Getting started

One thought.
A good start.

You don’t need to connect your whole working life to begin. Install Offscript, sign in, and give one useful thought somewhere to live.

  1. Choose the build for your Mac.

    Open Apple menu → About This Mac. If you see an Apple M-series chip, choose Apple Silicon. If you see an Intel processor, choose Intel on the download page.

    Open the downloaded installer and follow its installation instructions. Launch Offscript from Applications. If macOS blocks the app, contact support with the exact message rather than disabling your Mac’s security settings.

  2. Sign in to your workspace.

    Follow the app’s sign-in prompts. Use the account you want associated with your saved work. Start with the free plan; you can review paid plans in the app later.

  3. Save one thought worth returning to.

    Use the app’s note or voice capture to save an idea. Include what it concerns and why it matters. If you use voice capture, allow the requested microphone access for that feature.

    Try something small: “The handoff is unclear. I want to find out who owns the final review before proposing a new process.” Avoid sensitive work material until you have reviewed how capture and processing work.

  4. Bring it back with a useful question.

    Look for the thought in your saved work or ask about the same topic. Check that the relevant context is there. Then identify one next step you can choose yourself.

    Our idea-to-plan guide gives you a simple structure for doing this.

  5. Add a connection when it helps.

    Open Settings → Connections. Choose a service available to your account, review its permissions and confirm the intended account or workspace. Start with one.

    Read the connection guides for setup and limitations. A connected status is a starting point; check a familiar event or conversation before relying on the context.

A small check before you settle in.

  • You can find the thought you saved.
  • The app shows the account you intended to use.
  • Any connected service shows the right account or workspace.
  • You know where to review your plan and disconnect a service.

If something fails, contact support with your Mac type, macOS version, Offscript version and the step that failed. You do not need to send private meeting content.
