Paste this into your coding agent, or run it yourself in a terminal. Please help me connect iMessage to OpenClaw through SealGate on my machine. Follow the setup steps at https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/openclaw.md and stop whenever I need to act myself: approving this device in the browser when the installer asks, and approving the Beeper connector in the SealGate dashboard. Copy Requires macOS or Windows (Linux is experimental) with the Beeper desktop app installed. ## Connecting OpenClaw OpenClaw adds the SealGate gateway as an MCP server, so the self-hosted agent reaches your messaging apps through SealGate's governed, logged tools instead of wiring up every connector itself. See the [OpenClaw setup guide](https://sealgate.ai/docs/getting-started) for the exact steps. ## What OpenClaw 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 that records only metadata, never your message content, so access stays under your control. ### Your logins stay on your device Your credentials and logins never reach SealGate's servers; the connector runs on your machine. Message content only passes through in transit to be checked programmatically, and is never stored or read by anyone at SealGate. ## 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) [iMessage to Hermes](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/hermes) [iMessage to Lovable](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/lovable) [iMessage to Replit](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage/replit) [WhatsApp to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/whatsapp/openclaw) [Telegram to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/telegram/openclaw) [LinkedIn DMs to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/linkedin/openclaw) [Signal to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/signal/openclaw) [Instagram DMs to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/instagram/openclaw) [Messenger to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/messenger/openclaw) [X DMs to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/x/openclaw) [Discord DMs to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/discord/openclaw) [LINE to OpenClaw](https://sealgate.ai/connect/line/openclaw) [All iMessage setups](https://sealgate.ai/connect/imessage) ## Connecting iMessage to OpenClaw: FAQ Can OpenClaw read and send iMessage messages? Yes. OpenClaw adds the SealGate gateway as an MCP server, which lets it use your iMessage tools. A local daemon tunnels the connector out, so the self-hosted 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. When your agent makes a call, the request and response route through SealGate to be policy checked in memory, and only metadata about the call is logged (which tool ran, when, and which agent ran it). SealGate never stores the message content itself. What does SealGate store about my messages? SealGate routes each tool call to your connector and back, holding the request and response in memory only long enough to apply your policies, then discarding them. That check is automated: the gateway inspects the traffic programmatically to enforce your rules, and no one at SealGate can read your messages. They are never persisted and never used to train any model. SealGate keeps only call metadata (which tool ran, when, and which agent ran it), never the tool-call parameters or results, so your conversations and who you are talking to are never stored on SealGate's servers. 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 as metadata (that it happened, when, and by which agent), never the text of the message itself.
