StickyInc
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@StickyIncadd a task to call the dentist this Friday"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

the chat the pane
evaporates at close lives in ~/.stickyinc foreverThe idea
Every LLM overlay on the market follows the same shape: summon → ask → dismiss. You pop a window, ask a thing, close it, and within an hour the answer has evaporated from your brain and the tab. The model is a disposable oracle; you are the durable storage.
StickyInc inverts that. Chats are cheap and ephemeral; the commitment graph you build from them over months — the promises, deadlines, quiet todos you let slip into conversation — is the part that actually compounds. Nobody was storing it.
So StickyInc does two things, and refuses to do anything else:
1 ▸ catches the commitments
───────────────────────
when you tell an LLM "call the dentist friday", an MCP tool
call fires and a checkbox appears on your screen. no
copy-paste, no "remind me later", no second tab.
2 ▸ keeps them in front of you
──────────────────────────
an 8-pixel strip lives on the right edge of your screen.
hover to expand, click to tick off. the file behind it is
a local SQLite database you own outright — swap LLMs, swap
laptops, the graph comes with you.Everything else — chat UI, OAuth flows, cloud sync, a mobile app — is intentionally out of scope. StickyInc is a reification layer. The LLM is the CPU; the pane is the canvas.

Install
Pre-built binaries ship from every tagged release. Signed and notarized builds arrive in v0.6 (see SIGNING.md for the plan).
Platform | File | Notes |
macOS (Apple Silicon) |
| ad-hoc signed; Gatekeeper will warn |
Windows (x64) — installer |
| NSIS, unsigned — SmartScreen will warn |
Windows (x64) — MSI |
| for group-policy deployment |
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) |
|
|
Linux (RPM/Fedora) |
|
|
Linux (portable) |
|

First launch pops a one-minute setup wizard: pick an LLM provider, paste a key, confirm the MCP registration. No terminal commands.
Quickstart
Already have an installer running? Open any Claude Desktop or Claude Code session and say:
I need to call the dentist Friday afternoon.
The task appears in your pane before Claude finishes its reply.
Quick-add without a chat
While the pane is running, press ⌘⇧N (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows/Linux). A centered input appears — type, hit Enter, done. Inline dates work: buy bread due:2026-04-25.
MCP tools
Tool | What it does |
| Add a todo. Optional |
| Parse free text ("call dentist Friday 3pm") via the configured LLM. |
| Return open tasks; silently appends |
| Return recently completed tasks, optional archive. |
| Mark a task done. |
| Create a dated local task. Calendar sync is deferred to Claude's own connector (see below). |
LLM providers
add_task_natural and the passive extraction daemon work with any of:
Provider | How it authenticates | Detected via | Default model |
Claude Code — your Claude Max / Pro subscription, no API key | local |
|
|
Codex (ChatGPT) — your ChatGPT Plus / Pro / Team subscription, no API key | local |
| whatever |
Gemini — your Google account (Gemini Advanced quota or free tier), no API key | local |
| whatever |
Local (Ollama / LM Studio) — fully offline, free, no cloud call at all | — |
| first installed model |
OpenRouter — one key, ~200 models, cheapest per token | API key |
|
|
Anthropic (direct) | API key (console.anthropic.com) |
|
|
OpenAI (direct) | API key (platform.openai.com) |
|
|
OpenAI-compatible (Groq, Together, Fireworks, vLLM…) | API key | config file | — |
Zero-config path
Whatever you already pay for, StickyInc will use it. If any of these are set up on your machine, no key or config is needed:
Claude Code (
claudeCLI) — bills to your Claude Max / Pro subscriptionOpenAI Codex CLI (
codex) — bills to your ChatGPT Plus / Pro / Team subscriptionGemini CLI (
gemini) — uses your Google account (Gemini Advanced if you have it)Ollama or LM Studio running locally — fully free, no cloud round-trip
Each subscription CLI call shells out to the tool's print mode (claude -p / codex exec / gemini -p); expect ~1s of subprocess startup per parse. Local-server calls are direct HTTP and cost nothing. Prefer an API key anyway? export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-... and it wins over auto-detect.

