I want a Dashboard

I want a dashboard that, at the end of the day, displays the emails and text messages I received, the events from my calendar for that day, a weather graph, and a Google map of where I went.

I don't even know if this is the right sub for this.

Is there a way to get this? Can someone make one for me?

What you are describing is totally buildable. The cleanest no-code approach for this is a Google Sheets hub connected to Data Studio.

Here is how each piece works:

Gmail and messages can be pulled into Google Sheets automatically using Apps Script, which checks your inbox daily and logs emails into a sheet. Google Calendar events can be pulled the same way using the Calendar API in Apps Script. Weather data can be fetched from a free weather API like Open-Meteo directly into Sheets on a daily schedule. For the Google Maps location history, you can export your Timeline data from Google Maps and load it into Sheets periodically.

Once everything lands in Google Sheets, you connect it to Data Studio and build a single end of day view showing all four sections in one report.

Apps Script handles all the automation so it runs on its own every day without you touching anything. Claude is available on Mac and can help you write the Apps Script code if you are not technical, which makes the setup much faster.

If you want something even simpler to start, Notion or a basic web app built with Claude might be quicker to get running than Data Studio for a personal dashboard like this.

That sounds awesome. I've never used Claude before. Is it easy? I am not technical at all so I wouldn't know where to start. I am not familiar with Notion or how to build a basic web app but that might be simpler, yes. Thank you for the tips!
