This one needs
your Mac.

It is the morning texts and email thing. Working properly this time.

Your texts only exist on your laptop, never in the cloud, which is exactly why it cannot run on here.

Six minutes whenever you are at your desk.

Show me what it does first

Every morning it reads the last day of your texts and email, sorts it artist by artist, and sends you one email: what changed, and what is waiting on you.

It runs on your own machine on a schedule. If the lid is shut it runs the moment you open it, and it tells you plainly when something broke instead of going quiet.

Same digest.
Actually on schedule.

2 pastes. 6 minutes. Runs local.

Every morning it reads the last day of your texts and email, sorts it artist by artist, and sends you one email: what changed, and what is waiting on you.

It runs on your laptop, not in the cloud, which is why the texts part actually works. Nothing is stored anywhere but here. Your messages go to Claude to write the summary, same as anything you would do in Claude yourself, and nowhere else. I never see any of it.

Setup

1. Get Claude Code

Open Terminal (Command Space, type Terminal) and paste this. If you already have it, this tells you so and does nothing.

Paste into Terminal 
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Then type claude once and sign in with your existing account.

2. Paste this into Claude 👇

This is the only thing you will ever have to paste. Everything after it is questions.

Paste into Claude 
[install prompt goes here. It is long, and deliberately clipped so it reads as one copy rather than a wall of text. Nothing here needs reading, only copying. The full text is still what lands on the clipboard.]

It will ask what time you want it, who to track, and where to send it. Then it sets everything up and runs once so you see a real digest before you get up.

3. The one fucky part

macOS will not let anything read Messages until you say so, so partway through it will stop and ask. Open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, then Full Disk Access, click the plus, press Command Shift G, and paste the exact path it gives you.

This is the step most likely to trip. If it does, it stops and tells you, it does not carry on pretending.

4. Gmail

It reads mail through the Gmail connector you have already got in Claude. If it is switched on, this step is nothing. If not, it tells you the one place to turn it on.

After that

  • It runs every morning at whatever time you picked. Laptop shut? It runs the moment you open it, and says so rather than arriving late with no explanation.
  • The subject line tells you the state before you open it.
  • Email lines click straight through to the thread.
  • Run it early from your phone: open Claude, connect to this Mac, say run roll call.
  • Anything looks off, type /rollcall in Claude.
  • Want it changed, just ask Claude. It is your machine and your setup.

P.S. I built this so that if it breaks, it will tell you it broke. No silent fails.
