Tuck can connect more than one calendar or mailbox. Supported connection patterns in the current product include Apple, Google, Microsoft, Fastmail, Proton through ICS, CalDAV, and IMAP depending on the account type.

Calendar context

When you capture during a meeting, Tuck can guess the meeting you are in and let you choose another event if the guess is wrong. Invitees can seed your People list, which makes @mentions more useful later.

Mail context

Pulled mail stays as context. Tuck does not automatically turn every email into a saved thought. This keeps your vault from becoming a copy of your inbox.

Meeting invites in your mail

When a calendar account is connected and its last sync worked, your calendar decides what’s on your schedule. Tuck doesn’t make events from invite emails in a connected mailbox, and removes ones it made from them earlier. That way, an event you delete from your calendar doesn’t come back because its invite is still in your inbox. Without a connected calendar, or while its sync is failing, invite emails still add events. Either way, invite emails stay linked to their meetings. Events your calendar marks as cancelled don’t show on your schedule.

Remove an account

Removing a calendar or mail account in Settings → Calendars & mail also removes the events it brought in. Your other devices drop them when they sync.
Calendar, contacts, and mail sync are available on Pro, Tucker, and Founder. If your account moves to Free, syncing stops but what already synced stays. Settings → Calendars & mail lists accounts that are no longer syncing, each with Remove.

Connect an address book

On the web app, open Settings → Calendars & mail and choose Add an address book.
  1. Choose Apple, Google, Fastmail, or CardDAV for another provider.
  2. Check the CardDAV URL and enter your account email or username and App password. Use the credentials your provider supports for CardDAV.
  3. Choose Connect address book.
This pulls contacts into People. Edits in Tuck are not written back to your address book. For Fastmail, use your sign-in email and an app password with Contacts access. If the connection shows Error, choose Fix issue, correct the URL or credentials, and choose Try again. A failed connection stays visible so you can fix it. CardDAV is available on Pro, Tucker, and Founder. You can also import a vCard file.

Control people added from mail

The Add people from email switch controls whether From and To addresses become People. Turning it off keeps future mail addresses out of People, but meeting invites can still add invitees.

Read your schedule

Choose a color for each calendar account in Settings → Calendars & mail. Time Map and the Briefing schedule use it to show where an event came from. Time Map includes a calendar legend and separates overlapping events into columns. The Schedule and Time Map headers start with the day they cover, such as Sun, Nov 1.

Set up each calendar in an account

A CalDAV account, such as Fastmail or iCloud, can hold several calendars. Each one has its own row under the account in Settings → Calendars & mail.

Give a calendar its own color

When an account has two or more calendars, each calendar has its own color dot. Choose it to pick a color. The Match (account name) swatch at the start of the picker makes the calendar follow the account’s color again. A calendar with its own color is listed by its own name in the Time Map legend.

Choose a context

Each calendar has a menu with these choices:
  • No context: the calendar counts as your own time. Every calendar starts here.
  • Work, Personal, or Family: labels for now. These count as your own time too.
  • For reference: events show faded and dashed, labeled For reference. They never take up open time on Today or Time Map, have no meeting link, and don’t bring up Awaits. Tuck also leaves them out when guessing which meeting you’re in. Use it for a calendar you want to see but not plan around, like a partner’s work schedule.
  • Hidden: Tuck stops syncing the calendar and removes its events, including from iPhone and Mac on their next sync. It stays in the list so you can bring it back.
Picking any other choice for a hidden calendar syncs the account so its events come back. Titles with link styling open the associated thought, todo, meeting link, person, or brain when one is available. Briefing keeps its wider layout even when your thought feed uses Stream.
