Features

Everything iMessage can do.
Through an API.

Two-way messaging, image support, typing indicators, read receipts, and reactions. All over a simple REST interface.

Blue Bubbles

Real iMessage delivery with tapback reactions and message effects. End-to-end encrypted blue bubbles that feel native.

Image & File Support

Send and receive photos, PDFs, and voice memos with automatic transcription. Any file type iMessage supports.

Typing & Read Receipts

Show typing animation while processing. Display read receipts when messages are seen. The full conversational experience.

Bot-Friendly

No Apple review process. No mandatory human agent. Build fully automated AI assistants, chatbots, and notification services.

Webhooks

Inbound messages hit your endpoint in real-time. Structured JSON with sender, text, attachments, and metadata.
