Automation

Interview guard agent

Makes sure no interview is ever missed: invites go on the family calendar and the phone reminds you 30 and 10 minutes before.

how it works

launchd every 5 min: finds .ics invites in Gmail, adds job VEVENTs to the shared calendar with timezone conversion and conflict callouts, T-30/T-10 pushes, post-interview debrief cards; never deletes events.

Automation: Something that runs on a schedule by itself.

The code for this one lives in a private repo. This page explains the idea so you can build your own.
