Systems โ€“ Never Forget a Step Again Most mistakes do not happen because you do not know what to do. They happen because one small step gets missed. You leave for work and forget your charger. You hand over a rental property and forget to photograph the utility meters. You prepare an Airbnb and forget to restock the coffee. You launch a website and forget to test the contact form. You deliver a client project and forget to send the invoice. Systems helps you capture repeatable workflows so nothing gets overlooked. Instead of relying on memory, sticky notes, scattered documents, or rebuilding the same checklist over and over, create a System once and run it whenever you need it. A System can be anything: โ€ข A morning routine โ€ข A travel packing list โ€ข A client onboarding process โ€ข An Airbnb turnover workflow โ€ข A website launch checklist โ€ข A restaurant opening procedure โ€ข A monthly bookkeeping process Why Systems Works To-do lists are for one-time tasks. Systems are for things you do repeatedly. When a process is written down, you do not have to remember every step. Just follow the System and focus on getting it done. How It Works 1. Create a System from a repeatable process 2. Break it into clear, actionable steps 3. Run it whenever you need it 4. Check off progress as you go 5. Improve your workflow over time Features โ€ข Reusable checklist Systems โ€ข Daily progress tracking โ€ข Calendar and timeline views โ€ข Categories, favorites, and search โ€ข Shareable links and deep links โ€ข Import and export support โ€ข Calendar integration โ€ข iCloud Sync (Beta) Built for People Who Think in Systems Pilots use checklists.

Pidge is the messenger between you and your AI agents. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, cron jobs, CI โ€” any agent or script can send rich, actionable notifications to your iPhone, and you answer right from the Lock Screen. Your answer flows back to the agent in about a second, and it resumes working. YOUR AGENTS, FINALLY REACHABLE โ€ข Finished work lands as readable reports โ€” Markdown with tables, images, real files (PDF, CSV, XLSX) โ€ข Decisions arrive as buttons: approve, deny, snooze, or type a reply โ€” without opening the app โ€ข A real two-way conversation per agent: threads, replies, delivery checkmarks, "listening now" โ€ข Voice notes, on-device dictation and photo markup โ€” reply like a human, your agent gets it as data DELIVERY YOU CONTROL โ€ข Five delivery types: quiet messages, time-sensitive banners, urgent alarms that ring through Silent and Focus if you don't answer, event countdowns, and live progress cards โ€ข All your running agents share ONE Live Activity status card โ€” never a pile of banners โ€ข Per-channel ceilings: agents can request urgency; your policy decides โ€ข Sensitive actions (deploys, payments, deletions) can require Face ID โ€” gated actions never appear as Lock Screen buttons BUILT FOR AGENTS โ€ข One pasted prompt sets an agent up โ€” the API is self-documenting โ€ข Works with the CLI (npx pidge-cli), plain HTTP, webhooks, or WebSockets โ€ข Snooze is server-owned and durable โ€” it survives agent restarts โ€ข Every send is attributed: a stable persona per session, visible handoffs when a new session takes over PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข Optional sealed channels: titles, bodies, replies and action labels end-to-end encrypted on-device โ€ข We don't read your content, don't train models on it, don't sell data โ€ข Delete your account and all its data anytime, right in the app Every account starts with 30 days of full Pro, free โ€” no payment required. SUBSCRIPTIONS Pidge Base โ€” $2.99/month or $19.99/year: unlimited notifications, up to 10 active channels. Pidge Pro โ€” $5.99/month or $49.99/year: unlimited channels, group channels (invite other people), per-channel delivery tuning. Payment is charged to your Apple Account.
