What is Pomeroy Permission Perimeter?
“One Mac, one permission grant → every connected assistant inherits it”
Pomeroy centralizes macOS permissions in a single menu-bar app, so a grant made once is inherited by every assistant you connect: Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, and 17+ others. The framework treats that shared perimeter as the unit of agency delivery, not the individual assistant. On a client Mac, an agency grants Mail and Calendar access one time, then swaps or adds assistants without re-prompting the client for permissions. The Free tier's 50 actions every week is one allowance per Mac shared by every connected assistant, so a five-assistant setup burns the same pool as a single-assistant one. The $19 one-time license removes the weekly limit and includes updates to Pomeroy 1, which makes a fixed-fee deployment like the $1,150 Pomeroy Mac AI Starter viable on a retainer. Scope the perimeter before you scope the assistant.
