Description
Most people juggle a dozen apps a day — Slack, email, video calls, docs — and lose track of what was said where. AirJelly runs quietly in the background on your computer, watching what you're working on, and turns that scattered activity into one searchable timeline: every task, meeting note and promise you made, findable later without having to remember which app it happened in.
AirJelly is a local-first, always-on desktop agent for macOS (Windows and Linux are in development) that monitors cross-app activity — Slack, Zoom, Google Docs, Calendar, email — to build a living work timeline. It auto-captures tasks mentioned in conversations or meetings, generates end-of-day summary reports, and proactively surfaces follow-ups and reminders before you'd think to look for them. All processing happens locally on-device rather than in the cloud, which matters for anyone wary of sending screen activity to a third-party server. It's aimed at product managers, founders, engineers, researchers and anyone drowning in cross-app context.
💬 Our review
The short version: AirJelly is a proactive second brain that watches your screen so you don't have to keep notes — it remembers meetings, tasks and decisions across apps and resurfaces them when you need them.
The standout choice is running entirely on-device rather than shipping your screen activity to the cloud, which is the right call for a tool that by design sees everything you do — a cloud-based competitor doing the same thing would be a much harder privacy sell. The proactive angle (surfacing follow-ups before you ask) is also a genuine differentiator versus passive note-taking apps like Notion or Obsidian, which only give you back what you explicitly wrote down. The honest caveats: it's macOS-only today, so Windows and Linux users are locked out until those ports ship; it's a young, unproven product competing in a space where Rewind.ai and Microsoft Recall are backed by much larger teams and distribution; and 'watches everything you do all day' is inherently a tool you have to trust, track record notwithstanding. Currently free with no announced pricing, so there's no cost risk to trying it if you're on a Mac — the real question is whether you're comfortable with always-on screen monitoring, even local-only.
