How to connect Claude to Apple Contacts

Pomeroy works inside Anthropic’s Claude Desktop, which is free. Get Claude Desktop first if you do not have it yet.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy adds an icon to your menu bar and opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. They all start switched off.

  2. 2

    Switch on Contacts.

    macOS asks whether Pomeroy may access your contacts. The prompt names Pomeroy, and nothing is requested until you flip the toggle.

  3. 3

    Set up the Claude extension.

    Press Set up Claude extension and Claude Desktop asks to install it, with no file to find.

  4. 4

    Ask Claude.

    Try “What is Priya’s mobile number?” and a real answer comes back.

Can Claude see my Apple Contacts?

Yes. Once you switch Contacts on in Pomeroy, Claude can search your contacts by name, organisation, email address, or a fragment of a phone number, and read back what it finds.

Can Claude change my contacts?

No, never. Pomeroy has no action for creating, editing, or deleting a contact, so it cannot happen by accident or on request. Your address book is read, never written.

Is it safe to connect Claude to Apple Contacts?

Pomeroy looks contacts up on your Mac and sends nothing to a Pomeroy server. What Claude reads becomes part of your conversation, the same as text you paste in. Contacts starts switched off, and you can switch it off again at any time. Pomeroy is an independent app, not made by Anthropic.

Try Claude with Apple Contacts.
