Blick shows what's next in your Microsoft 365 day on a single screen: your next meeting, the rest of today's calendar, your unread Outlook email, your Teams chats with new activity, and your current Teams presence. Refresh when you open the app or pull to refresh. RSVP to invitations from either the calendar card or the email row itself. Set your Teams presence and out-of-office without opening Teams. Triage unread email with bulk actions tuned for Focused inbox, Other inbox, meeting notices, mailing lists, and external senders. Reply to email or Teams chats without leaving the app. Blick is built for people who use Microsoft 365 for work and want a quick status panel without launching Outlook, Teams, and Calendar separately. It uses the Microsoft Graph API for everything. The only network destinations it touches are Microsoft Graph and Microsoft identity endpoints. There is no analytics SDK, no third-party logger, no telemetry. Your data stays between you, your Apple devices, and Microsoft. Sign in with your work or school Microsoft 365 account and Blick is useful immediately. There is no separate account to create, no email list to join, and nothing Blick knows about you that Microsoft doesn't already know. Blick meets you across your Apple devices. A Home Screen widget shows your next meeting and unread counts at a glance, with one-tap presence buttons. From Control Center you can set your Teams presence or toggle out-of-office without opening the app. On iPad, a split-view layout puts your day beside the message or meeting you're reading. On Apple Watch, a glance and four complication styles bring your next meeting, today's counts, and your presence to your wrist, and you can set your presence or out-of-office from the watch. Siri and Shortcuts answer your next meeting, your unread counts, your current presence, and a quick overview of your work day, and set your status by voice.
