Apple Bridge / Early access

Your Mac.
Meet your agent.

Messages, Mail, Calendar, Notes and more — connected to Claude Code, Codex and other agents through one local MCP server.

Apple silicon · macOS 26 or later · Open source / MIT

A connection to the everyday

Less switching.
More getting things done.

Find the context

Let your agent read from the sources you allow, including messages, mail, contacts and notes.

Work with your day

Read your agenda, create calendar events and manage reminders through the same connection.

Keep a say

Choose Mac permissions yourself. Connected agents can read; changes require your approval by default.

Availability depends on permissions and source support. See feature status and limits ↗

From terminal to connected

bridge permissions guide

Allow the Mac permissions you want, then use bridge stats --watch to see sync counts.

Apple Bridge reads private data. Local use sends nothing off your Mac, but an agent you connect may send what it reads to its own service. Remote access is optional. Review your agent’s settings before connecting.

A few things to know.

Which agents can connect?

Claude Code and Codex have built-in linking commands. Other MCP clients can use the local MCP server; see the repository for configuration.

What can it access?

Sources include Messages, Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and Notes, with additional integrations documented in the repository. Access depends on the permissions you allow. Some sources have limits; Photos native qualification is pending and the iPhone app is in internal testing.

Is this ready for everyone?

This is early-access software. Check known limits before relying on a workflow. You need an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later.

Can I run it myself?

Yes. Apple Bridge is MIT-licensed open source. Local use needs no hosted service. Source builds and optional remote access are documented in the repository.
