Your own Jarvis,quietly on your Mac.
AIDEN is the Always Intelligent Digital Assistant Network — a permission-first AI that remembers the things you care about, prepares your day before you ask, and never moves anything without your nod.
/ 01 · Protocol
The working memory of your day.
AIDEN is built around six quiet protocols. They're how AIDEN earns the right to act — one consented step at a time.
- 001Morning
Plans your day
Opens on your Mac and shapes the day — priorities, prep work, and the small things you forget. Not a chat — a brief.
- 002Agenda
Prepares your to-dos
Drafts your task list from the context AIDEN already holds. Start with a real plan, not a blank page.
- 003Memory
Remembers what matters
Holds the useful context — projects, people, preferences — and forgets the noise. You stay in command of memory.
- 004Read
Reads your files, calendar, email
Opt-in integrations to read where useful. No write without explicit approval. No long-running background sync.
- 005Voice
Drafts in your voice
Learns your tone from your sent mail and writing. Replies sound like you — and stay drafts until you press send.
- 006Consent
Asks before acting
Important actions go through approval. AIDEN proposes, you decide. Autonomy expands only as trust does.
/ 02 · Architecture
Not a chatbot. A quiet operator for your day.
Three principles AIDEN doesn't bend on — even when the temptation is automation theatre.
Personal, not generic
Tuned to your projects, your style, your inbox. Built for the work behind your work — students, founders, employees, creators.
Private by design
Your context lives on your Mac first. Cloud is used deliberately, never silently. No tracking pixels. No retention beyond what you set.
Useful, not flashy
No infinite scroll of features. AIDEN does a few things well: remember, prepare, organize, and ask — and gets out of your way.
/ 03 · Consent
AIDEN proposes. You approve.
Important actions — sending email, moving files, scheduling things, touching anything that matters — go through an approval step. AIDEN is built to be proactive, never reckless. Autonomy expands only as trust does.
- Drafts in your inbox/never sends without you
- Stages file moves/never executes without you
- Surfaces decisions/hides routine chatter
- Logs every action/audit-readable, local-only
I drafted a reply to Sam about Thursday's review.

/ 04 · Cursor
A second mind, one keystroke away.
AIDEN's Cursor lives at the edge of whatever you're working on. Summon it on any window, ask about what you're looking at, hand off a task without leaving your flow.
