So I’ve always had this weird obsession with building my own iMessage agent - like, imagine your own bot living inside your iPhone, sending messages, replying smartly, maybe even trolling your friends a little
Then I found out companies like Linq Blue and SendBlue (both YC) charge over $1000/month just to do this. Yeah, no thanks.
So I built it myself.
iMessageKit is an open-source TypeScript SDK that lets you send and operate iMessages programmatically. Texts, photos, even RCS messages - all through a clean, strongly typed API.
Now I can build iMessage bots and automations without burning cash, and honestly, it feels great to beat the paywalls.
Yooo that's sick! If you haven't checked out Blooio too, come play with it for free. Free trial on the house no credit card needed and you don't even need to manage the phone yourself and the team can get ya almost any area code. Starting at $199/mo
