Pally tracks how long it's been with the people who matter to you, nudges you when a silence is getting unusual, and drafts the message that restarts things.","recipes":[]},{"kind":"recipe","slug":"follow-up-chaser","path":"/recipes/follow-up-chaser","title":"Follow-up chaser","cluster":"People","clusterLabel":"People","kickoff":"Who hasn't replied to me this week?","promise":"Half of getting things done is remembering who never answered. Pally checks your messages and email, names the people leaving you hanging, and nudges the ones you point at.","recipes":[]},{"kind":"recipe","slug":"say-it-later","path":"/recipes/say-it-later","title":"Say it later","cluster":"Messages","clusterLabel":"Messages","kickoff":"I want to write a message now and have it sent later.","promise":"The birthday text at 8am sharp, the reminder that shouldn't arrive at midnight. Tell Pally what to send and when. It sends at exactly that moment and confirms it landed.","recipes":[]},{"kind":"recipe","slug":"photo-fixer","path":"/recipes/photo-fixer","title":"Photo fixer","cluster":"Errands","clusterLabel":"Errands","kickoff":"Can you fix up a photo for me?","promise":"The listing wants a square JPEG under 5MB and your phone made a 12MB portrait.

Pally can see the screen, check what's running, reach files in folders you've granted, and take the next step in your apps. Looking never needs a sign-off, and a step you ask for just runs.","recipes":[]},{"kind":"recipe","slug":"call-your-pally","path":"/recipes/call-your-pally","title":"Call Pally","cluster":"Calls","clusterLabel":"Calls","kickoff":"What's your phone number? I want to call you.","promise":"Hands on the wheel, twenty minutes of drive, a day to organize.

Aiming for 2,200 a day.","promise":"Every calorie app dies the same death: too many taps per meal. Texting is faster.

Pally keeps that ledger in your texts. It logs each dose, reminds you at your hour, tracks the cycle, and reports your timing to the minute.","recipes":[]},{"kind":"recipe","slug":"day-rebuilt","path":"/recipes/day-rebuilt","title":"Your day, rebuilt","cluster":"Daily rhythm","clusterLabel":"Daily rhythm","kickoff":"What's my day looking like?","promise":"A schedule is a plan until the school calls. Ask Pally for the day and you get its shape; tell it to clear the afternoon and it moves things into slots that work for everyone, then tells you where it all went.","recipes":[]},{"kind":"recipe","slug":"coding-agents","path":"/recipes/coding-agents","title":"Wrangle your coding agents","cluster":"Work","clusterLabel":"Work","kickoff":"How are my coding agents doing?","promise":"Pally can start and supervise real coding agent sessions, Claude Code or Codex, on your own Mac, each in its own isolated checkout.
