Make each day clearer, and keep what matters moving.
Helm is a personal workspace that helps you get through today well and keep growing over time.
Helm brings input, daily action, long-term progress, and reflection back into one clear rhythm, so you do not have to keep switching between scattered tools and broken routines.
Why Helm
Often, the problem is not effort.It is how easily important things get fragmented.Often, the problem is not effort.It is how easily important things get fragmented.
When today's work, loose inputs, long-term goals, and reflection all live in different places, execution becomes discontinuous and important work loses its sense of momentum.
Today is not clear enough
You may know you are busy, but not what deserves your attention first today.
Inputs slip too easily
Ideas, screenshots, follow-ups, and research trails appear quickly, then scatter across too many places.
Long-term work keeps getting swallowed by the day
Work that really matters and needs multiple days of follow-through often gets pushed back by whatever feels urgent right now.
Day One Value
From day one,Helm makes it easier to get into the right rhythm.From day one,Helm makes it easier to get into the right rhythm.
Helm does not wait until you learn every feature before it becomes useful. The value starts the first time you open it, when your day becomes clearer and more continuous.
01
See today clearly
Today helps you quickly decide what to look at first and what to do first, instead of making you reorganize everything before you begin.
02
Capture before it slips
Capsule gives text, screenshots, and loose clues a place to land before you decide whether they belong in Today or in longer-term work.
03
Keep your rhythm
KEEP keeps habits and recurring actions visible, so you do not have to reorganize yourself from scratch every day.
04
See your progress
Diary and History turn daily action into something you can revisit, so progress does not stay trapped in the moment.
Your day, your inputs, your rhythm, and your reflection connect from the very beginning
Helm is not about piling more modules in front of you. It reconnects the few actions that matter most each day into one rhythm: see clearly, capture quickly, stay consistent, and look back over time.
- The default workspace still gives you an immediate starting surface, with Today and KEEP at the center of your daily rhythm
- Capsule catches fleeting inputs without interrupting what you are doing or letting them disappear
- Diary and History leave behind a trail of daily execution, so you can see that you are actually moving forward
New in v2.0
With v2.0, Helm goes beyond daily clarityand expands into long-term progress and AI agent collaboration.With v2.0, Helm goes beyond daily clarityand expands into long-term progress and AI agent collaboration.
This release does not simply pile more features onto the existing workspace. It brings two missing layers fully into Helm: long-term progress and real collaboration with AI agents.
Task Board: a real place for long-term momentum
Task Board is not a duplicate of Today. It is Helm's long-term progress layer. Work that spans multiple days, multiple projects, and repeated review no longer has to stay squeezed into today.
- Use pool, todo, doing, and done columns to reflect real execution states
- Use urgency and importance views to judge the priority of longer-running work
- Pull tasks in from Capsule or send selected work into Today to connect input and execution
AI agent collaboration: bring external agents like OpenClaw into Helm
This layer is not about handing over control. It is about letting external AI agents such as OpenClaw read context, write back within clear boundaries, and return messages inside Helm. OpenAPI is the foundation that makes this collaboration possible.
- Read Today, Task Board, KEEP, and Capsule with scoped access and safe write-back behavior
- Use API keys, scopes, quotas, expiry, and revoke flows to keep external agent access bounded and legible
- Let agents send owner-facing messages inside Helm so findings and next steps come back into the product
Why Helm Feels Different
Helm is not just another to-do app.It is a more continuous way to work.Helm is not just another to-do app.It is a more continuous way to work.
The difference is not that Helm has more feature names. The difference is that input, action, habits, long-term progress, and AI collaboration can finally happen in one continuous rhythm.
You do not have to organize the system before you can start working
You can see what is most worth moving first today instead of spending your energy arranging the tool itself.
Ideas and tasks do not live in separate worlds
From Capsule to Today to Task Board, input and execution are not split apart.
Long-term work does not survive on willpower alone
KEEP, Task Board, and the review layer work together to keep important work visible and moving over time.
AI works with you, not over you
AI can read context, move explicit work forward, and write results back, but your rhythm and boundaries still define the system.
Start Simple
Start with today, then expand naturally when you need more.
Helm does not ask you to change your whole way of working upfront. You can begin with the lightest possible setup, then expand into long-term progress and AI collaboration when the need appears.
Start right away
You do not need to understand every capability first. Start with Helm's day-one value.
- Open the workspace and start with the core daily rhythm layer right away
- See first whether Today, Capsule, and KEEP fit your actual routine
- You do not need to choose a long-term mode or build a complicated system up front
Let the experience become continuous
Once Helm starts carrying continuity value, sign-in brings saving, history, and a more consistent experience with it.
- Keep key setup and workspace state intact
- Let Today, KEEP, and Diary gradually form a continuous record
- Turn daily use into a personal trail you can actually revisit
Expand when the work gets deeper
When you start managing longer-running projects or want AI to participate in collaboration, the member layer becomes the better fit.
- A better fit for long-term, multi-project, higher-frequency work
- Unlock the OpenAPI to connect external AI agents safely
- Move from a useful daily product into a more complete personal execution system
FAQ
The most common questions when you first meet Helm.
These questions help new users quickly decide whether Helm fits them and where to begin.
How is Helm different from a normal to-do app?
Helm does more than list tasks. It connects Today, input capture, habit maintenance, long-term progress, and reflection so execution feels continuous instead of split across multiple tools.
Where should I start if I am new to Helm?
Start with Today, Capsule, and KEEP. First see whether the day feels clearer. Then bring in long-term tasks and AI collaboration when you actually need them.
What is the difference between Task Board and Today?
Today is better for short-cycle daily execution. Task Board is better for long-term work that spans multiple days, multiple projects, and repeated review. They connect, but they do not replace each other.
Why is Helm's AI agent collaboration controllable?
Because external agents do not get full access by default. Helm uses API keys, scopes, quotas, revoke flows, and in-product messaging to keep AI help within the boundaries you define.
Is Helm still valuable if I never use AI?
Yes. The first layer of value comes from Today, Capsule, KEEP, and the reflection layer. AI collaboration is a v2.0 enhancement, not a requirement for using Helm.
