Mssgs is a power-user interface for your iMessage data. Full-text search across your entire history, browse threads by time or sender, explore every attachment, and export conversations that look exactly like they do on your phone. Works with live device data or archived backups.
Apple's Messages app is great for day-to-day conversations, but it falls apart when you need to actually find something. Searching is slow and limited. There's no way to browse attachments across conversations. Exporting a thread means screenshots. And if you have years of message history, good luck navigating any of it efficiently.
Mssgs gives you real tools to work with the data you already have. It reads the same iMessage database your Mac already stores locally and presents it through an interface built for searching, browsing, and exporting at scale.
Full-Text Search instantly searches your entire message history and returns results in context so you can jump straight to the conversation that matters.
Thread Browser lets you navigate conversations by date, sender, or recency. See your full history organized the way you need it, not just as a single chronological list.
Attachment Explorer shows every photo, video, document, and link across all your conversations. Filter by type, date, or file size to find exactly what you're looking for.
Export and Archive produces clean exports of any conversation that preserve the look and feel of iMessage. Archive your data on your terms, in formats you control.
Mssgs works with your Mac's live iMessage database for real-time access, or with archived backup files for offline browsing. Switch between sources without any setup.
