accountpilot 0.1.3

Unified per-machine account sync framework — email, iMessage, calendar, and more

AccountPilot

A unified per-machine account sync framework. Pulls email, iMessage, calendar, and other personal data into a local SQLite database via a plugin architecture. Designed for individual users who want a queryable archive of their own data.

Features

• Mail (IMAP IDLE): Gmail + Outlook + generic IMAP, OAuth2 (XOAUTH2) or password auth, RFC 2047 + MIME attachment handling, multi-account.
• iMessage: macOS chat.db reader with watchdog file-watcher, attachment + group-chat support, attributedBody decoder.
• Cross-source identity: one phone number = one person whether it appears in iMessage handles or Gmail signatures.
• SQLite + FTS5 full-text search across every source.
• Auto-restarting background daemon via launchd (macOS) or systemd (Linux) — install with one command.

Installation

Homebrew (macOS / Linuxbrew):

brew install aren13/tap/accountpilot

pip:

pip install accountpilot

pipx (recommended for CLI-only use, isolates dependencies):

pipx install accountpilot

Requires Python 3.11+. macOS or Linux. (iMessage support is macOS-only; mail works on both.)

Quick start

# Create the config skeleton
accountpilot setup

# Edit ~/.config/accountpilot/config.yaml to add your accounts
$EDITOR ~/.config/accountpilot/config.yaml

# For OAuth-based accounts (recommended): set up Google Cloud Console /
# Azure AD OAuth client JSON, then run the interactive login:
accountpilot oauth login google 1
accountpilot oauth login microsoft 2

# One-shot historical pull:
accountpilot mail backfill 1
accountpilot imessage backfill 2

# Install the auto-restarting background daemon:
accountpilot service install mail
accountpilot service install imessage

# Search across all sources:
accountpilot search 'invoice'
accountpilot search '"meeting tomorrow"'
