link gets filed, a task goes to the Backlog or onto a day. One tap switches between Inbox and Backlog. Today: your day on one card. Events and scheduled tasks on a timeline, a live line showing where you are, and that day's journal note underneath. Yesterday and tomorrow sit on either side. Library: a personal wiki in nested folders, one tap away as a sheet. Markdown notes, bookmarks, files and photos, with previews for PDF, Office documents and HTML. Top-level folders are projects, and tasks can belong to one. Link any item to any other and see the backlinks on both ends. Your agent Hime gives you a setup command. Paste it into an AI tool you already run, such as Claude Code or Codex, and it joins your workspace under its own identity, which you can revoke at any time. Hime doesn't supply the model. You bring the agent you already trust. Your agent can create tasks, add to notes, read your Inbox and ask you questions. Questions show up in your Inbox for you to answer later. It keeps working when your phone is closed. A credential vault on your device holds the logins an agent needs. Face ID is required before anything is shown. Everything syncs live. A change on your phone shows up in the web app and the command-line tool as you watch, and the other way round. Your events sync to a dedicated Hime calendar on your iPhone, so nothing else on your device is touched. Markdown everywhere, search across everything, dark mode. Edits merge cleanly, so an agent writing into a note while you edit it doesn't lose either change. Plans Plus connects your own agent through the Hime command-line tool, adds the web app, and lifts the soft limits. Pro is Plus plus a hosted agent that Hime runs for you, with chat, voice, live calls and a desktop you can watch. You connect your own AI provider account. Hime doesn't supply the model. On the App Store, Plus and Pro are monthly subscriptions. In the US, you can also choose a weekly plan, paid through Stripe in your browser. App Store subscriptions renew automatically each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple Account settings.
