Tempo — All your events, one timeline.

Connect anything.
Build your own actions.

Tempo ships with built-in templates for popular tools. But if your tool can send a POST request, it already works with Tempo — no plugin, no code required.

Define custom actions for any event type using the Action Builder — a visual editor that lets you create buttons, commands, and shortcuts tailored to your workflow. Share your templates with the community, or import theirs in one click.

// Any tool that speaks HTTP // becomes a Tempo source { "title": "web-01 DOWN", "eventType": "alert", "actions": [ { "label": "SSH", "trigger": "openURL" }, { "label": "Ping", "trigger": "terminal" } ] }

Q & A

Tempo is a native Mac app that aggregates events from all your tools — calendar, tasks, alerts, scripts, backups — into a single chronological timeline. For each event, it surfaces the actions you need: open a dashboard, run a command, join a call, review a PR. One place to see what's happening and know what to do next.

Planned events are things you scheduled: meetings, tasks with due dates, reminders. Unplanned events are things that happen to you: server alerts, failed backups, PR review requests, script results. Most tools only show one side. Tempo shows both in the same timeline, so you always have the full picture.

Yes — this is the core of Tempo. Every event type has its own set of actions, and you define them yourself using the Action Builder: a visual editor, no code required. Actions can open URLs, run terminal commands, execute scripts, or trigger Apple Shortcuts. You can use dynamic tokens from the event payload — {{host}}, {{ip}}, {{title}} — so each button is pre-filled with the right context when you click it.

n8n is great — but it solves a different problem. n8n automates workflows server-side. Tempo centralizes visibility on your Mac. It reads your local calendar, tasks, and reminders (things n8n can't touch), puts them alongside your alerts and script results, and lets you decide what to do. Tempo never acts on its own.

No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Everything lives in a local SQLite database on your Mac. The built-in HTTP server (IngestionServer) listens on localhost only by default — it never exposes your data to the internet.

No. Tempo will be distributed outside the App Store (direct download). This lets it use features like a local HTTP server and AppleScript automations that Apple's sandbox would restrict.

Yes. Tempo reads from Apple Calendar via EventKit, which natively syncs CalDAV accounts. If your calendar shows up in the Apple Calendar app, it shows up in Tempo.
