Email Checker for Mac
Automated email assistant for Apple Mail on macOS. Runs on a schedule, scores your unread emails by priority, drafts AI replies, and sends you a report — so you can manage your inbox from Telegram or WhatsApp without ever opening Mail.app.
Installation
git clone https://github.com/entzclaw/email-checker-for-mac
cd email-checker-for-mac
bash setup.sh
Setup
The wizard handles everything:
- Auto-discovers your Mail.app accounts
- Prompts for name, report email, trusted senders
- Picks your LLM provider (LM Studio, Ollama, OpenAI, or skip)
- Tests the connection and writes
config/settings.json - Installs the crontab
