Outbox

Outbox started as frustration with task apps that treat a due date as metadata. Here the calendar is the primary surface: a split-pane Today view puts your list beside an hour-by-hour day, and dragging a task onto a slot makes the commitment real. Donna, a voice and text assistant, reads plain language on-device — no API call, no round trip. Everything lives locally with no backend and no account.

• Drag-to-schedule
  List and calendar share one canvas. Drop a task on an hour and it becomes a time block; drop it on a week and it takes a due date.
• Donna
  A capture bar that takes speech or text. A local regex parser handles five intents — add, schedule, complete, delete, move — with fuzzy title matching.
• Month as density
  Each date renders as a small SVG donut ring: completed against total due. The month reads as pressure, not as a grid of numbers.
• Context mode
  A Personal/Work pill that switches itself against your configured hours and days. No manual toggle to forget.
• Elastic recurrence
  Daily, weekly, and monthly tasks spawn their next occurrence on completion rather than sitting as a repeating row.
• Read-only calendar merge
  Apple Calendar events appear alongside your own blocks in day and week view. Outbox never writes back.
