I always imagined an app with a command line/chat bot/text interface that would be used as a middleman for everything.

For email you'd simply type: @email $@bob@gmail $@this is the subject $@this is my message/email content

You can of course use different parsing symbols than $@, but the concept remains the same and can be extended to many things. Typing simply @email will bring up format and usage info. If it's your first time using that function then you will be promoted to enter your sign in credentials as well.

Example for alarm: @alarm 15:30 2x2m

This will set an alarm for 3:30pm, 3:32pm, and 3:34pm
