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

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.

Switch on Notes.
macOS asks whether Pomeroy may control Notes, which is how one Mac app reads another's notes. The prompt names Pomeroy, and nothing is requested until you flip the toggle.

Can Claude read my Apple Notes?
Yes. Once you switch Notes on in Pomeroy, Claude can list your notes by name and read any one of them in full. Note bodies come back as plain text.
Can Claude change or delete a note?
No. Claude can create a new note, and that is the only writing it does. An existing note is never edited, moved, or deleted.
Is it safe to connect Claude to Apple Notes?
Pomeroy reads your notes 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. Notes starts switched off, and you can switch it off again at any time. Pomeroy is an independent app, not made by Anthropic.
