Your day and your bots at the edge of the screen
The desktop app puts a small bee at the side of your screen. It shows what is next and which bot needs you, opens a quick menu over any app, and lets you answer a bot from the notification.
The BusyBee.Day desktop app runs on Linux (deb, rpm and AppImage), Windows and macOS. It adds a bee at the edge of the screen with your day and your bots, a quick menu on Ctrl+Alt+B for tasks, questions to BusyBee, focus, screenshots and search, and notifications you can answer in place. It is being tested and is not public yet.
