PacedMind
Find your pace.
A calm planner for your tasks, time blocks and deadlines. It starts your Claude Code and Codex sessions and tells you when one is waiting for you.
Free on one device. No account needed. Open source.
Plan the day you have
What's scheduled, overdue, due and planned for today, in one list. When an agent finishes, PacedMind tells you and books a short check in your day.
Connect your agent. Pick your agent, then Allow.
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT and other agents plan with you through PacedMind Cloud's MCP server: they read your day, add tasks and report on their work. You allow each one in the browser, so there's no token to copy.
Run these in a terminal.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user pacedmind https://app.pacedmind.com/api/mcpclaude mcp login pacedmindAfter the second one, PacedMind opens in your browser: sign in and select Allow. Claude Code, and the Code sessions in the Claude app, can then use it.

Your day, and your agents'. When one finishes, a check lands in your day.
Tasks, time blocks, deadlines and events share your line. Claude Code and Codex each get one of their own. Press play to watch a day go by, at the pace you choose.
Claude Code finished WEB-12. Its check is at 11:15, and WEB-14 waits until you start it.
A day in PacedMind, written as a score. Drag along the hours to move through it.
The day: a standup at 08:30 and a focus block for the pricing page from 09:00 to 11:00. You start WEB-10 in the Claude app at 09:10; when it finishes at 09:52, you start WEB-12, which waits for it, in a terminal, and it finishes at 10:42. At 09:40 you start APP-31 with Codex in a terminal; it works until 11:10. PacedMind books their checks right after your focus block, at 11:00, 11:15 and 11:30. At 11:20 you mark WEB-12 done and send WEB-14, which waits for it, to Codex cloud; it finishes at 13:20, and its check is at 13:30, after lunch with Ana. You book the dentist at 14:00 and prepare the Q4 slides before they’re due at 17:00. At 18:00 you ask Claude in a chat to start WEB-16; it starts in a terminal once you allow it in PacedMind, and finishes at 18:47.
Every session in its place. In a terminal, the agent's app or the cloud.
Each task says where its session runs. PacedMind finds Claude Code and Codex on your computer by itself, starts every session in its place and keeps track of all of them.
| Time | Task | Agent | Where | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09:10 | WEB-10 Draft the home page | Claude Code | Claude app | Done |
| 09:40 | APP-31 Fix calendar sync after sleep | Codex | Terminal | Running |
| 09:52 | WEB-12 Write the pricing page | Claude Code | Terminal | Waiting for you |
| No time yet | WEB-14 Compress the hero images | Codex | Codex cloud | Waits for WEB-12 |
| No time yet | WEB-16 Draft the launch announcement | Claude Code | Terminal | Not started |
In a terminal
Claude Code or Codex opens in a new terminal, in the task's folder, with the task as its first message.
In the agent's app
The Claude or Codex app opens a new session in the task's folder, with the first message written for you to send.
In the agent's cloud
Claude Code on the web and Codex cloud work on a copy of your repository, on a new branch named after the task.
Until you choose, a task runs in a terminal, or in the agent's app when its command-line tool isn't there. With Cloud, a task can also run on another of your computers.

Frequently asked questions
What is PacedMind?
PacedMind is a calm planner for your tasks, time blocks and deadlines. It starts your Claude Code and Codex sessions and tells you when one is waiting for you.
How much does PacedMind cost?
PacedMind is free on one device, without an account. Cloud, with unlimited tasks in the cloud and all your devices in sync, costs about the price of a music subscription in your country, monthly, or ten months' worth for a year. It starts with 7 days free, without a card.
Which computers does PacedMind run on?
Windows and macOS.
How does PacedMind work with Claude Code and Codex?
Start a session from a task, and PacedMind opens Claude Code or Codex in a terminal or in the agent's desktop app, where you talk to the agent as usual, or sends the task to the agent's cloud. You can also ask an agent in any chat to start one on any of your computers, and each asks you first unless you let it start them itself. Nothing starts on its own: the dependencies you draw on the Timeline only put the work in order. When an agent finishes, PacedMind tells you and books a short check in your day.
How do I connect my agent to PacedMind?
With PacedMind Cloud, agents use its MCP server at https://app.pacedmind.com/api/mcp. For Claude Code, run "claude mcp add --transport http --scope user pacedmind https://app.pacedmind.com/api/mcp" and then "claude mcp login pacedmind"; for Codex, "codex mcp add pacedmind --url https://app.pacedmind.com/api/mcp" and then "codex mcp login pacedmind". Cursor and VS Code add it with one click from pacedmind.com/connect, and Claude and ChatGPT as a custom connector. The agent then opens PacedMind in your browser, where you sign in and select Allow. Without an account, the desktop app connects Claude Code and Codex to itself, in Settings → Connect your agents.
Which coding agents does PacedMind work with?
PacedMind starts Claude Code and Codex, in a terminal, in their desktop apps or in their cloud; support for more agent harnesses is coming soon. Any agent that speaks MCP, such as Cursor, VS Code, Claude or ChatGPT, can plan with you through PacedMind Cloud.
Do I need Claude Code or Codex to use PacedMind?
No. Tasks, time blocks, the calendar and deadlines work on their own. The agent sessions are there when you want them.
Does PacedMind need an API key?
No. PacedMind doesn't run an AI model of its own. It starts the Claude Code and Codex you already use, and they report back to PacedMind on your computer.
Where is my plan stored?
On your computer, and you don't need an account. With Cloud, you sign in and your plan stays in sync across all your devices.
Is PacedMind open source?
Yes. The desktop app, the web app and Cloud's database rules are on GitHub at github.com/Pacedmind/pacedmind, under the GNU AGPL. You can read the code, build PacedMind yourself and send changes.
