Let AI apps use Rindraw on a Mac

On a Mac, AI apps such as Claude, Cursor or Codex can work with your drawings while Rindraw is open: find them, look at them, export them, and add pictures to them.

How to do it

1. In Rindraw, open Settings, then Privacy, and turn on Allow AI Apps to Use Rindraw.
2. Click Copy Setup Command and paste it into Terminal for Claude Code. Other apps take the address http://localhost:31515/mcp.
3. Ask the AI app, for example, to export your last three drawings as PSD. Exports go to Downloads › Rindraw.

Tips

• Only apps on this Mac can reach Rindraw, and only while it's open. Web pages can't.
• Rindraw doesn't send your drawings anywhere, but the AI app may send what it reads, your drawings too, to its own servers.
• A picture an AI app adds is a layer of its own, and can be undone. Drawings in a locked stack stay out of reach.
• On a Mac your school or company manages, it may be turned off.
