Connect Google

Bring Gmail and Calendar into Home, where each item arrives with a next step: a reply to review, an invite to answer or a mission to start.

Connect your account

Open Settings › Connected accounts and choose Connect Google on the Google row. Home offers the same button beside "Bring email and calendar work into Home." Finish in your browser: choose your Google account and keep both Gmail and Calendar access selected. Skyflo asks to read your mail, send the replies you approve, and read and answer calendar events.

During setup, Google may show a screen saying it has not verified the app. Choose Advanced, then the link to continue to Skyflo, and review the access it asks for.

The row then shows Connected. Partial access means one permission was cleared; reconnect and keep both selected. Choose Add account to connect another Google account.

What arrives on Home

Skyflo reads your Gmail inbox and your primary calendar and checks for changes every 10 minutes. The first read covers the last 7 days of mail and calendar events from yesterday to two weeks ahead. Promotions, Social, Forums, spam and trash are skipped. Bulk mail is kept only from senders you have written to.

Each item arrives in a lane with a next step:

Next stepWhat you do
Reply readySkyflo drafted a reply because the message needs one. Review reply, then Send reply, Rewrite or Draft again.
Invite to answerChoose Accept, Maybe or Decline. The recommended answer comes first.
Mission readyReview mission, then Start mission. It runs in the item's area with your usual approvals.
For you to doSomething only you can do. Open in Gmail or Open in Calendar goes to the thread or event.

Skyflo drafts a reply only when one is needed. Mail is sent and invitations are answered only when you choose to.

Work Skyflo starts itself

Within an area's limits, Skyflo can start the mission an item needs on its own and report afterwards. The area's daily limit caps how many it starts. On Prepares, the mission drafts the work and asks before anything goes out; on Acts, it runs with Full access and tells you after. Items that belong to no area run in your General folder.

Privacy and plans

Connecting Google works on every plan. To sort mail and calendar and draft replies, Skyflo sends message and event content to a model. With a Moonshot or Z.ai key in Settings › Providers, it uses that key and the content goes to that provider. Otherwise it uses Skyflo's included models on a paid plan: the content goes to OpenAI through Skyflo, which does not store it or use it to train models. The Google token stays in this Mac's Keychain.

Disconnect

Open the account's … menu on the Google row and choose Disconnect. Skyflo revokes its access with Google, deletes the token from Keychain and removes what it derived from that account on this Mac. If Google does not confirm the revocation, Skyflo says so; you can also remove Skyflo at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
