# Connect iMessage to Hermes | Sealgate Connect iMessage to Hermes with one command. Let Hermes read, triage, and reply across iMessage through SealGate and Beeper, with your login kept on your device. Source: https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/hermes --- // Safety net only. Both entry points preload the chunk they are about to // render, so in practice nothing here suspends. It exists so a route // added without a matching SPLIT_ROUTES entry degrades to a blank frame // instead of throwing.

Please help me connect my messaging apps to SealGate on my machine by running this installer: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Edison-Watch/app/main/crates/stdiod/scripts/install-beeper.sh | bash -s -- install --install-deps --yes Source code: github.com/edison-watch/app Copy Requires macOS with the Beeper desktop app installed. ## Connecting Hermes Hermes adds the SealGate gateway as an MCP server, so Nous Research's agent can read and send your messages through SealGate's governed tools. See the [Hermes setup guide](https://sealgate.ai/docs/getting-started) for the exact steps. ## What Hermes can do with iMessage - Triage unread texts and draft replies in your own voice for you to send. - Summarize a long thread so you catch up in seconds. - Find that address, link, or photo someone texted you weeks ago. - Turn a text conversation into a task or calendar note. ## Why connect iMessage through SealGate One setup for every app, works with cloud and mobile agents, fully governed and logged, and your logins stay on your device. ### One setup, every network The same command connects your whole unified inbox, so you are not wiring up a separate bridge for each app. ### Works with cloud and mobile agents A local daemon tunnels the connector out, so ChatGPT, Claude, and other cloud agents can use it, not just CLI tools. ### Governed and logged Every tool call runs through SealGate policies and lands in an audit trail, so access stays under your control. ### Your logins stay on your device Credentials and message data never reach SealGate's servers. The connector runs on your machine. ## Related guides [iMessage to ChatGPT](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/chatgpt) [iMessage to Claude](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/claude) [iMessage to Codex](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/codex) [iMessage to Devin](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/devin) [iMessage to GitHub Copilot](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/copilot) [iMessage to Grok](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/grok) [iMessage to Grokbot](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/grokbot) [WhatsApp to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/whatsapp/hermes) [Telegram to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/telegram/hermes) [LinkedIn DMs to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/hermes) [Signal to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/signal/hermes) [Instagram DMs to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/instagram/hermes) [Messenger to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/messenger/hermes) [X DMs to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/x/hermes) [Discord DMs to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/discord/hermes) [LINE to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/line/hermes) [All iMessage setups](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage) ## Connecting iMessage to Hermes: FAQ Can Hermes read and send iMessage messages? Yes. Hermes adds the SealGate gateway as an MCP server, which lets it use your iMessage tools. A local daemon tunnels the connector out, so the agent can reach it. Can I connect ChatGPT or Claude to iMessage? Yes. After you connect iMessage through SealGate, your agent can read and send texts, including from cloud and mobile apps like ChatGPT and Claude, not just local CLI tools. Do I need a Mac? iMessage runs on Apple's network, so connecting it through the Beeper desktop app needs an Apple device signed in to iMessage. Once connected, any agent you point at it can use it. Where do my messages go? Your iMessage history and login stay on your machine. SealGate governs which tools the agent may call and logs every action, but it does not store your messages. Can the agent send texts, or only read them? Both. You decide through SealGate policies whether a given agent can only read, or can also send, and every send is recorded in the audit log.
