Well done! Does it only remove attachments? Or can it also archive them elsewhere? For example, Dropbox is one of my primary data stores, and it would be great to be able to target a Dropbox folder to receive such attachments with their metadata.
for now, it just deletes the attachments. Happy to take feature requests - thanks for reading!
Simple free solution for getting rid of old iMessage attachments taking up all the space on your drive, but without deleting the old messages. I might be wrong, but I think that not much like this exists. MIT licensed, free, auditable. macos only, no iOS.
Nice! I like that it moves things to the recycling bin rather than straight up deleting them.
Also, the filtering is great. I wish Apple included that in the OSX (Storage > Messages) or iOS (Storage > Review Large Attachments) UIs. It seems like a must-have.
