Binnacle

Control your Mac from any AI assistant.

Binnacle gives your AI tools native access to macOS — calendar events, reminders, Shortcuts automation, Spotlight search, Finder operations, and system settings. Ask Claude to check your calendar, run a Shortcut, find files, toggle Do Not Disturb, or check your WiFi — all through natural language. Built in Swift with native macOS frameworks for instant, reliable system access. Named after the ship's compass housing — your navigation and control center.

What's included

  • Calendar & Reminders — view, create, update, complete via EventKit
  • Shortcuts integration — list and run any macOS Shortcut from Claude
  • Spotlight search — find files by name, content, type, or date
  • Finder operations — tags, extended info, recent downloads
  • System settings — display, dark mode, Do Not Disturb, WiFi, battery
  • App management — launch, list running apps
  • Native Swift binary — no runtime dependencies
  • Notarized and signed via Apple Developer Program

  • macOS 14+ (Sonoma or later) on Apple Silicon
