Connect Zed to Apple Calendar

How to connect zed to apple calendar

Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install Zed first if it is not there yet.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy and switch on Apple Calendar.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. macOS asks whether Pomeroy may access your calendar. The prompt names Pomeroy, and nothing is requested until you flip the toggle.

  2. 2

    Press Set up beside Zed.

    Zed's settings file allows comments, and Pomeroy will not rewrite a file it cannot leave byte for byte as you wrote it, so it puts the block on your clipboard for you to paste.

  3. 3

    Paste it into Zed.

    Paste the configuration into ~/.config/zed/settings.json. In Zed, open the agent panel's settings and Pomeroy is listed under context servers, with its tools. You may need to restart Zed.

  4. 4

    Ask Zed something.

    Try “What’s on my calendar today?” and a real answer comes back.

The configuration, in full

Set up writes it for you. The documentation has the exact text, where it goes, and how to check it worked.

Can Zed see my Apple Calendar?

Yes. Once you switch Calendar on in Pomeroy, Zed can read today, any day, or a whole range of days, across every calendar your Mac shows. Times come back in your Mac's own time zone.

Can Zed change my calendar?

Yes, when you ask. Zed can create an event and change one you name, and it changes only the fields you mention. A recurring event changes only that one occurrence. It cannot delete an event.

Is it safe to connect Zed to Apple Calendar?

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

Zed does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Try restarting Zed; its documentation does not say whether it reloads on its own. Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether Zed is connected right now.
