01
Connect your channels
Mail, messengers, RSS, and web sources come into one stream instead of staying split across tabs.
AI inbox
Bring mail, messengers, and services into one AI inbox.
Koan gathers incoming messages from multiple sources, builds a digest, and helps you prepare draft replies. Important actions stay visible and confirmable.
One incoming flow
Mail, messengers, RSS, and service notifications meet in one place.
Digest and draft replies
Koan brings the important items forward first and helps you move toward a response faster.
Control before action
Risky actions do not disappear into the background. You can review and confirm them explicitly.
How it works
Connect sources, get a digest, deal with what matters
Koan pulls incoming messages into one flow, highlights priorities, and moves you toward a reply or a confirmed action.
02
Get a digest
Koan helps you see priorities, clear noise, and understand what needs a reply now.
03
Reply or confirm the next step
Prepare a draft reply, add context, and confirm a risky action from one place.
Trust
A real product, not a concept
The codebase, tests, live screenshots, and local-first runtime show that Koan can already be evaluated as a working product.
Codebase
~76K
Koan has already grown into real product code rather than a stack of concepts or mock screens.
Tests
1884+
The test suite shows that the product logic is being verified, not only described.
Delivered milestones
M1-M5
The product already has completed milestones, not only future plans.
Live product UI
Channels + Satellite
The desktop interface and the mobile Satellite already show how the product looks in real use.
User outcomes
What becomes easier once Koan is in the loop
Not a distant vision. These are the day-to-day gains the product is already built to deliver after the main sources are connected.
Faster morning triage
You can see what needs attention first without patrolling five separate apps before your day starts.
A shorter path from signal to reply
Context, draft replies, and the next confirmed step stay close together instead of breaking across tools.
Safer automation
Koan helps you move faster, but risky actions stay reviewable and explicit.
What you get
Three reasons to try Koan
Koan helps you clear incoming overload faster, avoid missed signals, and move toward a reply without constant context switching.
Bring incoming messages together
ShippedKoan brings mail, chats, RSS, and service signals into one flow so you do not have to patrol multiple apps.
- Incoming messages from multiple sources appear in one interface.
- New sources can be connected without rebuilding your whole workflow manually.
- A shared stream helps you avoid losing important context between tools.
Get a digest and clear priorities
ShippedKoan helps you see what matters first, separate signal from noise, and understand what needs a reply or action now.
- Digest flows and background modes already help you clear the stream without manual sorting.
- Koan shows the items that need attention now and the ones that can wait.
- Priorities stay visible in one place instead of being scattered across tools.
Prepare replies and actions
ShippedKoan helps you move from an incoming signal to a reply or the next step without taking the user out of the decision loop.
- Draft replies and next steps stay close to the relevant context.
- Risky actions can be reviewed and confirmed before execution.
- The local-first model and explicit boundaries are already part of the product.
Why this is different
Not just chat, not just aggregation, not just automation
Koan combines AI dialogue, a unified inbox, and safe actions on top of existing channels.
ChatGPT / Claude
They answer prompts, but they do not live inside your incoming flow
Koan works where messages and notifications already arrive instead of asking you to switch to a separate tool first.
Beeper / aggregators
They collect messages, but they do not help you work through them
Koan does more than combine channels. It helps you see what matters, prepare replies, and move to the next step.
Zapier / automation tools
They automate flows, but they do not hold the conversation
Koan keeps the conversation and the incoming queue together instead of pushing everything into a separate workflow builder.
Why this feels safe
Local-first runtime, confirmed actions, and visible proof
Koan keeps the main runtime with the user, makes Relay optional, and does not hide risky actions behind magic.
- The main runtime and data stay with the user.
- Risky actions can be confirmed before execution.
- The desktop inbox and Satellite already show a live product.
- The codebase and test suite support the product story with real engineering proof.
Control
Useful for one person before anything else
Koan does not need your whole team to migrate at once. It starts as something useful for one person, then expands across more channels and devices.
Now
Unified inbox, digest, and reply preparation
Next
More channels, mobile continuity, and smoother onboarding
Later
Shared recipes, broader discovery, and a larger network layer
Roadmap
What is already there and what comes next
The roadmap is here as technical proof. It shows where the product stands today and what layers come later.
FoundationShipped
Unified inbox, source connections, Satellite, and device explorer
The Koan foundation is already working: one incoming flow, source connections, a mobile companion, and device-facing tools.
ExecutionIn progress
A clearer split between the user loop and background work
The next step is making the boundary between visible user actions and background work easier to understand inside the product.
EcosystemPlanned
Sangha Commons recipe catalog
A later ecosystem layer will make reusable recipes and source connections easier to discover and install.
NetworkPlanned
Hub and shared Koan workflows
After solo-first value is solid, a network layer can support exchange between Koan instances without taking control away from the owner.
Next step
Try Koan in the next beta wave
Apply if you want one place for incoming messages across channels, a digest that highlights the important items, and a faster path to reply.
