Features

What it does

Summarize long notes into a compact brief.
Pull out action items, open questions, dates, and handoff risks.
Check readability, grade level, clarity, repeated terms, passive phrasing, and wordy language.
Save reusable snippets for meeting notes, status reports, decisions, reviews, and planning prompts.
Export conversations as Markdown or CSV.
Build a Dispatch Packet that gives the current workspace a readiness score, source-health note, summary, actions, questions, risks, dates, and next steps.

Use it when you have a messy pile of source text and need to leave with something useful:

Outpost Desk runs locally on your Mac. It does not require an account, cloud workspace, analytics SDK, advertising SDK, camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, or location access. File access is limited to documents you explicitly open through the macOS file picker.

Privacy

Private by design

Outpost Desk does not require an account and does not include third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. Content you create stays in the app on your device unless you explicitly export or share it. See the privacy policy.
