Get Bindle for your computer

Each build comes straight from the source code on GitHub. Your promises stay on your computer; nothing about them is sent anywhere. Once installed, Bindle tells you when a new version is ready and installs it when you say so.

Every build is listed on the releases page.

What it does

One bag for everything that needs you

A promise is anything you said you would do, anything someone owes you, and anything you promised yourself. Bindle gives each one a first step and a day, then gets out of the way.

Jot down from anywhere

Press Alt Shift J over any app and type it the way you would say it: “send reel edit to Rohan kal shaam 7 baje”. Bindle reads the day, time, money and person, in English and Hinglish.

Sort in seconds

Everything you jot waits in Sort until you decide: keep it, save it for later, or let it go. Every change can be undone.

Promises, all in one place

Open, later, done and let go, with search across every promise, person and first step. Ten thousand promises search in a few milliseconds.

People, both sides

What you owe each person and what they owe you, with a friendly recap you can copy and send yourself. Give each person a picture and their pronouns.

Wrap up the day

About a minute each evening: what you kept, a quick choice for what is still open, and tomorrow’s top 3. Then rest.

Works with Claude

When you allow it, Claude and other AI apps can read your day and suggest promises over MCP. Suggestions wait in Sort for you; an AI never changes anything.
