iMessage/SMS CLI for listing chats, history, watch, and sending.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# imsg Actions

## Overview

Use `imsg` to read and send Messages.app iMessage/SMS on macOS.

Requirements: Messages.app signed in, Full Disk Access for your terminal, and Automation permission to control Messages.app for sending.

## Inputs to collect

- Recipient handle (phone/email) for `send`
- `chatId` for history/watch (from `imsg chats --limit 10 --json`)
- `text` and optional `file` path for sends

## Actions

### List chats

```bash
imsg chats --limit 10 --json
```

### Fetch chat history

```bash
imsg history --chat-id 1 --limit 20 --attachments --json
```

### Watch a chat

```bash
imsg watch --chat-id 1 --attachments
```

### Send a message

```bash
imsg send --to "+14155551212" --text "hi" --file /path/pic.jpg
```

## Notes

- `--service imessage|sms|auto` controls delivery.
- Confirm recipient + message before sending.

## Ideas to try

- Use `imsg chats --limit 10 --json` to discover chat ids.
- Watch a high-signal chat to stream incoming messages.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bitterbot-ai/bitterbot-desktop/imsg@sha256:b25203eb1d7b9448

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260328.33f9833, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
