How it works

Three steps, about five seconds

01

Paste the notes

Typed during the call, in whatever shorthand you use. Arrows, initials, half sentences.

02

Say who was there

Optional, and it changes the result. With a list of attendees it can put initials against the right person.

03

Send the actions round

Grouped by owner or by deadline, with the unowned ones in their own group where somebody has to claim them.

An example

One paste, every ask in it

Ten lines of shorthand from a Tuesday project call.

What went in

acme wkly // launch pulled fwd 2wks, agreed // budget NOT increasing, MG confirmed // SB brand assets thurs // legal signoff before anything public - who owns this? // need revised timeline // AR chasing VAT docs still, 3wks now // next fri 10am

Produce the revised timelineUnassigned · Before Friday
Send the brand assetsSB · Thursday
Get legal sign-off before launchUnassigned · Before go-live
Chase the outstanding VAT documentsAR · Overdue, 3 weeks
Confirm the budget position in writingMG · No date given

Two unowned actions out of five, one of them a hard gate on the launch. That ratio is normal, and it is why the unowned group sits at the top of the list rather than at the bottom.

The rules it follows

Decisions, actions, and the gap between them

Notes are not minutes. The job is working out what is a decision, what is an action, and what was just said.

What it pulls out

  • Actions with an owner and a date
  • Actions with an owner and no date
  • Actions with neither, grouped separately
  • Decisions, kept apart from actions
  • Initials matched to attendees when you supply them

What it leaves alone

  • Discussion that led nowhere
  • Anything it cannot attribute, rather than guessing
  • Dates that were never mentioned
  • Your shorthand for things only you understand
  • Priority. That call is yours
What people paste in

The jobs it gets used for

The weekly project callThirty minutes, eleven decisions, four of them actionable.
A client kickoffWhere what gets written down now decides what gets argued about later.
Board and committee notesFormal minutes, informal follow-through.
A retrospectiveLots of agreement, very few owners.
Notes from someone elseA colleague's shorthand that you now have to act on.
Back-to-back daysFour calls, four sets of notes, one list at the end.
Beyond one email

One thread, one list. You have about two hundred.

If this email had four asks buried in it, the ones you scrolled past this morning are not empty either. Pidgy does this to every email as it lands.

Every email, not this one

Pidgy reads the whole inbox as it arrives and pulls the asks out automatically, so nothing depends on you remembering to check.

Tracks who owes you what

Your own tasks, and the three people who have gone quiet on you, how long it has been, and a drafted chase ready for each.

Lands in your day

Tasks drop into a ranked list and into calendar blocks, with deadlines attached. No second app, no copy-paste.

Questions

Questions, answered

Is it really free?
Yes. Ten runs a day across all the Pidgy free tools, with no account and no card. You only see the counter once three runs remain.
How rough can my notes be?
Rough. Initials, arrows, abbreviations and half sentences all work. Supplying the attendee list is the one thing that noticeably improves the output, because it lets initials resolve to people.
What happens to actions with no owner?
They go in their own group, at the top. An unowned action is the most likely thing on the list to be missed, so hiding it among the assigned ones defeats the point.
Does it separate decisions from actions?
Yes. "Budget is not increasing" is a decision, not a task, and mixing the two produces a list full of items nobody can tick off.
Can I export the list?
Yes: a plain list, a checklist with owners and dates, or a CSV for a spreadsheet or a project tool.
Do you store what I paste?
No. The text is processed to produce the result and not kept. The tool sets no cookies and needs no consent banner. One random id sits in your browser's local storage to count the free runs, and it identifies nobody.
How is this different from Pidgy?
This works on notes you paste. Pidgy works on the email that comes out of the meeting and everything after it, tracking who owes what and chasing them when they go quiet.

The list is easy. The chasing is what fails.

Pidgy tracks who owes you what after the meeting, notices when a thread goes quiet, and queues the follow-up in your voice.
