✨ What is Delay?

Delay is a local-first desktop Agentic OS with 10 modular workspaces — notes, tasks, calendar, timer, kanban, whiteboard, code studio, voice studio, disk flows — all unified behind an autonomous AI Agent. Everything lives on your device — no accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

🧩 Features (v2.3.0)

Module	Highlights
🤖 AI Agent	Unified autonomous agent with file control, terminal execution, and 20+ tools
📝 Notes	TipTap docs · 13 slash commands · Export (MD/HTML/TXT) · 10 templates · Voice dictation
✅ Tasks	Priority · Due dates · Inbox/Today/Upcoming views · Custom lists
📅 Calendar	Month / Week / Day views · Events + tasks unified
⏱️ Timer + Goals	Pomodoro with purpose-driven goals · Focus/break scheduling · Multi-day tracking
📋 Kanban	Drag-and-drop columns & cards · Custom columns · Color labels
🎨 Whiteboard	Miro-like infinite canvas · Sticky notes · Shapes · Pen · Pan/zoom · Grid/dots
💻 Code Studio	Monaco IDE · File tree · Terminal · AI coding agent
💾 Disk Flows	Video download · Quality selection · In-app playback
🎙️ Voice Studio	Smart recording · Live waveform · Playback & download
⚙️ Customizable	Toggle modules on/off · Onboarding module picker · Custom backgrounds

📥 Download

Grab the latest Delay-Setup-2.3.0.exe from the Releases page, or visit the landing page.

Requirements: Windows 10 or 11 (x64). Optional: Ollama for AI features. Optional: yt-dlp for Disk Flows video downloads.

🛡️ Windows SmartScreen — "Windows protected your PC"

Delay is built by an independent developer and is not yet code-signed with a paid EV certificate. On first launch Windows may show a blue SmartScreen banner. The app is safe — it's a standard open-source Electron build uploaded via a public CI pipeline (workflow).

To install safely:

1. Download the latest .exe and the matching SHA256SUMS.txt from Releases.
2. (Optional but recommended) verify the download integrity:

   Get-FileHash .\Delay-Setup-2.3.0.exe -Algorithm SHA256

   The hash must match the one in SHA256SUMS.txt.
3. Double-click the installer. If SmartScreen appears, click More info → Run anyway.
4. Follow the NSIS installer (you can choose the install directory).

SmartScreen reputation accumulates automatically as more users install. Code-signing via SignPath Foundation (free for OSS) is on the roadmap — PRs welcome.
