Lotti

Your AI-powered context manager — a private, local-first assistant for your tasks, notes, and audio.

Lotti is an open-source personal assistant that helps you capture, organize, and understand your work and life through AI-enhanced task management, audio recordings, and intelligent summaries—all while keeping your data entirely under your control.

Core features:

Currently, Lotti's AI capabilities are focused on task management and productivity. Habit tracking is fully functional but will receive AI enhancements in future updates.

AI-Powered Intelligence

• Smart Summaries: Automatically generate summaries of tasks, capturing key points and progress
• Audio Transcription: Transcribe recordings using either local Whisper (OpenAI's open weights model, 99 languages supported) or cloud providers with audio capabilities like Gemini Flash/Pro
• Context Recap: Resume a task with a one-screen recap of your latest notes, time, and progress
• Intelligent Checklists: Transform rambling audio notes into actionable checklists
• Chat with Your Data: Ask questions about your tasks, learnings, and achievements across any time period

Comprehensive Tracking

• Tasks: Full lifecycle management (open, groomed, in progress, blocked, done, rejected)
• Audio Recording: Capture thoughts, progress notes, and brain dumps
• Time Tracking: Record time spent on tasks and projects
• Journal Entries: Written reflections and documentation
• Habits: Define and monitor daily habits and routines
• Health Data: Import from Apple Health and other sources

Privacy & Control

• Local-Only Storage: All data is permanently stored only on your devices and never in the cloud
• Encrypted Sync: End-to-end encrypted synchronization between your devices (desktop/laptop and mobile) using Matrix (requires a Matrix account — self-hosted or public homeserver)
• Selective AI Usage: Configure AI providers per category—keep sensitive data completely local with Ollama but use state-of-the-art (frontier) cloud models when appropriate
• Your API Keys: When you choose cloud AI, data is shared only for that specific inference call. Please review the respective provider's terms and privacy policy to understand how they handle your data
• GDPR-Compliant Options: European-hosted AI providers with no data retention policies available for enhanced privacy
• Built for on-device: Designed for the era when local AI inference becomes standard
