Your tasks are buried. That costs focus.
Most task apps live in a separate window — or worse, a separate browser tab. Getting there means a context switch. Every context switch breaks your flow. Flary solves this by keeping your tasks one click from wherever you already are.
Every feature you need. Nothing you don't.
Flary keeps task management lightweight and within reach.
Task Management
Add, complete, and delete tasks from the menu bar. Drag to reorder. Nest subtasks under a parent. Auto-complete a parent when all subtasks are done.
AI Task Decomposition
Tap the wand on any task. Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework breaks it into clear subtasks — one by one with a smooth animation. No account, no subscription, no data sent anywhere.
Daily Streak & History
Track your completion streak day by day. See a weekly bar chart of tasks added vs. completed. Review everything you finished today in the History tab.
Idle Nudge
Flary notices when you have been idle and sends a gentle reminder to get back on track. Set your own threshold and cooldown in Settings.
Home Screen Widget
A dark, minimal widget shows your active tasks right on the desktop. Updates automatically as you work. No setup required.
Global Keyboard Shortcut
Open Flary from anywhere with ⌥ Space. Fully customisable in Settings. Never leave your keyboard to check what is next.
Design that breathes
Flary uses a Metal-rendered animated orb as its background — a slow-breathing gradient that flashes green when you complete a task. The entire UI is dark by default, with sharp contrast and fluid spring animations throughout. Reduce Motion is fully respected: all animations fall back to simple fades.
Privacy by default
Flary collects nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no network calls. All data — tasks, history, settings — is stored locally on your Mac using SwiftData. AI features run entirely on-device via Apple's Foundation Models framework. 3nsofts has no access to anything on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Does Flary store my tasks in the cloud?
No. All tasks, history, and settings are stored locally on your Mac using SwiftData. Nothing is sent to any server. Flary makes zero network requests.
How does the AI task decomposition work?
Tap the wand icon on any task and Flary uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework to break it into clear, actionable subtasks. No data leaves your Mac — Apple's model runs entirely on your device.
Do I need an Apple Silicon Mac for AI features?
Apple Silicon is recommended for best performance, but Flary runs on any Mac with macOS 26 (Sequoia) or later. AI decomposition requires a supported on-device model from Apple.
What is the idle nudge feature?
Flary monitors idle time and sends a gentle notification when you have been inactive for your chosen threshold. You control the idle duration and cooldown period in Settings.
Is Flary free?
Yes. Flary is free to download with no in-app purchases and no subscription.
