Anthropic's Claude Code Integrates iMessage for Local Execution

Anthropic Claude Code team member Thariq Shihipar announced the integration of iMessage as a communication channel for Claude Code. According to Odaily, users can install a plugin on their Mac, allowing them to send instructions to a locally running Claude Code session via iPhone or other Apple devices. Claude executes these commands locally and returns results through iMessage. This functionality is achieved by reading the macOS Messages database and utilizing AppleScript, without relying on external services. Currently in the research preview stage, it requires Claude Code version 2.1.80 or higher for support.
