ai-org — AI-Powered Org-Mode Task Manager | Plaintext Life Management

Features

◈.AI

Built on opencode

Forked from opencode with a purpose-built org agenda, custom workflows, and a completely new build designed for ai-org.

{TODO}

Org-Mode Native

TODOs, deadlines, habits, clocking, tags. Full org-mode syntax with AI that handles the details.

.GetText

Plaintext First

Your data lives in .org files. Version-controlled with git. No vendor lock-in. Ever.

⌃C.Local

Local-First

Everything stays on your machine. Use local models if you want your data to never leave.

git.log

Git Synced

Every change is a commit. Full history, rollbacks, and mobile access via any git client.

→.Do

Do Over Plan

The system exists to move things to DONE — not to organize endlessly. Action over perfection.

Workflow

A workflow that actually works
