How do I get started with Littlebird?

Install the app, grant the macOS accessibility permissions it asks for, and start working. Littlebird works immediately, with zero setup: it pays attention to the active window you are working in and starts building context from the work you are already doing. No integrations are required, and it gets more useful over time.

More detail

There is deliberately no setup project. Most assistants make you do the work up front: connect accounts, import documents, write instructions. Littlebird inverts that. The moment it can see your active window, it is learning your work, and the first meeting it hears becomes the first meeting it can summarize.

The permissions are yours to shape from day one: you decide whether Littlebird runs at startup, you can pause context collection whenever you want, and you can exclude specific apps entirely.

Connecting apps like Gmail, Google Calendar, or Notion is optional and comes later, when you want deeper access and actions. Nothing about the core experience depends on it.
