Postal unlocks key insights

Daily Briefings

AI

Every morning, the AI reviews your tasks, calendar, and overdue items — and briefs you with action steps before you start working.

Active Recall

AI

A semantic index of everything you write. Mention a topic and Postal surfaces your own past thinking, connected to notes you forgot you had.

Background Research

AI

Ask the AI to look into something. It searches the web, synthesizes findings, and saves a note — while you keep working.

Web Monitoring

Automation

Watch any URL for meaningful changes — product pages, competitor moves, job listings, policy updates. Postal checks and summarizes what changed.

Voice Input

Interface

Tap the mic, speak, done. Local transcription — no audio leaves your machine.

Scriptable AI

Power

The AI writes and executes JavaScript against your data in a sandbox. Bulk operations, cross-referencing, statistical summaries.

Calendar Integration

Productivity

Google Calendar events alongside tasks, conflict detection, push due dates to your calendar.

Configurable Engagement

AI

Three modes: proactive (chief of staff), helpful (on-demand), passive (silent until asked).

Smart Reminders

AI

AI sets reminders based on context, not just dates you manually pick.

Agent Compatible

Integration NEW

Every workspace is readable by Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any AI with file access. The format is documented in AGENT.md.

Crafted with love by an indie developer

I'm Kirill Zubovsky. Remembering unimportant things was never my strength. AI, on the other hand, is designed for this. Wouldn't it be wonderful to offload your workload to an agent, and watch them do the work? I thought so too, so I made Postal.

The Best Investment in the Agentic AI Era

Postal is the command center AI agents can actually use end to end. It combines local-first storage, built-in AI, and an open file format so agents can help users plan, research, and execute without lock-in.

As autonomous workflows become mainstream, teams and individuals need private, machine-readable context that survives model and vendor changes. Postal is designed for that layer: markdown + JSON on disk, scriptable workflows, and compatibility with major AI tooling.

Why this matters now:

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Postal different from other task apps?

Postal is AI-native from the ground up. It doesn't just have an AI chat bolted on — the AI is your daily companion that does briefings, runs background research, monitors websites, catches calendar conflicts, and proactively nudges you. Everything is stored as plain Markdown and JSON files, so any AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) can read and write your tasks without plugins or APIs.

Can other AIs actually manage my tasks in Postal?

Yes. Because everything lives in real files on your computer, tools like Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT Advanced Voice, GitHub Copilot, and custom scripts can create, update, complete, and organize tasks by simply reading and writing files. The open format is documented in AGENT.md. No special integration required.

Does Postal work completely offline?

Yes for core task and note management. All your data lives in a folder you choose. AI features currently require an internet connection (you can bring your own xAI API key), but full local model support is on the roadmap. You can use Postal entirely offline today if you don't need the AI layer.

How does sync and sharing work?

You can point your workspace at any synced folder (Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, Syncthing, or even git). Postal also has built-in Dropbox integration for direct sharing — you can invite team members with owner/editor/viewer permissions. Shared projects stay in sync via the official Dropbox desktop client.

What about Google Calendar?

Postal has deep calendar integration. It shows your events alongside tasks, detects conflicts with due dates, lets you add tasks to your calendar with one click, and includes today's meetings in your daily briefing. It uses the open-source gws CLI under the hood.

Where is my data actually stored?

Everything lives in a regular folder on your computer that you choose. Tasks are Markdown files with metadata in JSON. No proprietary database, no cloud lock-in. You can open, edit, back up, or version-control the files with any tool you like.

How does the AI actually help me every day?

It gives you a morning briefing with overdue items, calendar conflicts, and suggested focus areas. It runs background research, monitors websites for changes, sets smart reminders, and can execute JavaScript against your data in a safe sandbox. You can set it to "proactive", "helpful", or "passive" mode.

As of the last update, Postal can also read and write your Gmail for you, based on your notes, ideas, and prious communication.
