Open-source local app

Open Loops

A small app by Oscar Craven that runs on your computer. It keeps a list of everything you have asked people for — on Slack and by email — until they reply, then reminds you until you reply. When a request goes quiet, it writes the “just checking in…” follow-up the way you would write it.

• Runs on your computer. The developer operates no servers and never sees your mail.
• Uses the AI subscription you already have: Claude, ChatGPT (Codex) or Grok.
• Drafts by default. It never sends unless you switch sending on.
• MIT Licence. Source on GitHub.

Why it asks for Gmail

Gmail is optional. If you connect it, Open Loops requests Gmail access so it can:

• Read messages you sent and the threads they belong to, to find unanswered requests.
• Create drafts of follow-ups in those threads.
• Send a follow-up only if you switch sending on in Settings. Sending is off by default.

Gmail data stays on your computer, except as described in the privacy policy. Slack is a separate, optional connection.
