Codi Agent: The Free, Local-First Desktop To-Do App That Keeps Your Data on Your Own Device

Almost every modern to-do app asks for the same things before you get to write down a single task: create an account, verify your email, allow syncing, and we will mention the subscription later. Your task list, full of client names, deadlines, and sometimes personal things, ends up living on someone else’s server, all so you can tick a box.

Codi Agent was built on the opposite assumption. It is a free, open-source desktop to-do app for Windows 10/11, with a little fox sitting on your desktop to keep you company, and all of its data stays on your own device. There is no cloud to trust and no subscription to renew.

Quick summary

• Codi Agent is a local-first desktop to-do app by Codiosity for Windows 10/11 (64-bit).
• Free and open-source: no pro tier, no monthly subscription.
• All your data stays local on your device, not on our servers.
• A small pixel fox lives on your desktop as a companion, not just an icon in the taskbar.
• The official download is agentdl.codiosity.com; later updates are offered automatically from inside the app.
• Because the installer is not certificate-signed, Windows shows a SmartScreen warning once. That is normal and easy to pass.

What Codi Agent is

Codi Agent is a small desktop app that does one thing: today’s list of tasks. You add a task, tick it off when it is done, and that is it. No Kanban boards, no nested labels, no productivity dashboard that quietly becomes another job. What separates it from a plain notepad is the pixel fox: it sits on your desktop as a gentle reminder that something is still unchecked.

The app is built and published by Codiosity, a Jakarta-based, remote-ready software house, and released free for anyone to use. The official download page is https://agentdl.codiosity.com/, and it is the only place we recommend getting the installer from.

Why "local-first" is more than a buzzword

Local-first means your device is the source of truth, not a copy of something that lives on a server. Data is written to your disk, read from your disk, and stays there. The consequences are simple but noticeable: the app opens instantly without waiting on a network, your list still opens when the internet is down, and there is no account on our side to be locked, reset, or breached, because there is no our side.

There is a privacy angle that rarely gets discussed, too. A task list is some of the most honest data about a person: what you are working on, for whom, and by when. Keeping it local means you do not need to read anyone’s privacy policy to know where it goes. It does not go anywhere.

And the honest flip side: because the data is local, it does not automatically appear on a second laptop or on your phone. That is a deliberate trade-off, not a feature we ran out of time for. If cross-device sync for a whole team is your main need, Codi Agent is not the right tool, and we would rather say so up front.

The little fox has a job

The classic weakness of a to-do app is that it is too easy to forget. You write five tasks in the morning, the window closes, and the list drops out of your awareness until tomorrow. The fox on your desktop works as a light presence: it is visible in the corner of your screen, and seeing it is enough of a nudge without an intrusive notification. For a lot of people, a passive reminder like that outlasts the alarm they eventually mute.

How to install Codi Agent on Windows

1. 01Open https://agentdl.codiosity.com/ and download the Windows installer.
2. 02Run the installer. Because it is not signed with a paid certificate, Windows may show a blue screen that reads "Windows protected your PC".
3. 03Click "More info", then "Run anyway" to continue. That warning is about certificate status, not about anything wrong with the file.
4. 04Finish the installation and open Codi Agent. The fox appears, and you can add your first task right away.
5. 05For later updates you do not need to download anything manually: the app checks for a new version when it launches and offers the update in-app.

Free and open-source: what that gets you

Free here means free, not a 14-day trial. No features are locked behind a pro plan and there is no monthly bill to remember. Open-source adds something more valuable than the price: you do not have to take our word on privacy, because the code can be read. A claim like "your data stays local" means far more when anyone can verify it.

Who it is for (and who it is not for)

• A good fit for: Windows desktop workers who want one lightweight task list that stays visible.
• A good fit for: developers, designers, and freelancers who would rather not put client names and deadlines into a third-party service.
• A good fit for: anyone tired of subscribing to productivity apps who just wants something to use.
• Less of a fit for: teams needing a shared board, assignments, and comments between members.
• Less of a fit for: anyone who must see the same list on a phone and several computers at once.
• Not available yet for: macOS and Linux. Codi Agent currently ships for Windows 10/11 (64-bit).

Why a software house ships a free app

Codi Agent was not built to be a revenue line. It was built because we needed it, and because the most honest way to show how a studio works is to release something you can install and use today, with no demo call and no form. If you want to judge whether Codiosity is careful about details, this small free app is a sample you can inspect yourself.

Codi Agent also sits alongside other standalone Codiosity products, like CashierBoss for business point-of-sale, Duitku for personal finance, and ZenHanzi for learning Mandarin. They all come from the same pattern: one clear problem, solved by an app that does not overreach.

Closing

A task list should be the simplest tool on your computer, not a service you maintain. Codi Agent tries to give that back: one small window, one fox, and data that stays yours. Free, open-source, and ready to install on Windows 10 or 11.

And if what you are actually looking for is a team that can build a desktop, web, or mobile app for your own needs, Codiosity does that every day, and the first conversation is free with no obligation.
