# Produchive

> Produchive is a free, open-source, offline-first desktop productivity app. It tracks your app usage, lets you set daily goals, and uses locally-running AI models to evaluate your productivity — all without sending any data to external servers.

## Key Facts

- **Type**: Desktop application (Electron-based)
- **Platforms**: macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
- **License**: Open source — [GitHub](https://github.com/Heisen47/produchive)
- **Privacy**: 100% offline. Zero data collection. Zero telemetry. No accounts required.
- **AI**: Uses local LLMs (via WebLLM) to analyze productivity. Models run entirely on-device.
- **Storage**: All data stored locally in a JSON file using lowDB. No cloud sync, no backend.

## What It Does

1. **Activity Monitoring**: Tracks which applications and windows you use and for how long.
2. **Goal Setting**: Set up to 5 daily goals (e.g., "Code the login page", "Study algorithms").
3. **AI Productivity Scoring**: A locally-running AI model evaluates your app usage against your goals and gives a score from 1–10 with personalized tips.
4. **Usage Dashboards**: Visualize your daily app usage breakdown with charts and summaries.
5. **Streaks**: Track consecutive productive days.
6. **Model Manager**: Download, switch, or delete AI models from within the app.
7. **Auto-Launch**: Optionally starts when your computer boots.
