How it works on a Mac

1. Select. Press the shortcut in any app and drag a box around the event. On a Mac the default is Cmd + Option + S, and you can change it in Settings.
2. Check. Yotei reads the title, date, time and place. Fix anything that is wrong.
3. Add. One click puts it in your calendar. Edit it later in Yotei and the entry stays in sync, without duplicates.

Works with the calendar you already use

Set up on a Mac in a few minutes

1. Make a free account and download the Mac app from your account. It is one app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. If you cannot install apps, there is also a zip version you can open from any folder.
2. The first time, macOS may say Yotei cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it. Open the Applications folder, right-click Yotei, choose Open, then Open again. You only do this once.
3. Allow Screen Recording when macOS asks (System Settings, Privacy and Security, Screen Recording), then reopen Yotei. Yotei needs it to see the event you select.
4. Sign in, connect Google Calendar, Outlook or iCloud, and press the shortcut.
