Your AI second brain for business. brainmate remembers the people, companies, and projects you tell it about — and asks about the things you haven't mentioned lately. Talk to it like a colleague. It files what matters into an organized workspace of notes you can browse, search, and export anytime. No prompt engineering, no setup, no learning curve. WHAT IT DOES - Chat that captures: mention a person, a deal, a deadline — brainmate writes it down in the right place and confirms what it saved. - Daily Pulse: a short check-in that surfaces what needs attention — stale relationships, open loops, questions worth answering. - A real workspace: every note is plain markdown with links between people, companies, and projects. Browse it, search it, export the whole thing whenever you want. - Reminders that follow through: ask for a nudge and it shows up — completing it updates your notes too. BUILT FOR BUSINESS OWNERS No dashboards to configure. No fields to fill in. You talk; it organizes. It's the assistant that actually remembers last month. YOUR DATA, YOURS Notes are stored securely and belong to you. AI features run only with your consent and can be turned off in Settings. Export everything, anytime. brainmate Solo is $29.99/month after a 2-week free trial. Cancel anytime. Already subscribed on the web? Sign in — no second purchase needed.

About

tagTodo

Features
Read full description

tagTodo is a privacy-first task manager built on one idea: **everything is a tag.** There are no lists, folders, or projects to file things into. A task is just a title and a few tags — #work, #urgent, #waiting, #p1, @home, or a person's name. A task can belong to many contexts at once, so you never have to choose the "one right place" for it. You organize by **querying** the set of tasks with a tiny but powerful set-algebra language: • #today & #open — what's due today and not done • #work & #open & ~#waiting — open work you're not blocked on • (#work | #personal) & #week — this week, across contexts • #p1 & #overdue — high-priority tasks past due • #done & #week — a weekly review of what you finished Operators are simple: & (and), | (or), \ (except), ~ (not), and parentheses. Two tags side by side also mean "and". Save any query as a smart list and see its live count update as you work. AUTOMATIC TAGS Some tags are added for you and usable in any query — no typing required: #open, #done, #overdue, #today, #tomorrow, #week, #nodate, #all, plus time tags from each task's date (#2026, #JUN, #Q2, #FRIDAY, #WEEKEND, #SUMMER…). SEE THE STRUCTURE OF YOUR WORK Every query result comes with a summary (total / open / done / completion % / overdue), an area-proportional Venn diagram of its most common tags, and charts for throughput, created-vs-completed, and your open backlog over time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All data stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking. Export and import your tasks any time as JSON or CSV. BILINGUAL Fully available in English and Vietnamese. tagTodo Pro (optional) unlocks unlimited tags per query. A 7-day free trial is included; monthly, yearly, and lifetime options are available.
