Naggler is a small app with a few knobs worth explaining. Start with how Naggy's brain works — that's the one people ask most.
Every option runs the same Naggy. They differ in where the thinking happens, who pays for it, and how private the conversation stays. Most people pick Cloud and never look back. Pick whichever fits.
Ready the moment you install. Works out of the box. We cover the compute, served through TokenRouter — a third-party AI gateway running Claude-family models.
Drop in your own API key and Naggy uses that instead. Unlimited use, billed directly to you. Handy if you already have an Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter account, or want full control over the spend.
One-click install flow inside the app. Your conversations never leave your machine — not to us, not to anyone. Perfect if you work on sensitive material or just prefer the old-school magic of running your own model.
You can switch between any of these at any time in Settings → Brain. Your task ledger stays local and untouched either way.
No. There's no sign-up, no newsletter, no email gate. Download Naggler, launch it, and you're running. Your task ledger is stored locally on your machine.
Naggler itself is free during beta. If you use Naggler Cloud, we cover the compute — you pay nothing. If you Bring Your Own Key, you pay your model provider directly (usually pennies per day). If you run Ollama locally, it's free — you're using your own hardware.
Your task ledger — the list of things you said mattered and the check-ins you answer — lives on your disk and never leaves unless you export it. The only data that leaves is the brief AI conversation when you talk to Naggy, and only if you're on Cloud or BYOK. On Ollama, nothing leaves at all.
Windows 10+, macOS, and Linux x86_64. Naggler is desktop-only — there's no mobile app, and that's intentional. The tray icon on your desktop is the product.
Windows builds are signed with Azure Artifact Signing. Very new releases can still trip a SmartScreen reputation warning while install volume builds, but the unknown-publisher wall is no longer the expected path. macOS downloads are published only after Developer ID signing, notarization, and stapling pass; if you're testing a private pre-notarized build, macOS may still ask you to right-click → Open. Checksums are on our GitHub releases page if you want to verify the binary yourself.
Yep. Cleared public builds are published on the latest release page with checksums and signatures. Windows, macOS, and Linux are all live. The download buttons on the home page pull from the same place; GitHub just gives you the direct artifact list and release notes.
Yes. Naggler's ledger is a local file you own. You can export check-ins, rankings, and session history to CSV or JSON from Settings → Export. No lock-in, nothing held hostage.
Yes, if you pick Ollama. The core tracking loop — set priorities, answer pings, review your day — works without a network either way. You only need a connection when you're talking to Naggy on Cloud or BYOK.
No. We don't sell user data. We don't train models on your conversations. Full stop. See our privacy policy for the detailed version.
