Connected accounts — Email, Calendar & Apple apps

Updated August 20, 2026

Email insights

Connect Gmail (Settings → Accounts, or the gear in the Email header) and mail syncs from Google's servers straight to this Mac — no service in the middle.

  • Bundles — categorical mail (newsletters, promotions, receipts) is grouped so your inbox reads as a handful of piles, not a hundred rows. Each pile is a card naming it, when its newest mail arrived, and who has been writing lately; click one to drill into just that mail. Personal mail is never sorted into a topic bundle.
  • Reading pane — a message opens beside the list rather than replacing it. Drag the divider to resize, or use the panel button in the header for a full-width list. The page itself never scrolls: the sidebar, list, message, and insights each scroll on their own.
  • Finding mail — the search box matches your words in any order across sender, subject, snippet, and the bodies of mail already synced to this Mac. One-letter typos still match on longer words, accents fold ("jose" finds José), "quotes" force an exact phrase, and you can narrow with from:, to:, subject:, is:unread or is:read.
  • Insights — the AI reads every incoming email and writes short summaries of what matters: bills, receipts, renewals, appointments, reservations, deliveries, deadlines, codes. They live in the Email AI app (the door at the foot of the Inbox's labels sidebar, or Cmd+K then "email ai"), filed into one-noun folders, with an Overview of what is coming up and what arrived since you last looked. Opening a message in the Inbox shows its insight right under it.
  • Trips — reservations that belong together (the flight out, the hotel, the rental car, the return leg) group themselves into a trip by their dates; nothing to set up. A coming trip gets its own card on Home, and the Trips entry in Email AI keeps the index of upcoming and past ones.
  • Needs reply / Waiting on them — two computed lists at the top of the Inbox sidebar: mail a person sent you that you have not answered, and mail you sent that has been quiet for three days. Reply or archive and a thread clears itself; right-click a row for "No reply needed" or "Stop waiting on this".
  • Action items — deadlines, renewals, RSVPs found in mail become tasks automatically, with a source badge linking back to the email. Confirm or dismiss; never retype.

Each Mac syncs mail independently (Gmail is the source of truth), and analysis happens locally on your model.

Calendar

The Calendar shows your scheduled tasks and Google Calendar events on one timeline — month, week, or day. It's a lens: tasks live in Tasks, events live in Google; the calendar just lets you see time.

Connect Google Calendar in Settings → Accounts. Today's events also appear at the bottom of the Tasks Today page for time context.

With more than one calendar account connected, the rail on the left scopes the grid to a single account. "All accounts" brings the rest back, and the hamburger beside the title folds the rail away.

Apple Reminders, Notes & Calendar

Settings → Accounts → Apple apps imports what this Mac's own Apple apps already hold — no Apple ID or password involved, just a one-time macOS permission prompt. Each import is a separate switch:

  • Apple Reminders → Tasks — every open reminder becomes a task, with its due date, time, and repeat (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly). Each task is tagged apple-reminders plus the name of its Reminders list, and a list picker under the switch chooses which lists to import. Completing a reminder in Apple Reminders marks the task done here on the next import.
  • Apple Notes → Notes — notes come across with their text, tagged apple-notes. Locked notes are skipped. Turn this on for one Mac only; imported notes reach your other Macs through Anjadhe's own sync.
  • Apple Calendar → Calendar — events from this Mac's iCloud and local calendars appear in the Calendar as a read-only mirror, with their own "Apple Calendar · this Mac" row in the accounts rail. Google-account calendars in the Mac's Calendar app are deliberately left out — Anjadhe syncs Google Calendar itself.

All three are one-way: nothing is ever written back to the Apple apps. Imports run when the app opens, plus an "Import now" button on each row. A note or task you edit in Anjadhe keeps your edit — later changes on the Apple side no longer touch it. Turning a switch off removes what it imported (everything stays in the Apple app; turning it back on brings it all back).
