System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Access to macOS Messages (chat histories) and Contacts is restricted by privacy controls, making automation or scripting difficult without granting Full Disk Access.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AppleScript automation to read chat names, messages, and contact data using per-app permissions.
  • Beeper CLI alternative via Beeper Desktop for cross-platform access without Full Disk Access.
  • Fallback options for direct database access only when Full Disk Access is granted.

Quick Start

Run the AppleScript option to list chat names.
