You’re in.

Thank you — genuinely. Here is everything you need, in the order you need it. Fifteen minutes from now it will be answering you.

Nothing done yet — start at the top.

First — what device are you holding?

The first fifteen minutes

1. Download your copy

A single zip. Everything is inside it — there is nothing else to install and no account to make.

A reminder of what you agreed at checkout: delivery is instant, and downloading ends your statutory 14-day right to cancel. The 7-day money-back promise is separate and still yours.

2. Check you have Node 18 or newer

The one thing Sorted needs from your computer. Open Terminal (Mac), or PowerShell (Windows), and paste this:

node --version

A number like v20.11.0 and you’re set. "Command not found" means you need Node — it’s free, takes two minutes, and comes from nodejs.org. Pick the version labelled LTS.

3. Give it a name

It answers to Robin out of the box. Call it whatever you like — you’re going to be talking to it every day, so it may as well be a name you’d actually use. You can change it again whenever you want.

Put this line in agent.config.json, or just say YOUR NAME IS Robin to it once it’s running:

"agent_name": "Robin",

4. Pick how it talks to you

This changes the wording only. It never changes what it does, what it will refuse, or what it tells you — a brisk agent and a warm one give you exactly the same facts.

"tone": "warm",

5. Set it up — guided, step by step

The Setup Assistant asks what you’ve got (computer, messenger, AI) and walks your exact path one step at a time, with fixes when anything goes wrong. The last step runs node agent.js, whose built-in wizard writes your settings for you. About 30 minutes.

6. Say something to it

Start it with node agent.js, then message it on whichever channel you picked. Good first things to try:

  • What’s my day look like?
  • Remind me to call the dentist on Thursday morning
  • Keep anything about Mum private
  • What have you learned about me?

If nothing comes back, run node agent.js --doctor. It checks every connection in turn and tells you plainly which one is wrong.

Three things worth knowing on day one

It’s a bit blank at first, and that’s correct. The part of Sorted that learns your habits sits on your machine and starts with nothing in it. It won’t act on a guess until it has seen roughly twenty-five examples and is confident enough to be right — so expect it to ask before it assumes for the first week or two. That caution is deliberate. An assistant that guesses early is worse than one that waits.

Ask it what have you learned at any point and it will show you exactly what it thinks it knows, and how sure it is. Nothing is hidden from you.

Nothing leaves your machine unless you connect it somewhere. There is no account, no server of ours, and no analytics anywhere in this product — including on the page you’re reading now. Your notes, your calendar and what it has learned about you sit in files you can open, read and delete yourself.

The exception, stated plainly: if you point it at an AI provider, the messages you send it go to that provider under their terms. Choose Ollama in the config and even that stays on your own hardware.

Voice works nearly everywhere, and there is one place it doesn’t. Hold the microphone and talk in any normal browser. Apple blocks microphone access inside installed web apps on iPhone and iPad — that’s their restriction, not a bug we can fix, so the app detects it and tells you rather than leaving you holding a dead button. Typing does everything voice does.

If it isn’t for you

You have 7 days — exactly. The window is 168 hours from the moment you paid, to the minute: buy at 2:32pm and it closes at 2:32pm a week later. Ask inside it and you get your money back — no form, no reason needed, no attempt to talk you out of it. Write one line using the box below, or reply to your receipt.

The time that counts is the purchase time printed on your receipt, and it’s the moment your email is sent that matters — not when it gets read. One thing to know: the promise is once per person — if you refund and buy again someday, that purchase is final. We’d rather have the honest sentence about why than the sale. It’s the only way this gets better.

Tell us what’s wrong with it

Anything at all — a bug, a step that confused you, something you expected it to do and it didn’t. Short is fine.

This page has no server behind it, so it can’t send anything itself — the button hands the text to your own email app and you press send. That means nothing you type here goes anywhere without you doing it deliberately, and it also means we can’t quietly collect what you write. Both of those are on purpose.
