What's new

Your helper keeps
getting more useful.

Six Socks is in early testing, and a new version lands every few days. Here's what changed, with the biggest things first. Six Socks updates itself, so you already have the latest.

Tasks with Notion Jobs on repeat New in 0.2 Every version
New in 0.1.8

Tasks, in step with Notion.

Jot down what needs doing in plain words, like "Send Mark's quote by Friday", and Six Socks works out the date. Ask Socks to help with any task, or let it plan your day.

  • Already use Notion? Connect your tasks database and tick things off in either place.
  • Your Notion key is stored in your Mac's Keychain, never in a file.
  • Prefer to keep it simple? Tasks works perfectly well on its own.

Jobs Socks does on repeat.

Say when in your own words, like "every weekday at 8am" or "the first of the month". Six Socks reads it back in plain English and shows the next few times, so you know it understood.

  • A weekly enquiries report, a Monday morning catch-up, a monthly reminder to chase invoices.
  • The Schedule app lists them in order, with what's coming up next.
  • If your Claude plan is nearly used up, Socks waits for it to reset instead.

Comes with Intermediate mode. Jobs run while Six Socks is open.

New in 0.2

Use Six Socks from your phone.

Out now. Six Socks updates itself, so there's nothing to do.

Your helper, in your pocket

Open Six Socks from your phone, tablet or another computer on the same Wi-Fi. Turn it on in Settings, under Other devices. Your Mac still does the work, so nothing new to set up.

Paired, not public

Each device pairs once with a six-digit code from your Mac, and only works on your own network. Remove a device any time.

On your Home Screen

Add it to your iPhone's Home Screen for its own sock icon, and it opens like an app.

Made to fit

Chat, Tasks, Library and Settings are laid out for phones, down to the iPhone mini. Changes show on every device straight away.

Every version.

Everything since the first test version, newest first.
