Calendar integration and attendee matching

updated

Context makes meeting notes valuable. Oyma integrates directly with macOS Calendar via Apple’s native EventKit framework to automatically match active conference calls with scheduled calendar events.

How EventKit calendar matching works

When you start recording or when Oyma detects an active conference app (such as Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams), it queries macOS Calendar:

  1. Time Window Matching: Searches for events scheduled within ±15 minutes of the current time.
  2. Metadata Extraction: Reads event title, start/end time, meeting location/URL, organizer, and participant list.
  3. Note Pre-Population: Creates a new meeting document pre-filled with attendee wikilinks and agenda notes.

Granting macOS Calendar permissions

The first time Oyma queries calendar events, macOS displays a permission prompt:

  1. Click Allow Full Access when macOS prompts for Calendar access.
  2. If access was previously denied, open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Calendars and toggle the switch next to Oyma.
