🔮 Aurely’s New Integration Model — I’d Love Your Feedback
Hey everyone 👋
I’m working on a new integration model for Aurely (my macOS voice reminder app) and would love to get your thoughts before it ships.
🔒 Privacy-first by design
Your data stays private.
By default, reminders remain local to Aurely — no background sync, no cloud.
When you connect an integration, you do it per reminder: you decide what gets shared and where.
Nothing leaves your Mac unless you say so.
🔗 Planned integrations
🍎 Apple Calendar
Two-way sync — reminders appear in your Calendar
All-day events for 00:00 reminders
Choose which calendar to use
Optional auto-sync
Notifications 15 minutes before events
✅ Todoist
Two-way sync with priority mapping
Tasks due today imported automatically
Deep links: jump straight from Todoist back to Aurely
Completion sync both ways
API token stored securely in Keychain
🔔 Apple Reminders
Full two-way sync — instant updates
Smart import with priority
Completion sync
No duplicate notifications — Aurely detects synced reminders automatically
🎨 Visual touches
Source badges show where each reminder comes from:
📅 Calendar
✅ Todoist
🔔 Apple Reminders
You’ll see them in:
Upcoming view
History view
Menu bar
Badges only appear for imported reminders (so your native Aurely reminders stay clean).
💭 I’d love your input
Does the per-reminder opt-in model feel right for privacy and control?
Are Calendar, Todoist, and Apple Reminders the right integrations to start with?
Do badges make the source of reminders clear enough?
What other integrations would you love to see next?
If you’ve used Aurely before, I’d love to hear how you’d use integrations like this — would it replace your current reminder setup, or complement it?
Thanks for helping shape the next version of Aurely 🙏
