Install and connect
- Unzip the download and move Patterlane.app into Applications. macOS may require its standard approval flow for an unsigned app. A signed/notarized release is not available yet.
- Open Patterlane and choose Connect my account.
- For eligible Gmail accounts, enable 2-Step Verification and create an app password named Patterlane. For iCloud, create an app-specific password in your Apple Account.
- Enter the generated app password in Patterlane on your computer. Never enter your normal Google or Apple password.
- Sync your inbox, then send a test message to an address you control.
What you can use
Read and search recent email, compose and reply, download received attachments, create local to-dos, manage a local calendar, export events and optionally connect a downloaded local Ollama model. Credentials and cached mail are kept in an OS-encrypted vault on your computer.
Compatibility
Gmail app-password availability depends on account policy. Some work/school accounts and Advanced Protection accounts cannot connect through this beta. iCloud and compatible TLS IMAP/SMTP accounts are supported by the engine but still require target-device/provider testing. Outlook sign-in, Windows/Linux installers, calendar-provider sync and auto-updates are not available in this release.
Verified so far
Automated interface and engine tests, protocol tests against local TLS mail fixtures, and packaged-file checks. Native Mac startup, OS keychain behavior, live Gmail/iCloud interoperability and real local-model inference remain unverified.
