imsg

CLI for Apple Messages.app so scripts and agents can read, watch, and send iMessage/SMS

Desktopfreeglobal

A command-line tool that provides a stable JSON interface to Apple Messages.app, allowing scripts and background agents to read, watch, and send iMessage and SMS from the terminal. It is aimed at macOS developers automating messaging tasks and addresses the absence of a scriptable API in the GUI-only Messages app.
