1. What changed: a central list for authorized apps

WorkBuddy added app management in its 5.6.0 update on September 19, 2026. In Settings, users can view authorized third-party and Buddy apps and revoke authorization with one click.

WorkBuddy is an AI assistant that can use apps to carry out work. App management provides a central place for those connections: you do not have to rely only on memory to know which services you allowed, and you can revisit them when a task is over.

2. How it helps: a one-off task need not leave an unused long-term connection

Suppose you temporarily connected a service to prepare materials for an event. When the event ends, you may no longer need the service, while its authorization remains. App management gives you a place to check whether that connection still has a purpose.

One suggested approach is to classify connections as still used, definitely no longer needed, or unclear. Keep the first group, investigate the purpose and dependent tasks of unclear entries, then remove what you know you do not need. This helps organize permissions without disrupting current work just because an app’s name looks unfamiliar.

3. How to use it: start with one app you no longer need

Confirm that your client includes the 5.6.0 update, then check in this order:

  1. Open app management in Settings. Look through the authorized third-party and Buddy apps.
  2. Identify what each connection does. Recall which work it supported; check the app’s description and associated tasks when you are unsure.
  3. Check for dependent tasks. An active feature or scheduled job may still need it. Do not revoke access just to shorten the list.
  4. Revoke authorization you no longer need. Use the revocation control in app management and read the interface’s feedback.
  5. Check the authorization state and related results. If the result is unclear, verify the current state first. If you need the app again later, reauthorize through its actual entry point.

Revocation changes the authorization relationship. It does not thereby retract messages, restore edited files or prove that a third party deleted data it previously received. Check the corresponding service for those results. The release notes also do not specify when in-flight requests stop or tokens expire.
