Apple Desktop Automation

Prepare macOS agents to work with Apple apps, local files, permissions, and desktop automation.

When to Use

Use this Note when a Memoire or Studio run needs macOS automation, Apple Notes, Reminders, iMessage, desktop app control.

Workflow

1. Check Accessibility, Screen Recording, Automation, and file permissions before driving desktop apps.
2. Prefer app-specific CLIs or Shortcuts before using broad GUI automation.
3. Keep personal app access opt-in and scoped to the named task.
4. Capture screenshots or structured app output after important desktop actions.
5. Never run destructive desktop actions without a visible confirmation step.
