Fuzzy search and browse Apple Messages using the messages CLI tool.
If the messages CLI is not installed, install it:
git clone https://github.com/cardmagic/messages.git
cd messages && make install
Requirements:
Browse recent messages and conversations (no search query needed):
# Show most recent messages (answers "who texted me?")
messages recent
# List contacts by recent activity
messages contacts --limit 10
# List conversations with message counts
messages conversations
# Show recent messages from/to a specific person
messages from "John"
# Show full conversation thread with someone
messages thread "John" --after 2024-12-01
Fuzzy search through message content with typo tolerance:
# Rebuild index and search (recommended for first use or after new messages)
messages index-and-search "search query"
# Search with filters
messages search "query" --from "John"
messages search "query" --after 2024-06-01
messages search "query" --limit 25
messages search "query" --context 5
# Combine filters
messages search "dinner" --from "Mom" --after 2024-01-01 --limit 15
Filtering tips: Sender filter supports partial matches (--from "John" matches "John Smith") and phone numbers (--from "+1555"). Use quotes around multi-word search terms: "dinner plans".
# Check index stats (message count, date range, etc.)
