A short setup. It takes about two minutes. You can skip any step and come back later.
Your personal address looks like name-token@tccinbox.com. Mail sent there is sorted into this app. I will never ask for your email password.
Forwarding means your email app sends a copy of a message to us. You can forward bills and important mail to that address from your own inbox. Set this up in Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud. I never need your password. Official help links are under each provider.
Paste one bill. I will pull out the amount and the due date. Nothing is sent.
Set one reminder so I can nudge you before something is due. I will email you at the address you signed in with.
Tech Cheat Codes
Beta
Add this app to your phone or computer. It will open like an app. If you are offline, it can still show the saved shell (the basic pages stored on your device). It is not a store listing. On iPhone, use Share, then Add to Home Screen.
Paste a text, an email, or a screenshot. I will tell you if it looks real, like a scam, or too close to call. I will also tell you what to do next. I do not keep the screenshot after I read it.
Type or speak. I will turn it into a plan I can help with. I can add a plan, draft a text or email, suggest a time, or watch a follow-up. I will wait for you to confirm each one.
I will fill in a message and open your phone's Messages app. Nothing is sent until you hit send yourself. This app does not use Twilio or any text-message company.
Paste a receipt, a bill, or a warranty. I will pull out return windows, warranty end dates, and any price drop I can see. Then I will draft a refund, price-change, or cancel email. Nothing is sent until you open the draft yourself.
Saved you $0.00
Paste a flight or hotel confirmation. I will turn it into a trip plan, with a check-in reminder and a leave-by alert. Nothing is sent to the airline or hotel unless you do it yourself.
Paste a document or add a photo of an ID. I will pull out the expiry date and remind you 60, 30, and 7 days ahead. I throw the photo away after I read it, unless you opt in (choose) to keep a copy. You can delete any item.
Paste a school or activity email and I will add it to the household calendar. Share a grocery list, a to-do list, and carpool rides with the same household. Names and list items are stored encrypted (scrambled). I will not email anyone from here.
Track medications and refill dates, then check in once a day. If a check-in is missed after 9:00 PM Eastern, I can email a family member you already chose and approved with a tap. I will not text anyone. Care-mode SMS (text alerts) is a Premium feature. It is coming soon, and it is switched off. I will email you at the address you signed in with, or the address you chose for alerts.
Save preferences I should remember, like your dentist, an aisle seat, or allergies. I will use them in drafts and booking requests. They are stored encrypted (scrambled). You can view or delete any of them.
Paste one of your own messages. I will look for promises like “I'll send it Friday” and remind you when it is due. I will not message the other person. I will email you at the address you signed in with.
Keep a schedule for oil changes, filters, and other home or car tasks. I will remind you 14 days before, 7 days before, and on the due date. I will email you at the address you signed in with.
Save birthdays, anniversaries, and gift ideas. I will remind you 14 days, 7 days, and 1 day ahead. I will email you at the address you signed in with.
Today's schedule, mail that needs a reply, bills, deliveries, and anything suspicious from the inbox you linked.
Follow-ups I can watch while you are away. I also pull bills and subscriptions from pasted mail. I flag account or phishing alerts in plain English.
Nothing on your list yet
Add a follow-up and I will watch it while you are away.
Share a public booking page. I will draft a confirmation with a calendar file for both of you. I will send it from our domain, with replies going to you. I will wait for your okay before the first email to a new person. Mail sent to your personal tccinbox.com address lands here, already sorted. You can still paste a message if you want.
No public bookings yet
When someone books a time on your page, it will show up here.
No scheduling emails yet
When someone books, a draft appears here for your okay. Nothing is sent to a new person until you approve it.
Nothing in the inbox yet
Forward mail (send a copy) to your tccinbox.com address, or paste a message above. I will never ask for your email password.
A shared calendar for your family or household. Events you add here are visible to everyone you invite. Titles and names are stored encrypted (scrambled). I will not email invites for you. You get a link to send yourself.
Paste a public calendar link, or try the sample week. You will see today’s agenda, this week’s events, and open weekday times for booking. Or type a plan in plain words in Quick add. Times are shown in Eastern Time.
Type a plan in plain words, like “Dentist Thursday 3pm for 1 hour” or “call mom tomorrow at 9am”. It is read on this device. It is not sent to a server. If you name a weekday, I use the next one that has not passed. “Next Friday” means Friday of next week. If you leave out a time, I use 9:00 AM and a 1 hour length. You can edit those before saving.
These are browser reminders on this device. They only fire while this tab stays open. Closing or sleeping the tab stops them. Your reminder choices stay on this device until you sign in. After you sign in, they are copied to your account so they can sync across devices (show up on your other devices too). When you are signed in, you can also opt in (choose) to get email reminders at your account address, at the same lead time. I will email you at the address you signed in with.
Browser reminders are off until you turn them on. This site will only ask for permission if you click the button below.
Load a public calendar to see free times, then pick a slot. Bookings you save here stay on this device until you sign in. After you sign in, they are copied to your account so they can sync across devices (show up on your other devices too).
Until you sign in, these bookings and reminders stay on this device only. They are not saved on our servers. After you sign in, they are copied to your account. They are not sent to a booking service.

There is no checkout (a page where you pay). Call and text features stay off. Bank linking stays off until Plaid lists a price.

We store as little as we can. If you sign in, your records live in our database. That database is Cloudflare D1, the place we save account data.
Most personal fields — like names, message text, and list items — are encrypted at rest. That means they are scrambled, and only our server key can open them. The service can still read them when it needs to.
Your sign-in email is stored in the clear (not scrambled, so we can read it). So are synced bookings (bookings copied to your account). So are reminder settings, including whether you chose to turn email reminders on. We do this so sign-in, sync, and reminder mail can work. Sync means copying your data to your account so it can show up on your other devices. Times and reminder dates also stay readable so reminders can run.
If email reminders are on, we keep a list of the reminder emails we sent. The list has which reminder it was, the time, and whether the mail went out. We keep it so the same reminder is not emailed twice. We remove that list when you delete your account. If you are signed out, some items stay only in this browser.
Scam Shield does not keep screenshots after it reads them. Document photos are thrown away after the expiry date is read, unless you choose to keep a copy.
If a check is not clear from simple rules, a short excerpt can be sent to Cloudflare Workers AI to sort it. Workers AI is a computer on our servers that reads text. A screenshot may be sent to Workers AI only to read the text, then thrown away.
We will never ask for your email password or a bank password. Bank linking, when it exists, stays off until Plaid has a published price.
You can delete your account and data. That removes your account and all the saved items tied to it. Items saved only on this device stay until you clear them.
I will email you at the address you signed in with.
The paid beta is on the Tech Cheat Codes services page. It costs $14.99 a month, $79 for 6 months, or $149 a year. You can sign in here with a one-time email link. This page does not take payment.
A welcome page is at the landing page. Privacy, in short. A real booking page is at cal.com/techcheatcodes. This app does not write to any online calendar. It does not take payment. When you are signed in, I will email you at the address you signed in with. You can install this page as an app for an offline shell (the basic pages saved on your device). Browser reminders and on-device bookings only work in this browser.