A note on subscription-mode tradeoffs
Both claude-code and codex providers run a subprocess per call (~500ms–1s of overhead) and share the user's subscription rate limits. For interactive quick-add and the once-per-turn passive daemon this is imperceptible; if you end up in a tight extraction loop, configure a direct API provider instead. Subscription routes also mean StickyInc never touches your auth tokens — they stay in whatever state directory the CLI manages (~/.claude/, ~/.codex/).
Passive extraction (opt-in)
A daemon that tails your Claude Code transcripts and auto-surfaces commitments you mention in passing.
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
cd ~/stickyinc && pnpm watchWatches
~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl(Claude Code session files).For each new user turn (add
--assistantto include Claude's turns), calls the configured LLM to extract commitments.De-dupes via content fingerprint — "call the dentist" won't insert twice if still open.
Ignores hypotheticals and past tense. Empty extractions are free (no DB write).
Privacy: every watched turn is sent to your configured LLM provider. Off by default; you decide when to turn it on.
Calendar — by design, we defer to Claude
StickyInc intentionally doesn't ship its own Google OAuth flow. It's the single hardest setup step in the entire product surface, and Claude Desktop already has a battle-tested Google Calendar connector built in.
When you want a real calendar event, ask Claude in the same turn. schedule_event stores the dated task in StickyInc; Claude creates the calendar entry via its own connector. One less thing for you to set up, one less place your tokens live.

Roadmap
[x] v0.1 MCP server, SQLite, four tools.
[x] v0.2 Tauri edge-strip pane.
[x] v0.3 Recently-done + Archive drawer, list_done, CI,
LLMProvider (Anthropic + OpenRouter + OpenAI-compat),
add_task_natural.
[x] v0.4 Passive extraction daemon, fingerprint dedup,
done-today feedback in list_tasks.
[x] v0.5 Global ⌘⇧N quick-add window, full icon set,
one-click setup wizard, tagged release builds
for macOS / Windows / Linux.
[x] v0.5.1 Subscription-mode providers (Claude Code, Codex,
Gemini, Ollama/LM Studio) with zero-key auto-detect.
Sidebar hidden until setup is done — subtle bulge
notifications for new tasks, due crossings, and
incomplete setup.
[ ] v0.6 ▸ in-app auto-updater (check + download + install
signed bundles on launch; users never miss a fix)
▸ wizard reworked to detect claude / codex / gemini
CLIs and offer zero-key "use my subscription" as
the default; API key becomes the fallback, not
the front door
▸ signed + notarized macOS installer, signed MSI on
Windows (see SIGNING.md)
▸ UUID task IDs + append-only event log — unlocks
multi-device sync, undo, and audit history. Done
on desktop regardless of mobile, because the
migration is scary later and free now.
[ ] v0.7 ▸ phone access without an app: desktop pane serves
a read-only LAN web view over HTTPS — bookmark
it on your phone, no store review, no sync engine
▸ per-project tasks (separate DBs per Claude Code
workspace), weekly digest, menu-bar quick-add
[ ] v0.8+ ▸ native mobile (Tauri 2 iOS + Android) — viewer,
quickadd, share-sheet, voice capture via Siri /
Assistant Shortcuts
▸ LAN sync over mDNS + self-signed TLS + QR
pairing (LocalSend-style). No relay, no backend.
Filesystem sync (iCloud / Dropbox / Syncthing)
remains the documented "away from home" path.License

