# pyobjc-framework-IntentsUI — Wrappers for the framework Intents on macOS

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 652.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package wraps Apple's IntentsUI framework for macOS, allowing Python developers to interact with Siri Shortcuts and intent-based UI components from native code. It is part of the PyObjC project, which provides a bridge between Python and Objective-C frameworks on macOS. The wrapper does not include its own documentation; instead, it relies on Apple's official IntentsUI documentation combined with PyObjC's general guidance on Python-to-Objective-C translation.

The package is intended for macOS application developers who need to integrate Siri Shortcuts or intent-handling UI into Python applications. It requires Python 3.10 or later and is actively maintained with support for current Python versions including 3.14 and 3.15. Installation is straightforward on macOS but not possible on other operating systems.

Use it for:

- Build macOS applications that respond to Siri Shortcuts and custom voice intents.
- Integrate intent-based UI components into Python-based macOS desktop applications.
- Create automation workflows that bridge Python scripts with native macOS intent handling.
- Develop Siri-compatible extensions or plugins for macOS applications written in Python.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides Python bindings for macOS's IntentsUI framework, enabling programmatic access to the native Siri Shortcuts and intent-handling UI components.

Yes, if you are developing for macOS and need to integrate Siri Shortcuts or IntentsUI components into a Python application. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive license, and supports current Python versions. Install only on macOS; it will not work on Linux or Windows.

## Install

pip install pyobjc-framework-intentsui
uv add pyobjc-framework-intentsui
poetry add pyobjc-framework-intentsui

## Installing pyobjc-framework-IntentsUI

Before you install: Medium friction: wheels are macOS-only (universal2 binaries for multiple Python versions) and require macOS 10.9 or later depending on Python version. Actively maintained with a release 3 days old. Depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Intents, both part of the same ecosystem.

License in practice: MIT license is permissive; you can use this in commercial or proprietary projects without restriction, though you should include the license notice.

Quickstart:

pip install pyobjc-framework-intentsui

from IntentsUI import INUIAddVoiceShortcutViewController
# Use IntentsUI components in your macOS application

macOS 10.9 or later required; wheels are universal2 binaries for macOS only and will not install on Linux or Windows.

Verify before relying:

- Whether IntentsUI framework is available on all supported macOS versions or requires specific OS releases beyond the wheel metadata.
- Performance characteristics or overhead of the Python-to-Objective-C bridge for real-time intent handling.
