Every Millisecond Matters

Fast, local task manager for humans and AI agents

macOS on Apple silicon.
Free while in early development.

Or the latest build — newer, less tested.

Emm is a task manager for software projects, built for work where AI agents write all of the code. It makes an unusual design choice: the CLI comes first, so you and your agents work the same task list with the same commands. Everything is local — tasks live in a SQLite file on your machine, and reads never touch the network. The app requires no sign-in, and sends us no data or telemetry in single-player mode.

Help me understand and set up Emm. Read https://emmflow.com/agent-guide.md first, then walk me through it step by step.

The guide covers setup and a practical way to work together: turn a goal into a ready queue, keep feedback beside the work, and make clear whose turn comes next.
