Task

Task Bert is a private AI assistant designed for macOS users to intelligently manage their text messages. It allows users to ask questions about their message history, recover specific details, and convert vague plans mentioned in conversations into structured to-dos and calendar events directly from their Mac. The tool aims to help users stay organized and ensure important information from their messages doesn't get overlooked. What sets Task Bert apart is its strong emphasis on privacy. It operates entirely locally on the user's Mac, indexing messages in an embedded database without uploading, storing remotely, or sharing any data. For AI features like summarization and action item extraction, users provide their own API key for services like Claude (Anthropic) or OpenAI, ensuring that message content is only sent directly to the chosen LLM provider and never stored on Bert's servers. This makes it ideal for users who prioritize data privacy and want to leverage AI for message management without compromising security.
