Flyout / Agent Access

Ask Claude or Codex about your notes

Flyout connects to Claude Code, Codex and Claude Desktop on your Mac. Your AI client can search and read the notes you share, write new ones and set reminders. Access stays off until you turn it on, and every deletion waits for your approval in Flyout.

Setup

Set it up in three steps

  1. Install the plugin

    Add the Flyout plugin to Claude Code or Codex with two commands. Installing it gives no access yet.

    Claude Code

    claude plugin marketplace add gorkie/flyout-agent-plugins
claude plugin install flyout-notes@flyout-agents

    Codex

    codex plugin marketplace add gorkie/flyout-agent-plugins
codex plugin add flyout-notes@flyout-agents

    Claude Desktop: download the .mcpb extension from the repository and install it from Settings › Extensions › Advanced settings › Install Extension.

  2. Add a connection

    In Flyout, open Settings › Agent Access, turn on Allow agent access and choose Add connection. Pick the client and what it may do.

  3. Pair it

    In the same window, choose Pair connection. That click is your approval.

Privacy

You decide what it can see

Each connection has its own permissions. Change them at any time; the next request follows the new rules without pairing again.

Off by default

Nothing connects until you turn on Agent Access and pair a client in Flyout.

Five separate permissions

Reading notes, creating notes, requesting deletion, reading reminders and creating reminders are separate switches.

All notes or selected folders

Limit reading to chosen folders and pick where new notes may go. Locked notes are never included.

Deletion waits for you

A delete request opens a confirmation in Flyout. Approved deletions go to the Trash, where you can restore them.

No Flyout servers in between

The plugin talks to Flyout on your Mac over an encrypted local connection. Notes you allow reach the AI service you use, under its terms.

Remove it any time

Turn Agent Access off or remove the connection in Settings to stop future access.

Questions

How do I connect Codex or Claude to my notes?

Install the Flyout plugin for your AI client, then open Flyout Settings › Agent Access. Turn on Allow agent access, choose Add connection, pick its permissions and either All notes or Only selected folders, then choose Pair connection. Letting the connection open Flyout when it is closed is a separate choice, off by default. The Mac app and plugin must both support Agent Access; installing a plugin alone grants nothing.

Can an AI service see all my notes?

Only if you allow it. A connection reads either all notes or only the folders you select; locked and trashed notes always stay out of reach. Permitted note content may be sent to the AI service you use with that connection, under that service’s own terms. Our servers do not receive the content. Turn Agent Access off or remove the connection in Settings to stop future access; content already sent to the service cannot be recalled. Deleting a note still needs separate approval in Flyout.

Does Flyout have built-in AI?

No. Flyout does not call a model and never asks for an API key. The AI runs in the client you already use, such as Claude Code, Codex or Claude Desktop, and reaches your notes only through the permissions you set.

Can it edit notes I already have?

Not at the moment. It can search and read notes, create new notes, list and create reminders, and ask to delete a note. It does not change or append to existing notes.

Does Flyout need to be open?

Yes, by default. You can separately allow a connection to open Flyout when it is closed; that option stays off unless you turn it on.

What does it cost?

The plugins are free. Flyout itself needs a license or the free trial, and Agent Access works in both.

Does it work on iPhone?

Agent Access runs through the Mac app. Notes your AI creates on the Mac reach your iPhone if iCloud sync is on.

Try it with your own notes

Download Flyout, install the plugin for your client and pair it in Settings › Agent Access.
