Split Inbox that learns
Conversations are sorted into sub-inboxes before you look at them, and your own corrections are what teach the next pass. Labels sit alongside it.
Tenger Works
Part of Tenger Ways
One fabric for what you say, what you mean to do, and when you'll do it.
A fast, private email and calendar client for Windows, wired to your goals. Any message becomes a scheduled step toward who you're becoming, in one keystroke.
Windows Desktop · In Alpha
What it is
Tenger Works is a keyboard-driven Windows desktop client. It unifies Microsoft 365 mail and calendar with Atomic Wins as the single task, habit and identity layer, so what you say, what you intend and when you'll do it stop living in three separate applications.
It is local-first. Mail, calendar and search read from a database on your own machine, so every view opens without waiting on a server and search keeps working offline.
Not another aggregator
Tools that read your inbox and write a copy leave you with two records that drift. Works owns the client, so the email, the win and the calendar block are one object wearing three faces.
Built for the keyboard
Every surface is reachable and operable from the home row. The mouse is additive, never required.
Your credentials stay yours
Sign-in tokens live in Windows Credential Manager, never in the application's own database or logs, and the client never holds an AI provider key.
What it does
Shipped and in daily use.
Mail
Mail
Push mail, with a floor under it
New mail arrives the moment it is delivered, over a live subscription. When push is unhealthy the client falls back to polling, so mail never depends on it.
Mail
Snooze, send later, undo send
Snoozes roam between machines rather than living on one install. A durable outbox means you can write and send with no connection and nothing is sent twice.
Mail
Email that renders honestly
Designed mail renders at its own width on a card; plain mail takes the application's theme. Remote images load through a proxy, so opening a newsletter does not report your address or your location back to the sender.
Calendar
A calendar, not a sidebar
Day, week and month views with full event editing, including recurring series, drag to reschedule, and RSVP written back to the organiser.
Wins
Turn an email into a win
Promote any message to a win on your calendar without leaving the inbox. The win keeps its link back to the message it came from.
Wins
One identity across the desk
The Atomic Wins account is the single Tenger identity. Goals, habits and identity tiers are the same objects here as they are there.
AI
Four assists, no key on the device
Event extraction, reply drafting, categorisation and spam adjudication. Every model call is brokered by a service, so no provider key is ever stored on your machine and spend is metered per person.
Speed
Local-first search
Full-text and partial-word search runs against the local database, so results appear as you type and keep working with no connection.
Craft
A hint bar that gets out of the way
The application teaches its own shortcuts, then retires each hint once you have learned it, and brings one back if you stop using it.
Craft
Four themes, light and dark
Tenger Works, Supernova, Classic and Atomic, each in light, dark or automatic. A real dark mode, not a filtered one.
Craft
Signed updates that just arrive
The client updates itself from a signed feed. There is one artifact and one version number, so what you are running is never a question.
Why it earns the desk
Mail clients treat a message as something to answer. Task applications treat a task as something to schedule. Neither knows that the message and the task are the same commitment, so you re-type one into the other and the two records drift apart within a week.
Works closes that gap in the substrate rather than in a bundle. One object, three faces: the message you received, the win you committed to, the block on the day you will do it. Change one and the others already know.
Windows desktop. Tenger Works is a Windows application, installed from a signed installer. On first run Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt, because the installer is signed but not yet widely distributed. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Mac and mobile shells are later work, not available now.
Where it is today
Tenger Works is in alpha and in daily use inside Tenger Ways. It is released, self-updating, and being built in the open against real mailboxes rather than a demo.
Access is by invitation while it is in alpha. If you work with Tenger Ways and want it on your desk, ask your usual contact.
