On macOS you can connect Calendar.app instead of signing in to Google. Any account already set up in Calendar — iCloud, Google, Exchange, Outlook — comes through in one go, and nothing leaves your Mac to make it work. Like Google Calendar, it’s optional. Meeting recording works without it; a calendar adds titles, attendees, and a prompt that appears because a meeting is scheduled rather than because OpenWhispr heard something.
Apple Calendar is macOS only. On Windows and Linux, connect Google Calendar instead.

​
Connect it

1

Open Integrations

Click Integrations in the sidebar, then the Calendar section.
2

Connect

Choose Connect Apple Calendar. macOS asks for calendar access the first time — approve it and the card shows a Connected badge.
If you decline the prompt, the card explains that Calendar Access is required and offers Open System Settings, which takes you to Privacy & Security → Calendars. Turn OpenWhispr on there and it connects.

​
Which one should you use?

If your work calendar is already in Calendar.app, Apple Calendar is the simpler choice.

​
What it changes

​
System audio still needs its own permission

Connecting a calendar doesn’t let OpenWhispr hear the other people on the call. That’s a separate operating-system permission — capturing both sides of the call walks through it.

​
Disconnecting

In the same panel, choose Disconnect on the Apple Calendar card and confirm. Meeting notes stop being recorded from your Apple Calendar; notes you already recorded are untouched, and microphone-based prompts and the Meeting Mode Hotkey keep working. Revoking access entirely is done in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars.
