Gather

Free betaFor Mac

Your chats,
gathered.

Gather reads the WhatsApp history already on your Mac and turns it into a calm list of what you owe, who’s waiting on you and every file anyone sent.

Gather’s Tasks view: tasks grouped into Attention, Next and Waiting, each with a due date

Everything your chats
are asking of you.

Tasks

“Can you confirm by Friday?” becomes a task with a due date, linked to the message it came from.

A Renovation folder showing only its tasks, with a switch to its files

Folders

Group a project’s chats and people, a renovation or a client, and see just its tasks and files.

Gather’s People view with company, role and next follow-up date

People

Who you talk to, where they work and when to follow up before a conversation goes cold.

Files

Every file,
without the scrolling.

Gather’s Files view: quotes, contracts and spreadsheets from every chat, with who sent them and when

Stays on your Mac

Messages are read and stored locally. There’s no Gather server and no account to make.

Read-only

Gather never sends messages or changes your chats. It only reads what WhatsApp Desktop already saved.

AI is optional

People, Files and search work without it. Task finding runs on your own ChatGPT or Claude account.

Ready for your agents

Copy a task’s context, or let Codex and Claude Code read your workspace from the command line.

More on the way.

Your conversations don’t live in one app, so Gather won’t either.

Free while in beta

Gather is brand new. It’s free while I shape it with early users, and your feedback decides what comes next.

Questions

What do I need?

A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) on macOS 13 or later, and WhatsApp Desktop installed and signed in. Gather reads the history WhatsApp Desktop already has on your Mac.

Does Gather need AI?

No. Search, People and Files work without it. Turning on AI review lets Gather find tasks and follow-ups, using your own ChatGPT or Claude account.

Can Gather send messages or change my chats?

No. Gather only reads, and it never changes WhatsApp’s files.

When will other apps work?

iMessage, Telegram and KakaoTalk are next. No dates yet; beta users hear first.

Will it stay free?

It’s free for the whole beta. If that changes, beta users will hear first, well ahead of time.
