# Apps

> Connect your tools to make Orbit smarter

Orbit connects to the apps you already use — calendar, email, notes, tasks, and more. When you run a workflow, Orbit can pull information from these apps and take actions on your behalf.

## How Apps Work

Apps give Orbit new capabilities:

* **{!google-calendar}** — Check meetings, see attendees, find free time
* **{!todoist}** — Read tasks, create new ones, mark complete
* **{!bear-notes}** — Search notes, create new notes
* **{!gmail}** — Read emails, draft responses

When a workflow says "check my calendar for tomorrow's meetings," it uses the calendar app to get that information.

## Built-in Apps

These apps are always available:

| App             | What it does            |
| --------------- | ----------------------- |
| Google Calendar | Meetings and scheduling |
| Google Contacts | Contact information     |
| Orbit CRM       | Relationship tracking   |
| Todoist         | Task management         |
| Bear Notes      | Note taking             |
| Readwise        | Reading highlights      |
| Granola         | Meeting notes           |
| Web Search      | Research on the web     |

## Using Apps in Workflows

Reference apps in workflows with `{!app-name}`:

```
Use {!google-calendar} to get my meetings for tomorrow.

Search {!bear-notes} for notes about Acme Corp.

Create a task in {!todoist} to follow up with Sarah.
```
