You may be wondering, "Why would I check my email from the Terminal?"
That's not what this is about. With Spark's CLI and Claude Code, I set up an automation to find package tracking numbers in my email.
That then automatically adds deliveries to a package tracking app, which hooks into an existing system I built that sends me a text via iMessage when a package's status changes.
What it's about is hybrid automation.

@johnvoorhees@mastodon.macstories.net I had the pleasure of using Spark CLI for more than a month and the main value for me is the cross reference between meeting notes, calendar and emails: what we have discussed, immediate follow up after the call and priority email drafting without any input from my side

@johnvoorhees@mastodon.macstories.net just imagine if AppleScript would’ve received more love from Apple in OS X… every app would be “agent ready” on macOS by design.

@johnvoorhees@mastodon.macstories.net I'd previously built this exact setup in n8n...but that relied on calling out to the Claude API, whereas this could use OAuth! Love it, thanks for the idea!
