Apple Bridges

Swift CLI tools at ~/.claude/ that give Claude Code native access to Apple apps on macOS.

Quick Reference

Bridge Binary Purpose
[reminders-bridge](reminders-bridge.md) ~/.claude/reminders-bridge Manage Apple Reminders — lists, items, due dates, search
[calendar-bridge](calendar-bridge.md) ~/.claude/calendar-bridge Read/write Apple Calendar — events, free slots, scheduling
[contacts-bridge](contacts-bridge.md) ~/.claude/contacts-bridge Search/manage Apple Contacts — lookup, birthdays
[notes-bridge](notes-bridge.md) ~/.claude/notes-bridge Read/write Apple Notes — create, search, append
[mail-bridge](mail-bridge.md) ~/.claude/mail-bridge Read/send Apple Mail — inbox, unread, compose
[tmux-bridge](tmux-bridge.md) ~/.claude/tmux-bridge Read/write tmux sessions — panes, snapshots, send keystrokes
[messages-bridge](messages-bridge.md) ~/.claude/messages-bridge Read/send Apple Messages — chats, unread, search, send text and files

Read the detail file for the bridge you need — each contains full command syntax, all parameters, and usage examples.

General Patterns

CLI Syntax

All bridges follow the same pattern:

~/.claude/<bridge-name> <command> [arguments...]

Quoting

Arguments with spaces must be quoted:

~/.claude/reminders-bridge add "Shopping List" "Buy milk" "From the organic store"
~/.claude/calendar-bridge add "Work" "Team Meeting" "2026-03-01 10:00" "2026-03-01 11:00"

Destructive Operations

Delete commands use a dry-run by default pattern — they show what would be deleted without the --force flag:

# Dry run (safe preview)
~/.claude/reminders-bridge delete "Work" "Old task"

# Actually delete
~/.claude/reminders-bridge delete "Work" "Old task" --force

This applies to: reminders-bridge delete, calendar-bridge delete, contacts-bridge delete, notes-bridge delete, mail-bridge delete.

Permissions

Each bridge requires macOS permission on first use:

Bridge Permission Settings Path
reminders-bridge Reminders Privacy & Security > Reminders
calendar-bridge Calendars Privacy & Security > Calendars
contacts-bridge Contacts Privacy & Security > Contacts
notes-bridge Automation (Notes.app) Privacy & Security > Automation
mail-bridge Automation (Mail.app) Privacy & Security > Automation
tmux-bridge None (uses tmux CLI) —
messages-bridge Full Disk Access (read) + Automation (Messages.app) Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access / Automation
