Major

AI-powered · Major is watching you

Your to-do list needs a Major.

An AI-powered task tracker for people who never got on with task trackers. Tell Major your plans and he turns them into tasks, picks one thing to do next and says why. Drift off to YouTube during a session and he notices. The AI runs on your Mac.

For Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 26. Early build, used daily by its author.

Major, an android officer with a moustache, watching
Tue 20:45 · evening session

16 minutes on YouTube. The code won't write itself.

On your desk

He doesn't wait in a tab.

Major lives in the corner of your screen. When something is due he peeks out from behind the edge, then slides in with one line and a few buttons.

The first reminderHe peeks out with a "Psst…", ducks back, then says what's due. Later reminders skip the peek.
When you driftSix minutes on a video site during a session and he's at your shoulder. One click takes you back to work.

First launch

Five minutes with the Major.

No setup screens. First you pick your officer and he tells you exactly what he thinks of your procrastination. Answer "Yes, Sir!" out loud. Then Major asks when you work and what you keep putting off, and lays out your week.

The briefing: Major asks what you keep putting off, with answers as buttons
The briefingMostly buttons. Type your own answer if none of them fits.
The proposed week: routines on free evenings, projects on their own days, work hours shaded
Your weekRoutines go on free evenings, projects get their own days, and work hours stay quiet.

Inside the app

Yesterday, today, tomorrow.

One window for everything you've promised yourself. Anything overdue stays red until you do it or move it.

Overview: overdue, today and tomorrow columns with Major's line on top Week view with an overdue strip and seven day columns Month view: a calendar grid with up to three items per day

Overview: what slipped, what's on today, what's next. Urgent first, then project priority, then time.

Three pop-ups on the desktop: an offer to start, a distraction nudge and a question about a messenger
Three kinds of nudgeHe offers a task when you're free, calls out drifting, and asks before judging a messenger.
Character settings: Major or Matilda, and polite, strict or hardcore manner
Pick your officerMajor or Matilda. Polite, strict, or hardcore with swearing (18+).

Rank and file

Earn your stripes.

You start as a Private. A week with nothing missed puts you up a rank. Miss something and you drop: three ranks for an urgent task, two for a normal one, one for a small one. Moving a date before it's missed costs nothing.

Promotion, warning and demotion pop-ups from the Major
Promotion, warning, demotionThe ladder goes up to Captain. The Major's rank is taken.

Service report

Statistics: focused versus procrastinated hours by day, focus score, streak, time per project and top distractions
