Everything it does

Five modules, in full.

The short version of everything Core5 can do. The ticked lines are the ones you will not find somewhere else.

Calendar

Your week, and what it costs.

  • Day, week and month, with twelve hours always on screen
  • Create, move, resize and colour an event — and it lands in Google the same second
  • Drag an email onto an hour and it becomes a meeting that still opens the email
  • Drag a task onto the grid to give it a time, or onto the all-day band to give it a day
  • Travel entries with a clock at each end — departure in one zone, arrival in another
  • Out of office, focus time and working location, as Google's own types
  • The eleven Google colours plus twenty-four more, kept exact on this Mac
  • Room booking with live free/busy, so a booked room shows as booked
  • Share your free slots as text, without giving anyone a booking page

Focus

The day, and a timer that knows what you are doing.

  • Today in three columns: what is on, what arrived, what is left
  • Drag a task or a meeting onto the timer to start working on it
  • Milestones: how much of the day you have actually closed
  • A meeting card that appears when a meeting starts, and waits for you to press play
  • Reschedule everything overdue in one move
  • Anytime — a shelf for what has no day and should not pretend to

Mail

An inbox that sorts itself, and learns when it is wrong.

  • Six inboxes decided by what the message says about itself, not by rules you maintain
  • Move a message and its sender's next ones follow — the sorting learns from you
  • Two different nudges: one when you owe a reply, one when you are owed one
  • Write with Gmail's own fonts, sizes and signature behaviour
  • Reply, reply all, forward — quoting the original exactly as it was sent
  • Attachments, CC and BCC, snippets, and scheduled send
  • Snooze, archive, flag and delete, with a five-second undo instead of a dialog
  • Send any message to Tasks, or onto the calendar
  • AI that drafts, rewrites, shortens or translates — only when you ask

Projects

The work, mapped.

  • Every project as a body on a map you can turn and tilt
  • A ring around each one showing how much of it is done
  • Split a project into parts, and it asks where each existing item belongs
  • A board with five columns, including one for what you decided not to do
  • Tasks, emails and events filed against a project, together on one board
  • Rules that file new work automatically, by sender or by account
  • A tag on anything that has not moved in days

Tasks

What is actually left.

  • As a list, as columns, or grouped by day, priority or project
  • Two-way with Google Tasks, including subtasks and which account owns them
  • Deadlines separate from dates — being late is about the deadline, not the plan
  • Repeats that understand the last day of the month, not just every 30 days
  • Finish something late and it is recorded on the day you did it
  • Location reminders, priorities, comments and files

Across the whole app

What holds it together.

Several Google accounts at once

Each one carries a two-letter tag so you always know which inbox or calendar you are looking at — and each one chooses which modules it feeds, so a work account can fill your calendar without its mail ever being read.

One window, one set of keys

⌘K moves between modules in under a tenth of a second. Space opens search from anywhere. ⌘-click selects several of anything and the menu acts on all of them.

It opens with your work already there

Read from disk first, synced right behind. No spinner and no empty state, even with no network.

Claude can read your desk

Connect Core5 as a connector and ask about your own work. It sees exactly what you see — your session, your permissions.

Nothing watches you

No analytics, no telemetry, no advertising identifiers. Your Google keys never leave your device.
