Tonk’s in active alpha - expect rough spots.

We’re closely iterating with indie hackers - your feedback genuinely shapes the roadmap.

Coming soon: hosting simplification, easier security, decentralized sharing.

Simple workflow using the CLI:

2. Build an agent to summarize your daily plan.
3. Need tasks? Add a tasks Worker.
4. Upgrade agent to auto-prioritize your day.

Tonk uses three simple components:

• Workers: Pull your data (email, calendar, tasks, APIs)
• Store: Private, local-first data hub
• Apps & Agents: Custom tools built over your data

Easy, modular, flexible.

Why build Tonk?

Because creating personalized, data-driven tools usually means tedious data-pulling and backend pains (storage, sync, privacy).

That friction kills fast experimentation.

See you there! event: lu.ma/pqcugpgy
