Local-first, on your Mac

Know what to do next. In every part of your life.

IKARUS turns what you want into goals with real milestones, tells you which one deserves your next hour, and takes the repeating work off your hands. Not so you get more done. So the things you care about stop slipping.

Direction is a short list, not a dashboard.

Five things, ranked, with the reason each one is there. You open the app and the question of what to do next is already answered.

The IKARUS Today view with the Morning Brief open, showing calendar, priorities, goals and a proposed automation as separate boxes.
Assembled on your machine from your own calendar, mail and goals.
The Direction card: five ranked items, each with the reason it was ranked and Done, Pin and Dismiss controls.
It says why. Pin what you have decided matters, dismiss the rest for the day.
The Goals view: a goal broken into an ordered roadmap of milestones, some marked done.
Wants become roadmaps. Progress counts only what is actually finished.

The rest of your life gets ranked too.

Every goal belongs to a life area and Direction weighs all of them together. Which is how the long run ends up top of the list on the day you would have dropped it.

The life areas a goal can belong to, straight from the app.

Then it clears what gets in the way.

Some of what fills your week is not the life you meant to live, it is the same twenty minutes of admin repeated. When IKARUS sees a real pattern it offers to take it over, with the evidence that produced it.

Nothing runs until you read the steps and enable it.

How a proposal becomes an automation

The Automations view: a proposed automation awaiting review above the list of saved workflows.
Dismiss is permanent for that pattern. Snooze brings it back in a week.

Observe. Explain. Ask. Execute.

Something that sees your whole life has to be worth trusting with it. Every capability runs behind the same four stages, and you grant them one level at a time.

I

Observe

It watches the surfaces you connect and notices what needs attention. At this level it can look, and only look.

II

Explain

Before acting, it states what it found and what it intends to do, on the record.

III

Ask

Anything consequential stops and waits for your yes, in Needs you at the top of Today.

IV

Execute

It does the work, and every action lands in a ledger you can read.

How the permission model works

All of it stays on your machine.

Handing something your goals, your calendar and your habits only makes sense if it is not also handing them to a company. Your data lives in plain files on your Mac. No account, so no copy anywhere else, and the privacy inventory lists every store on disk.

Everything logged Every tool call passes one gate and lands in Action History, including the blocked ones.
Autonomy is earned It starts cautious. You loosen its permissions class by class, and you can pull them back.
An emergency stop One hold control halts running plans and refuses risky calls until you say otherwise.

What is underneath it.

Six systems behind the short list, all running.
