01
First run
Start from a blank page, or a single sentence.
Describe a task you spend time on and Margaret drafts a helper for you — or build one yourself. No setup ceremony, no empty dashboard staring back.
Easy, secure, local agents
Margaret's helpersget things done
Turn the work you repeat into small, private AI helpers — saved on your own computer, run on your terms.

See what a helper actually does.
A one-minute tour: what an “agent” really is, and how a single helper quietly takes a repeated task off your plate.

AI is useful. Rebuilding the same prompt every time is not.
Most people use AI by pasting context into a chat window, tweaking the same prompt, and hoping the result is consistent. Agent builders promise more power, but often feel made for technical users.
Margaret gives you a simpler middle ground: small reusable AI helpers for the jobs you already repeat.
From messy task to reusable helper in minutes.
1
Create a helper
Tell Margaret what you want help with. She turns it into a reusable helper with inputs, instructions, and an output format.
2
Give it an input
Paste in text, fill a short form, or point to a local file — the same way every time.
3
Get your output
Margaret runs your helper and saves the result to your computer as a readable text file.
4
Improve over time
Ask Margaret what's vague, missing, or unclear. Apply suggested edits, then reuse the better version.
Create helpers for the work you repeat.
Helpers, not prompts
Write the instructions once in plain English. No re-explaining every time, no copy-pasting the same prompt into a chat window. Margaret remembers how you like things done.
Runs locally, saves locally
Everything lives in a folder on your Mac. Your helper library, your inputs, your run history — all readable files on your own machine. No cloud sync, no accounts, no subscription required for the app itself.
You stay in control
Nothing happens automatically. You decide when Margaret works. Before any run, you can see exactly what will be sent to the AI. You can edit, cancel, or improve any helper at any time.
A look inside
Built to feel calm, not clever.
A quiet, local desktop app where your helpers live. Dark by default, legible always.
02
Helper detail
Every helper, fully in view.
Pick the model, see the cost, fill the inputs, and run. The instructions you wrote once sit right there — readable, editable, yours.
03
Tune up
Improve a helper without starting over.
Tell Margaret what to change and she revises the instructions in place. Your helpers get sharper the more you use them.
04
Workflows
Chain helpers into a repeatable run.
Connect several helpers into a workflow for the work your week repeats — research into brief, notes into actions, transcript into summary.
Local-first
Built for people who care where their work goes.
Margaret stores your helpers, inputs, and run history on your computer. When a helper needs AI, Margaret sends the required content to the model provider you choose — using your own API key.
- Your helper library lives on your machine
- Your API key is stored securely in your system keychain
- You can inspect what a helper will send before running it
- You can open, back up, and edit your Markdown files yourself
Margaret is local-first, not magic. If you use a cloud AI provider, the text needed for that run is sent to that provider. We're upfront about this — it's in the app before every run.
Free to start. Yours to keep.
