← Clawd Calendar

Install

Requires macOS 13 or later

Install

Open Terminal and run these in order.

  1. Download the latest release

    curl -fLO https://clawd.workwithdhruv.site/latest.zip

    Saves the current version as latest.zip in the folder you are in.

  2. Unpack it into Applications

    ditto -x -k latest.zip /Applications/

    Expands the zip straight into your Applications folder.

  3. Clear the download flag

    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ClawdCalendar.app

    Removes the quarantine macOS puts on downloads, so the app is allowed to open.

  4. Open it

    open /Applications/ClawdCalendar.app

    Launches the app. Clawd appears in your menu bar, not the Dock.

curl -fLO https://clawd.workwithdhruv.site/latest.zip
ditto -x -k latest.zip /Applications/
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ClawdCalendar.app
open /Applications/ClawdCalendar.app

All four at once, if you would rather paste them in one go.

Connect your calendar

In the menu bar: Clawd → Connect Google account… → choose your account → approve. Then turn on Launch at login from the same menu so it is there after a restart.

Google will warn you that the app isn't verified. Choose Advanced → Go to Clawd Calendar. Your calendar data never leaves your Mac — there is no server to send it to. See the privacy policy.

Update

The app updates itself — it checks on launch, and you can ask any time from the menu bar with Check for updates. Nothing to run.

Uninstall

Dragging the app to the Bin leaves your sign-in behind. These four commands remove all of it. If you turned on Launch at login, switch it off from the menu first.

  1. Quit the app

    pkill -x ClawdCalendar

    Stops it running, so the next steps aren't fighting a live app.

  2. Delete the app

    rm -rf /Applications/ClawdCalendar.app

    Removes the app itself from your Applications folder.

  3. Remove the saved sign-in

    security delete-generic-password -s com.clawdcalendar.google

    Deletes the Google token from your login keychain.

  4. Remove your settings

    defaults delete com.clawdcalendar.app

    Clears your preferences — reminder timing, and what to skip.

One last step, on Google's side. Removing the app stops it reading your calendar, but Google still lists the permission. Revoke it at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

If something goes wrong

“ClawdCalendar is damaged and can't be opened”
Step 3 was skipped or ran before step 2. Run the xattr command again, then open the app.
Nothing appears in the menu bar
The app has no Dock icon or window — look at the right-hand end of the menu bar. If it isn't there, run step 4 again.
No reminders are showing
Check the menu says Connected, and that the meeting is further away than your reminder lead time.
It asks you to reconnect
Sign in again from Connect Google account…. Nothing is lost.
