Your day is spread over a dozen channels. Tickets in Jira. Mail in Outlook, Gmail and that old T-Online account. Chats
in Teams, WhatsApp and Signal. Review comments in GitLab. Two calendars. A letter with a file number. A bank statement
you keep meaning to look at. Somewhere in all of that is the one message you should answer today — and the promise
you made last Tuesday.
You shouldn't have to turn that into a todo list by hand. Zeff does. It reads every channel, locally, and derives
your todos from what actually comes in: who asked you for what, by when, in which message — and what already happened
since. A reply you sent, a ticket that moved, a payment that arrived: the todo settles itself. What's left is one calm
list, each item with its sources, its reason and a ready-made action.
Outlook · Gmail · IMAP/POP3 ───┐
Teams · WhatsApp · Signal ─────┤ ┌────────────────────────────────────┐
Jira · GitLab reviews ─────────┼──► read · understood ───►│ Your todos │
Calendars · documents · bank ──┤ matched · deduped │ why · from where · by when · next │
Workspace · journal · agents ──┘ └────────────────────────────────────┘
Around that list sits everything you need to work it off: a mail client and chat view, a Notion-like workspace, AI
agents that take todos over in your own repos, and a Studio to build whatever else you need.
- 📥 Every channel in, one list out. Todos are a derivation of everything that arrives — not another inbox to
feed by hand.
- 🏠 Local first, for real. A server on
127.0.0.1, a desktop launcher, one SQLite file per account. No cloud
account, no OAuth app to approve: connectors read the web apps you are already signed in to.
- ✋ It never acts behind your back. Automatic steps only read and propose; every write — a message, a comment,
a booking — happens on your click. A test enforces it.
- 🤖 Agents that actually work. Claude Code, Codex and Copilot run on your todos with live sessions, worktrees,
diffs and delivery — and they can ask you when they need a decision.
- 🔒 Privacy you can see. Every source and database carries a sensitivity (open, personal, secret) that the AI,
the knowledge server, agents and MCP all respect.

Extensions
Everything in Zeff is an extension (a plugin) you turn on or off on Menu → Plugins. Each has a page in the docs
with what it does, how to set it up, its settings and screenshots — follow the link. All of them: docs/extensions.
