No more piles. Mail, tasks and notes land on the day they belong to, planned work is blocked on your calendar, and all of it stays on your Mac.
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Apple silicon. No account with us, no server, nothing sent anywhere.
Two inboxes, a to-do app, the team's Asana, a calendar, a notebook. Everything in a pile looks equally urgent, and the pile ends up running your day.
Your mail accounts, your tasks and your notes sit side by side on one board, beside your calendar. Nothing is hiding further down a list.
Today holds what you decided to deal with today. The days ahead hold what you put there on purpose. The pile becomes a week you can see.
Every conversation gets one of three answers: read it, mark it done, or give it a day. "I'll review this on Thursday" is something you type, and it moves out of today's way.
A task lives beside the mail it relates to, on the day it belongs to. A note is a thought filed on the day you will process it. Tag a note to log and it is written into your Obsidian vault as a Markdown file, then leaves the board.
Real work gets an estimate and a slot on your calendar, next to your meetings. Move the block and the board follows; move the item and the block follows. Small things are batched into one tactical block instead of scattered across the day.
Arrow keys to move, one letter per action, G to go anywhere, and ⌘K lists every command with its key. Your hands never leave the keys.
Read, reply, archive and plan without a connection. Sends queue and go out exactly once when you are back online. Nothing is lost on quit, sleep or a crash.
Work and personal mail side by side, each with its own rules. A work account can be told to be strict: images on request, nothing archived without you.
The full build carries a small language model that runs on your Mac. It judges mail against filters you write in plain English, briefs you on a long thread, and suggests a free slot. It can mark and propose; it can never send, delete or archive.
Google Calendar or Microsoft 365, in the app. Schedule an item and it moves to that day on the board; move a block and the board asks whether to follow.
Link a folder of Markdown, one file per person, and your own note on whoever you are writing to sits beside their mail. An Obsidian vault works as it is.
Blocks talks to Google or Microsoft directly, for the accounts you connect. There is no Blocks server in between, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no analytics.
You sign in through Google's or Microsoft's own page. Blocks never sees your password; the tokens it receives are encrypted with your Mac's Keychain.
A tracking pixel is a remote image. Blocks loads none until you ask, per conversation or per sender, and strips cookies and referrers when it does.
The full detail is in the Privacy Policy. Blocks' use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
