What it does

Use Google Messages on your Mac and iPhone. Send texts, photos, and voice messages from your Android phone — with end-to-end encrypted push notifications and zero tracking.

Green Bubbles brings Google Messages to your Mac and iPhone. One QR code scan, and your conversations are just there. Green Bubbles isn't a web wrapper or a notification mirror. It's a real, native messaging app built in SwiftUI that syncs with your Android phone in real time. Privacy isn't a feature we bolted on. It's the foundation. There's no account to create, no data to hand over, and no analytics running in the background. Push notifications are end-to-end encrypted using keys that are generated on your device and never leave it. Our server forwards encrypted data — it has no idea what's inside.

    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…

  • I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
