I think someone will have to code something in cocoa or applescript that passes the protocol to emacsclient. See this post by Sebastian for more details: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/14903 That said, I don't really know too much about the internals of MacOS X, so I may be wrong about this. BTW, the only browser I was able to get working with org-protocol on the Mac was conkeror, a browser that uses emacs-style keybindings. http://www.conkeror.org For emacs users, conkeror is particularly convenient browser, not least because you can call commands with M-x or get information about commands using "apropos" (C-h a). If anyone is interested in trying it out, I put up instructions on how to set up conkeror on the org-protocol page. You can even bind org-remember to C-c r in conkeror! http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php#sec-8.1 Best, Matt
