# 1. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security

#    - Terminal (or your OpenClaw process)
#    - Script Editor
# 3. Accessibility → Enable for:

# OpenClaw uses AppleScript to read/send iMessages:
# config/channels/imessage.yaml:
imessage:
  enabled: true
  applescript_path: "/usr/local/bin/openclaw-imessage-bridge.scpt"
  messages_db: "~/Library/Messages/chat.db"  # SQLite database
  poll_interval: 2  # Check for new messages every 2 seconds
  allowed_contacts: []  # Empty = all, or list phone numbers/emails

# The adapter polls Messages.app database for new messages:
# Install dependencies:
brew install sqlite3

# OpenClaw reads from ~/Library/Messages/chat.db
# Messages are marked as read after processing to avoid duplicates

# In config/channels/imessage.yaml (continued):
contacts:
  allowed_list:
    - "+15551234567"  # Phone numbers
    - "friend@icloud.com"  # Email addresses
  blocked_list:
    - "+15559999999"
  require_contacts: true  # Only respond to saved contacts

# iMessage media is saved to:
# ~/Library/Messages/Attachments/
#
# In config/channels/imessage.yaml (continued):
media:
  enabled: true
  attachments_dir: "~/Library/Messages/Attachments"
  max_file_size_mb: 100
  supported_types:
    - image/jpeg
    - image/png
    - image/heic

# Send yourself an iMessage from another device
# Check logs:
tail -f ~/.openclaw/logs/channels.log | grep imessage
