Local-first means your saved work lives on your Mac, under your control. Client Manager, Lists & Notes and Gift Keeper let you manage your everyday work offline, with no app account required. Records save directly to your computer. Features that fetch web content, discover music or use AI need internet, as do update checks and downloads. Each product page explains what its app needs.
$49 USD a year gets you every app. Bought separately, the 8 paid apps come to $176, and membership adds the members-only apps and anything new I release. Stop paying and the versions you downloaded during a paid membership period keep working.
Your data lives in the apps on your Mac, and the Tiong Creative assistant, an MCP server, lets an AI assistant such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code or ChatGPT desktop use it while the app is open. I'd set the apps up the usual way first, and after that, asking your assistant what's coming up this week, or to save a gift idea, add a task, add items to a list, check upcoming payments, compare budget scenarios, or create a diagram or slide deck, is a good option for the day to day.
It works with Due Again, Gift Keeper, Client Manager, Lists & Notes, Budget Planner and DiagramSnap. You turn on Assistant access in each app's Settings, and it uses your own AI account, so what it reads goes to that AI service. It's a standard MCP server that works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code and ChatGPT desktop, and other assistants that support MCP may be able to use it too. The setup steps are in the help centre, and the assistant itself is on npm and GitHub.
I have worked across product management, agency ownership, SaaS support and product enablement, and I am the person behind davidtiong.com. I built these apps to solve problems I kept running into, like messy content audits, noisy RSS feeds, and notes scattered across cloud apps I didn't trust. Each one is a tool I actually use. There is more about how I build them if you are curious.
More apps on the way, built around keeping your work on your own Mac.
