A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Charles Choi’s Scrim beta. Scrim is an app that makes the Org Protocol work in macOS. The problem, as Choi explains is that Org Protocol depends on calling emacsclient to deliver the messages to Emacs. Unfortunately, this became impossible when Apple started sandboxing applications for security reasons.
Choi is a huge fan of Org Protocol so he he wrote Scrim to act as a native macOS client for Emacs server. That gets around the sandboxing and allows Org Protocol to work on macOS. Scrim is now available on the on the App store by itself or as a bundle with the related app Captee that allows sharing links from other applications via the share menu.
I’ve tried using Org Protocol before but could never get it to work. Now I understand why. If you too have tried and failed to get Org Protocol working, you can get Scrim and Captee for $7.99. That’s a very reasonable price and since the two apps scratch one of Choi’s itches, it’s very likely that they’ll be maintained on an ongoing basis.
Take a look at Choi’s announcement to see if Scrim might be helpful to you.
