You keep doing the same thing.
Plainwork notices, and automates it.
A desktop app that watches how you actually work, spots the patterns you repeat, and offers to automate them. No Zapier. No n8n. Nothing to wire up.
The problem
Most repeated work never gets automated.
Not because it isn't worth automating. Because setting up the automation always costs more than just doing the thing one more time. So you do it one more time. And again next week. And the week after.
Until something notices for you.

The first automation tool you don't have to set up.
Every other automation tool starts with a blank canvas and asks you to describe what you want. Plainwork starts by watching what you already do. The setup is the working. The detection is the design step. You just keep working, and habits appear.
First
It learns by watching, not by being told.
Plainwork runs on your machine and observes the work you do, the apps you switch between, the data you copy across, and the steps you repeat. Nothing leaves your device. It builds a private picture of how you actually work.
Then
It surfaces what's worth automating.
When Plainwork notices a pattern repeating, it shows you what it saw and asks if you want it taken over. Three examples, plain English, accept or reject. The ones you approve run in the background. The ones you don't are never asked about again.
You do this every Monday morning. Want me to handle it?
Or
Show it once, and it learns.
Some workflows are too rare for Plainwork to notice on its own: The quarterly report, or that once-a-month handoff. Start a demonstration, do the work normally, and Plainwork captures the whole sequence as a habit ready for your approval.
On your device
You don't have to choose between automation and privacy.
Plainwork runs on your computer. The work it watches, the patterns it finds, the habits it proposes — all of it stays there. It's yours, on your machine, where it belongs.
Local capture
Screen and audio are processed on-device. No frames, no recordings, no transcripts ever touch our servers.
Local detection
The pattern matching that finds your habits runs in the app, on your CPU. We never see what we noticed.
You decide what syncs
Only the habits you approve sync to your Plainwork account, so you can manage them across devices. The raw work stays local.
Integrations
It observes everywhere. It acts where you've connected it.
Plainwork notices patterns across every app on your machine. When you approve a habit, it runs the automation through whichever services you've connected to your account. The more you connect, the more it can do for you.

Common questions.
Your next habit starts the day you install.
No setup, no flowcharts, and nothing to wire up.
Just install, work normally, and let Plainwork notice what's worth automating.
