Apps & Custom Trackers
Need a meal planner, a habit tracker, a decision matrix, or a dashboard for your side project? Just describe it to your AI and it builds a fully functional web app — hosted on your own instance, accessible from any device, with its own persistent data storage.
Overview
Apps in myOS are lightweight web applications created through conversation. They're built with standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and enhanced with the myOS SDK, which lets them read and write data, call your AI, and interact with every capability in your system.
Every app gets:
- Its own URL — open it in a new tab or embed it in your workspace
- Persistent data storage — a key-value store that survives across sessions
- Full myOS integration — call capabilities, execute functions, and access your AI at runtime
- Iterative development — keep chatting to refine, extend, or redesign your app
Apps are built by the Web Builder agent, a specialized subagent that understands UI design, responsive layouts, and the myOS ecosystem.
What You Can Do
Ask Your Assistant
Describe the app you want in plain language. The AI handles everything — design, code, deployment:
- "Build me a reading tracker where I can log books and rate them"
- "Create a dashboard showing my exercise stats and mood trends"
- "Make a meal planning app with a weekly grid and shopping list"
- "Build a simple CRM to track my consulting contacts"
After the first version, keep iterating:
- "Add a dark mode toggle"
- "Make the chart show weekly averages instead of daily"
- "Add a search bar to filter contacts"
- "The button color doesn't match — make it more subtle"
Try asking: "Build me a personal finance tracker. I want to log income and expenses, see a monthly breakdown chart, and track my savings rate." Your AI creates the app, and you can immediately start using it. Come back anytime to ask for changes.
From the UI
- Apps panel — browse all your apps in one place with titles and descriptions
- Open in new tab — launch any app at its own URL for a full-screen experience
- Inline preview — apps can render directly in your workspace
- Conversation link — every app is linked to the conversation that created it, so you can jump back to iterate
Examples
Health dashboard
You ask your AI to build a health dashboard. It creates an app with interactive charts showing your exercise frequency, mood trends, sleep patterns, and weight trajectory. The app reads your data live from myOS, so it's always up to date. You open it on your phone each morning to check your streaks.
Project tracker
You describe a Kanban board for your side project. The AI builds it with draggable columns, task cards, and a progress bar. Each task links to your myOS task system, so changes sync both ways. You ask to add a burndown chart the following week and the AI updates the app in seconds.
Decision tool
Facing a career decision, you ask for a weighted decision matrix. The AI builds an interactive tool where you input options and criteria, assign weights, and see scores calculated in real time. You save the result as a note for future reference.
Tips
Apps can call any myOS capability at runtime. This means your dashboard can pull live task data, your tracker can log activities, and your tools can create notes — all without leaving the app.
Each app has its own data store. This is separate from your main myOS data — perfect for app-specific state like user preferences, draft content, or cached calculations that don't need to live in your life system.
Apps can also call custom functions you've built with the Function Builder. This lets you move complex backend logic (API calls, data processing, calculations) into a function and keep the app focused on the UI.
