## About

Pippin is a Mac to-do app that reads text from open windows through macOS Accessibility and turns relevant requests, follow-ups, and unfinished work into tasks. It updates items as conversations change and can close them when work is complete, so the list stays current without manual entry.

Tasks are saved on your Mac, with recent items kept separate from your main list. Pippin uses your ChatGPT plan, a Claude API key, or an OpenRouter key, and does not record screenshots, video, or audio. It is designed for people who lose track of requests across email, Slack, documents, and other Mac apps.
