When classes are in one app, your calendar in another and your to-dos in a third, the real list only exists in your head. Secretariat reads them all into one dated to-do list and week view, folds the same piece of work into one to-do, and never changes anything in the apps it reads.
What connects
- Classes: Canvas, Google Classroom, and Blackboard, Brightspace and Moodle by calendar link.
- Calendars: Google Calendar (every calendar you have turned on), Outlook, and iCloud or any calendar with a private link.
- To-do apps: Todoist, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and Notion task databases.
- Messages: Slack and GroupMe, for club events. You pick what each Slack channel sends.
- Gmail and Google Drive are coming soon.
How it keeps one list instead of five
- Everything lands on one list by day and one week view, and every to-do links back to where it came from.
- One to-do per piece of work. If your calendar says "Micro Pset 5" and Todoist says "Pset 5", that's one to-do, and checking it off checks off all of them.
- Nothing is deleted when two are folded together. The details say what was folded in and from where, and Show separately undoes it.
- Things you type in yourself are never folded into anything.
What it won't do
- It only reads the apps you connect. It never sends, changes or deletes anything in them. Checking something off in Secretariat stays in Secretariat.
- Closed apps like Apple Notes, iMessage and WhatsApp can't be connected.
- Turning Slack and GroupMe asks into to-dos, and flagged Outlook emails, are part of the paid plans. Club events from them come in on every plan.
Getting started
Make an account and connect what you use in Settings. Disconnecting an app deletes its sign-in, and you can remove what it brought in. Not a student? The Pro plan, $12.99 a month, is built for your calendars, email and Slack in one list. See pricing.
Common questions
- Will checking something off in Secretariat check it off in Todoist or Notion?
- No. Secretariat only reads those apps. Checking something off, moving it or adding a note stays inside Secretariat.
- Can I connect Gmail?
- Gmail is coming soon. Outlook connects today, for your calendar and flagged emails on the paid plans.
- What if the same assignment is in Canvas and my calendar?
- It shows up once. A calendar deadline about a Canvas assignment is linked to it, and a to-do app's copy is folded into the Canvas to-do.
