Macuse
Give Your AI Superpowers on macOS·macuse.app
Macuse is a native macOS application that bridges AI assistants to Mac apps and system controls via the MCP (Model Context Protocol). It gives AI clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Raycast direct read/write access to Calendar, Mail, Notes, Reminders, Messages, Contacts, Maps, and Shortcuts, plus background 'Computer Use' to click, type, and navigate any other Mac application. All processing runs locally on the user's Mac with no cloud processing or telemetry of personal content.
