Install

  1. Open the DMG and drag Blue Text Relay to Applications.
  2. Open it. The first screen asks for Full Disk Access, the macOS permission that lets an app read the Messages database. Click Open System Settings, turn on Blue Text Relay, and relaunch.
  3. Pick the threads to expose, create your first access key, choose how agents connect (Tailscale is one click). Done.

Headless install, Tailscale setup, and connecting Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor are in the docs.
