Pomeroy turns a macOS permission prompt into a business

Pomeroy v1 monetizes the macOS dialog that grants Mail, Calendar, and Contacts access, per its September 8 Show HN post. No hosted MCP gateway can trigger that TCC prompt, the one-time system dialog macOS shows before any app can touch a user's contacts or calendar. That leaves Pomeroy's free tier feeding nine native apps to more than 20 AI clients on the strength of a local install alone.

The menu-bar app asks for permission to Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Contacts, iMessage, Maps, Shortcuts, and Weather. It relays all nine over MCP to clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Copilot, and Codex.

Access requires macOS 15 or later, no account, and no card. The free tier caps at 50 actions a week, shared across every assistant wired into it. Pointing Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot at Pomeroy at once burns through that quota faster than the number suggests.

Pomeroy hasn't said what a paid tier costs or when it arrives.
