# iMessage
|
|
|
|
Use `imsg` to read and send iMessage/SMS via macOS Messages.app.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- **macOS** with Messages.app signed in
|
|
- Install: `brew install steipete/tap/imsg`
|
|
- Grant Full Disk Access for terminal (System Settings → Privacy → Full Disk Access)
|
|
- Grant Automation permission for Messages.app when prompted
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- User asks to send an iMessage or text message
|
|
- Reading iMessage conversation history
|
|
- Checking recent Messages.app chats
|
|
- Sending to phone numbers or Apple IDs
|
|
|
|
## When NOT to Use
|
|
|
|
- Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp messages → use the appropriate gateway channel
|
|
- Group chat management (adding/removing members) → not supported
|
|
- Bulk/mass messaging → always confirm with user first
|
|
|
|
## Quick Reference
|
|
|
|
### List Chats
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
imsg chats --limit 10 --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### View History
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# By chat ID
|
|
imsg history --chat-id 1 --limit 20 --json
|
|
|
|
# With attachments info
|
|
imsg history --chat-id 1 --limit 20 --attachments --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Send Messages
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Text only
|
|
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hello!"
|
|
|
|
# With attachment
|
|
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Check this out" --file /path/to/image.jpg
|
|
|
|
# Force iMessage or SMS
|
|
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hi" --service imessage
|
|
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "Hi" --service sms
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Watch for New Messages
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
imsg watch --chat-id 1 --attachments
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Service Options
|
|
|
|
- `--service imessage` — Force iMessage (requires recipient has iMessage)
|
|
- `--service sms` — Force SMS (green bubble)
|
|
- `--service auto` — Let Messages.app decide (default)
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
1. **Always confirm recipient and message content** before sending
|
|
2. **Never send to unknown numbers** without explicit user approval
|
|
3. **Verify file paths** exist before attaching
|
|
4. **Don't spam** — rate-limit yourself
|
|
|
|
## Example Workflow
|
|
|
|
User: "Text mom that I'll be late"
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Find mom's chat
|
|
imsg chats --limit 20 --json | jq '.[] | select(.displayName | contains("Mom"))'
|
|
|
|
# 2. Confirm with user: "Found Mom at +1555123456. Send 'I'll be late' via iMessage?"
|
|
|
|
# 3. Send after confirmation
|
|
imsg send --to "+1555123456" --text "I'll be late"
|
|
```
