Open a page. Start anywhere.
Give your workspace a name and begin with a note. No login or recording permissions stand between you and your writing. Link a project page, jot down an idea, or plan the day.
YOUR FIRST DAY, AND THE NEXT
A note is enough. A conversation adds context. A reviewed action gives you somewhere to go next.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
A good conversation with Priya. We’re keeping things simple.
The direction feels right: a warmer palette, a quieter homepage, and more space for the work to speak for itself.

Give your workspace a name and begin with a note. No login or recording permissions stand between you and your writing. Link a project page, jot down an idea, or plan the day.
Choose a conversation or voice note and your audio source. Ask participants before recording. Install the supported speech assets when prompted; no recording is needed if you’d rather type.
Review the transcript and suggested actions. Check the speaker, owner, due date and source. Accept what is useful and dismiss what isn’t. AI output is a starting point, not a decision made for you.
Find what you owe in Actions and what you’re waiting on in People. Follow the source back to the conversation or note. The next time you speak, the open work is there to return to.
LOCAL IS THE STARTING POINT
Notes, transcripts and actions are saved in a workspace on your Mac. The local workflow doesn’t need a FocusBae account or server.
Supported speech and AI run on-device. Some models need an explicit download first; available features depend on your Mac and language.
You start recording and review suggested actions. Strict Local mode also blocks app network requests, including model downloads.
Local storage isn’t a claim of app-level encryption. Protect your Mac and keep your own backups. Understand the details
