Siesta: the anti-todo list that runs Gemma 3 1B in your browser and tells you to do less

Siesta is an anti-todo list that allows users to input all their tasks, concerns, and worries in a single list. The AI model, Gemma 3 1B, then processes this list and returns a minimal set of actions for the user to accomplish, along with a parking lot for less urgent tasks and a list of items that can be safely forgotten. This process occurs entirely within the user's browser tab, with no need for an account, server, or API key.

Siesta aims to reduce the mental burden of deciding what should be done, as procrastination often arises from this very decision-making process.
