   iMessage-exporter, a full-featured CLI app and library▲15

   I've spent a long time reverse engineering nearly every aspect of Apple's iMessage SQLite tables to build this program. As far as I know, there are no other tools that support the full corpus of iMessage features, including edited messages, app messages, reactions, and threads. I built this software to preserve some conversations with loved ones; I hope others find it useful as well. For the curious, here are some of the more interesting aspects of the database I came across: - Dates are stored as Unix timestamp with an epoch of 1/1/2001 00:00:00 - Messages can have multiple parts,…

    Annoyingly, iPhones don't have a great way to schedule messages. This around 100 lines of python to schedule iMessage texts from .txt files on your computer. If this is useful to you, please give it a try and let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Extract iMessage Attachments and Links into Organized Folders▲28

    I created a simple shell (zsh) script to help macOS users extract attachments (photos, videos, audio files) and URLs from their iMessages. The script pulls data directly from the Messages database (chat.db), organizes attachments into folders named after each contact or group conversation, and compiles all shared links into CSV files. This tool can be useful for anyone looking to back up or organize files shared over iMessage without needing the entire conversation history. It also handles macOS's complex local storage structure for attachments. No sign-ups or dependencies beyond macOS and…
