I built Leaves 🌿 — an open-source AI assistant that turns emails into scheduled tasks
I built a productivity app to spend less time using productivity apps 💀 Yep, the irony isn't lost on me. Emails, tasks, meetings, deadlines... everything lives in a different place. And somehow, organizing all of it becomes another task. So I built Leaves 🌿 A free, open-source, local-first deskto
Emails, tasks, meetings, deadlines... everything lives in a different place. And somehow, organizing all of it becomes another task.
A free, open-source, local-first desktop assistant that helps turn scattered commitments into an actual plan.
Less time organizing your life. More time actually living it.
One of the interesting challenges was bundling the Python backend into a standalone macOS app.
No Python, Node.js, or other development tools required to use it.
Leaves is currently available for macOS, completely free and open source.

This is still an early release, and I'd love some genuine feedback.

One question: Would you trust an AI assistant to schedule tasks from your emails automatically, or would you prefer approving them first?
