    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    A CLI and TUI for HEY: your email and calendar, in the terminal and in your coding agent's hands.

    Homebrew, Scoop, Nix, packages and source builds: docs/install.md.

    The app has Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Journal, with HEY's own keyboard shortcuts. Press ? to see them. It follows HEY live: a thread you archive on your phone leaves the screen a moment later.
