    Hi HN, I built a small developer tool called *SimGate*. Problem: most SMS APIs (Twilio, etc.) charge per-SMS. For small projects, prototypes, or local businesses, this adds up quickly. What I made: - An Android app that connects your phone to the cloud via WebSocket. - A simple REST API where you send JSON (`deviceId`, `phoneNumber`, `message`). - Your phone sends the SMS using its own SIM plan — no extra per-SMS fees. Use cases: OTP codes, alerts, internal tools, or any project where you just need reliable SMS without provider costs. Stack: Node/Express + Websockets (backend). Demo &…

    Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

    While playing with agents I realised it might be quite handy if they could get access to OTP codes. And while at it, why not give them ability to send the SMS as well. Twillio is expensive and annoying to set up for my taste. I vibe coded simple Android app that can read/send SMS and simple relay server that acts as MCP for agents. Works surprisingly well and my old android phone from a drawer is doing something useful again. Feel free to use it if you find it useful. I put it just to a $5 vps. If it's crashed, you should be able to spin up your own instance on your own VPS just in a…
