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.
