About Cyer

Cyer is a desktop productivity assistant that runs in the system tray and sends timely, non-intrusive nudges such as morning briefings, mission reminders, and calendar heads-ups. It operates locally by default, storing notes, missions, and daily history on the user’s machine without requiring an account for basic functionality. Users can connect their own AI models—Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, or Ollama—to perform tasks while keeping existing subscriptions intact. The tool includes a command palette for quick note or mission capture from any application without switching windows. A morning summary consolidates notes, missions, and upcoming events into a single local console, reducing the need for multiple apps. Cyer is available as a free beta for Windows and Mac, with paid plans scheduled to begin on August 8, offering advanced features and priority support.
