Clockwork

Freemium

macOS app that books coding agents like meetings — scheduled, sandboxed runs with dollar caps that file a readable report.

Calendar-style booking: Schedule an agent against a repository with a profile, budget and time, one-off or recurring
Real recurrence: RRULE or cron expanded in your own IANA time zone, with daylight-saving handling and missed-run policies
Sandboxed runs: Each job executes in a macOS Seatbelt profile around a fresh git worktree, or an ephemeral Docker container with no network by default
Credential deny-list: Files under .ssh, .aws and .gnupg plus shell history are unreadable from inside a run
Enforced budgets: A dollar cap, turn cap and wall-clock timeout applied by a supervisor outside the model
Approval gates: Risky actions pause and wait; an unanswered ask fails closed after about two minutes
Structured reports: Every run files a summary, branch and diffstat, cost, approval log and full-text searchable transcript
Agent library: Thirteen specialists including Dep Surgeon, Test Doctor, Bug Hunter, Code Reviewer and Security Auditor, plus custom agents
Multi-engine: Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and Hermes Agent on the logins you already have, or your own provider keys

A developer schedules dependency patch bumps to run overnight and reviews a diff in the morning instead of a scrollback
A team runs a weekly repo health digest that reports stale branches, drift and advisories every Monday at 07:00
An engineer chains a scan, a fix, a test run and a pull request so each stage receives the previous stage's report
A maintainer caps an experimental agent at a fixed dollar amount so a runaway loop cannot exceed the budget
A CI failure fires a webhook that launches the CI Investigator agent to decide whether it is a flake or a real regression
A security-conscious team runs read-only audits on a machine with no cloud account, no telemetry and data kept in a local SQLite file

An AI employee that lives in Slack, running research and repetitive GTM work across your connected tools and asking before it acts.

Slack-Native Agent: Tadata runs where the team already works, delivering briefs and finished drafts in Slack instead of requiring another dashboard to check.
Morning Briefings: Assembles the day's calls, who you are meeting, what changed since you last spoke, and relevant news before you open a tab.
Approval-Gated Automation: Notices repeating work and offers to take it over, but asks before automating anything and never sends output until you approve it.
Pre-Built GTM Agents: Ready-made agents for outreach personalization, warm intro finding, call preparation, LinkedIn listening, new hire finding, and conference prep give teams a starting point.
Custom Agent Builder: Describe a process in plain language and Tadata builds the agent, then refines it as it learns how your team likes the work done.
Broad Tool Connectors: Reads and writes across HubSpot, Attio, Notion, Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Granola, Monday.com, Hunter.io, and any MCP or API endpoint.
External Web Research: Gathers context from company sites, careers pages, job boards, filings, reviews, social platforms, and local listings to enrich internal records.
Portable, Model-Agnostic Memory: Automations, preferences, exceptions, and learned recipes can be exported and versioned, and sit between your work and any frontier model to avoid provider lock-in.

Pre-Call Preparation: Walk into every meeting briefed on the account, the attendees, and what changed since the last conversation.
Post-Call Follow-Up: Have the follow-up email drafted, CRM fields filled, and the next step written for approval as soon as a call ends.
Personalized Outreach at Scale: Add a researched opener to every prospecting message without copy-pasting research between tabs.
Warm Introduction Mapping: Find the shortest path into a target account through people your team already knows.
Buying-Signal Monitoring: Flag ICP LinkedIn posts and newly hired decision-makers the moment a solvable problem or opening appears.
GTM Ops Automation: Let the systems owner hand off recurring reporting and data-hygiene chores that currently run on manual checklists.
Conference Planning: Produce a prioritized target list before an event instead of triaging badges on the floor.
