Your schedule, tasks,
and notes — finally unified

Gera links your calendar events directly to the tasks and notes they generate. Everything in one place, stored as plain files you always own.

Runs entirely on your device. No cloud, no subscription, no lock-in.

Core concepts

Three types of information.
One coherent workspace.

01

Events

Meetings, appointments, and any occurrence tied to a specific time. Events are the anchor — everything else orbits around them.

time-bound
02

Tasks

Actions you need to complete. Each task knows which event created it and which note provides its context — no more free-floating to-dos.

action-oriented
03

Notes

Your knowledge, ideas, and reference material. Notes supply the background context for events and tasks — and Gera can extract tasks from them automatically.

context & knowledge

Local-first architecture

Your data, in
plain text, forever.

Gera stores everything as standard .md and YAML files on your drive. Open them in Vim, VS Code, or Obsidian whenever you want. Nothing is ever sent to a server.

Privacy by default

Files stay on your drive. Sync only if you choose to, using your own tools.

Standard formats

Markdown and YAML. Readable by any editor, versionable with Git.

No lock-in

Stop using Gera any day and your data is still perfectly intact and portable.

How Gera fits in

It's not a calendar.
Not a note app. Not just a task list.

vs. Google Calendar

Calendars organize time but isolate your work

They Events exist alone — notes and tasks live elsewhere, disconnected.
Gera Every event is a hub. Tasks and notes attach directly to it.
vs. Obsidian / Notion

Note apps treat events and tasks as plain text

They A meeting is just a heading. A task is just a bullet point.
Gera Time and action are first-class data types with dedicated interfaces.
vs. Todoist / Things

Task managers list what to do without the why

They Tasks float freely — the meeting that created them is long forgotten.
Gera Each task sits beside the event and notes that define it.

One place for everything
that matters at work.