Available Tools
6 toolsadd_taskAdd TaskA
Add a todo to StickyInc. The user sees it appear in their floating pane.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| text | Yes | The task text, e.g. 'Call the dentist' | |
| due_at | No | Optional ISO 8601 datetime when this is due, e.g. '2026-04-24T15:00:00Z' |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description includes the effect of immediate UI appearance, but lacks details on side effects, limits, or error handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two efficient sentences with front-loaded purpose and behavioral context, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a simple 2-param tool with no output schema; covers purpose and key effect, though missing error or limit info.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters; description adds no extra meaning beyond schema examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'Add', resource 'todo to StickyInc', and user-facing effect 'appears in floating pane'. Distinct from sibling add_task_natural.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use vs alternatives like add_task_natural or when prerequisites apply.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
add_task_naturalAdd Task (natural language)A
Parse a free-text phrase like 'call dentist Friday 3pm' into a task with optional due date, using the configured LLM (Anthropic/OpenRouter/OpenAI).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | Yes | Free-text phrase like 'call dentist Friday 3pm' or 'buy bread'. Will be parsed by the configured LLM. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Mentions LLM usage but omits crucial behavior: whether it actually creates the task or just returns parsed data, error handling, side effects. No annotations to supplement.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with examples and provider context, no filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-param tool, description is mostly adequate but lacks return value and error expectations, making it slightly incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with description. Description adds LLM parsing context but doesn't significantly improve understanding beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it parses free-text into a task with optional due date using an LLM. Distinguishes from sibling 'add_task' which likely uses structured input.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage when natural language input is available, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor mention of alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
complete_taskComplete TaskA
Mark a StickyInc task done by id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | The task id to mark complete |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It indicates a mutation (mark done) but does not mention side effects, permissions required, success/failure behavior, or whether the action is reversible. The transparency is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is nearly complete. It could add minor details about behavior (e.g., what happens on success/failure), but it covers the essential action.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's parameter description ('The task id to mark complete'). It does not compensate or provide additional context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('mark done'), the resource ('StickyInc task'), and the method ('by id'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like add_task, list_tasks, etc., which perform different operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when a task needs to be marked complete, but it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any prerequisites. The context is implied rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_doneList DoneA
List recently completed StickyInc tasks, with optional archive of older completions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| hours | No | Show tasks completed within the last N hours. Default: 24. | |
| include_archive | No | Also include older completions (up to 100 rows). Default: false. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description must bear full burden. It only hints at read-only behavior by 'list' verb but does not disclose any traits beyond what is in the schema (e.g., read-only, auth, rate limits).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence of 12 words, front-loaded with key information. Every part is necessary and no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with two optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential behavior. Could mention default time window or result limits, but overall adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with clear descriptions for 'hours' and 'include_archive'. Description merely echoes 'recently completed' and 'optional archive', adding no extra meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'list', resource 'completed tasks', and scope 'recently' with optional archive. It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_tasks' and 'complete_task' by focusing on done tasks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit comparison to sibling tools or conditions for use. Agent must infer that this is for completed tasks, but no when-not or alternative guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_tasksList TasksB
List open StickyInc tasks (or all, with include_completed=true).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_completed | No | If true, include completed tasks. Default: false (open tasks only). | |
| limit | No | Max number of rows when include_completed is true. Default: 50. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses the effect of 'include_completed' and 'limit' on results, which adds some behavioral context. However, it omits details like ordering, pagination, or idempotency, leaving the agent with gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no wasted words. The description is front-loaded with the core behavior and effectively uses a parenthetical for the key parameter. It earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with zero required parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential behavior. However, it lacks details on ordering, error conditions, or connection to siblings like 'list_done', leaving some contextual gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining 'include_completed' switches between open and all tasks, and clarifies that 'limit' applies only when include_completed is true, enhancing understanding beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists tasks, specifying the default behavior (open tasks) and the parameter to include completed tasks. It distinguishes the tool's scope from siblings like 'add_task', but does not explicitly differentiate from 'list_done'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_done' or 'complete_task'. The description implies usage for listing tasks but fails to provide exclusion criteria or when-not-to-use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
schedule_eventSchedule EventB
Schedule an event. v0.1 stores as a dated task; v0.3 will call Google Calendar create_event.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | Event title | |
| start | Yes | ISO 8601 start datetime, e.g. '2026-04-24T15:00:00Z' | |
| end | No | ISO 8601 end datetime (optional) | |
| notes | No | Optional notes/description |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses current behavior (stores as dated task) and future plan (Google Calendar integration), which adds value beyond the schema. However, it does not mention authorization needs, side effects, or what happens on conflict.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, front-loading the core purpose. Every sentence adds value, though the version note could be placed more prominently. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description lacks information about return values or confirmation. The versioning context is helpful, but the tool's overall behavior (e.g., what the agent receives after scheduling) is missing. Adequate but not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with good descriptions for all parameters. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool schedules an event, with a specific verb and resource. The version note adds context about current vs future behavior, but it doesn't explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like add_task, which also deals with tasks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies it's for scheduling events (currently stored as dated task) but offers no exclusions or direct comparison to siblings (add_task, complete_task, etc.).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
TDQS
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes: add_task vs add_task_natural differ in input method, list_done vs list_tasks separate completed from open items, and schedule_event is unique. Slight overlap between add_task and add_task_natural but descriptions clarify.
Tools mostly follow a verb_noun pattern (add_task, complete_task, list_done, list_tasks, schedule_event). The exception is add_task_natural, which adds a qualifier but still consistent in style. No mixing of conventions.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for a focused task management assistant. Each tool addresses a core operation without unnecessary bloat or excessive specialization.
Basic create (add tasks), read (list tasks/done), and update (mark done) are covered, but missing update/edit task, delete task, and event scheduling is still immature (v0.1). Gaps may cause agent failures for common workflows.
