The Mac app can run as a local workspace, so your board exists even before you sign in or connect anything.
Local-first AI task manager for Mac
A local-first AI task manager for Mac, markdown, and agents
runnrr is a Mac task board for people who want AI help without moving their work into another cloud workspace. Tasks, notes, and files stay local by default.
Short answer
Yes, runnrr is built for this workflow.
runnrr is local-first by default. The Mac app stores tasks in a local database, keeps notes and files as markdown on disk, and lets Claude Code or Codex run locally under your own account.
That makes it useful when the work is private, messy, or spread across local files. You can still connect Granola or sync when you choose, but the core board does not require a cloud account.
Why it fits
The board keeps the work, the source, and the agent in one place
Markdown you own
Notes and task context are plain files on disk. You can open them in runnrr, your editor, Obsidian, git, or an AI agent.
Agents stay yours
Claude Code and Codex run on your Mac through the accounts and tools you already use. runnrr gives them the work context.

FAQ
Questions people ask before trying it
Does runnrr work offline?
Yes. The Mac app is designed to work locally. Integrations and optional sync need network access, but the board itself can live on your Mac.
Where does runnrr store my data?
Tasks live in a local database and notes live as markdown files in folders you choose. Optional sync and integrations are separate choices.
Can I use runnrr with Obsidian or git?
Yes. Because notes are markdown files on disk, you can keep them in a folder used by other tools, including Obsidian or a git repository.
