Run it on your laptop

1. Install it as an app

The quickest one. You get a window with its own icon, no tabs and no address bar, signed in exactly the way you already are.

1. Open https://cogidemo.mullinsit.tech in Chrome or Edge.
2. Click the install icon in the address bar, or open the browser menu and pick Install.
3. It lands in your Start menu or Applications folder like any other program.

Right-click the installed icon and you get a Planner shortcut that opens straight to the board.

2. A launcher you double-click

Nothing is installed. The script just starts the browser you already use, pointed at the board in its own window.

On a Mac or Linux, run chmod +x cogi-planner.sh once before the first double-click.

3. The standalone copy

The whole app in a folder, running on your own machine with no server behind it. It needs Python and nothing else, no packages to download. Your tasks live in a planner.db file next to the script, and nothing in it reaches the internet on its own.

Four things to double-click in that folder: run-planner for the board, run-sticky for the sticky note, run-panel for the side panel, and setup-dictation once if you want to talk your notes instead of typing them, which needs no administrator rights and keeps every word on your own machine. It starts empty. To carry work across, use Extract here and Ingest there. The export file holds the records and the task board.

4. The sticky note

One note in a window the size of a real sticky note. No rail, no board, no address bar, just the note you are on and a box to type in. It is the same note the notepad shows, saving as you type, and a screenshot pastes straight into it.

The launcher opens it at 340 by 430. Keep it in front of everything with PowerToys Always on Top: Win+Ctrl+T. Installed as an app, it is also on the right-click menu of the icon as Sticky note.

5. Make your work Copilot agent speak its language

If you have an agent in Copilot Studio, it can hand back task lists and records in the exact shape Ingest reads. No connector and no opening this server up.
