Hi! We are Maria and James, your personal desktop assistants.

If you spend several hours a day at your computer, you know the challenge: emails keep arriving, meetings are coming up, tasks change, and the information you need is scattered across applications, browser tabs, files and folders.

Keeping track of everything can become a job in itself.

That's where we come in.

We keep an eye on your emails, meetings and tasks while giving you instant access to everything that matters — emails, meetings, tasks, links, files and folders.

You don't have to carry your workday alone anymore.

More productivity. Less stress. More life.

Every great assistant needs a place to work.

Maria & James work from the assistant bar at the top of your screen – always nearby, yet never in the way.

Each icon opens a Quickie: a dedicated workspace for your emails, calendar, tasks or one of your personal Pinboards.

Whether you want to check an important email, open a meeting, find a project folder or launch a frequently used website, it's all just one click away.

Subtle light strips below the icons let you know when something needs your attention — without interrupting your work.

Your personal back office – there when you need it.

Every day, new emails compete for your attention.

Some can wait. Others can't.

Maria & James keep an eye on the folders you choose and let you know when something needs your attention.

Whether it's an important customer email, a message from your manager, a newly assigned task or a critical system alert, we'll make sure you don't miss it — and when you need it, it's just one click away.

No more constantly checking your inbox.

It's easy to lose track of time when you're deeply focused on your work.

Maria & James keep an eye on your calendar and let you know when something needs your attention — from a new meeting request to your next appointment.

Your upcoming appointments can even remain visible in the assistant bar, so you always know what's next.

Stay focused. We'll keep an eye on the time.

Create a dedicated workspace for every project with Pinboards.

Keep websites, files, folders and application shortcuts together in one place—always just one click away.

Organize every project the way you work, so you always know where to find what you need.

Switch between projects without searching for what you need.

Less searching. Less stress. More focus.

Keeping up with changing tasks shouldn't become a task itself.

Maria & James keep an eye on your tasks, notify you when something important happens and keep everything just one click away.

Whether you're assigned a new task or one you're watching changes, we'll let you know.

Focus on your work. We'll keep an eye on your tasks.

Hi, I'm Sven.

Passionate about innovation and software development, with over 50,000 hours of professional experience and more than 1,000,000 lines of code personally written.

Throughout my career, one problem kept getting worse: more emails, more meetings, more tasks, more browser tabs and more information competing for my attention.

I wasn't looking for another productivity application.

I wanted someone to help me keep track of everything.

That's how Maria & James came to life.

But there was something else I wanted Maria & James to become.

Do you remember your favorite teddy bear?

The one who was always there. The one who gave you the quiet confidence that everything would be okay.

Growing up meant leaving that teddy bear behind—but not the need to know someone is looking out for you.

That's why I created Maria & James.

While you focus on what matters, Maria & James quietly watch over your emails, meetings, tasks, and reminders, so nothing important slips through the cracks.

Think of them as your Teddy 2.0.

Not because they replace your childhood teddy bear — but because they give you the confidence that someone is looking out for you.
