Jared

Why we included this project

Jared brings a chatbot into your existing iMessage threads, so you get automated replies without leaving the app you already use. It runs on a Mac with an active Messages account, watches the message database for new messages, and sends replies through AppleScript. The bundled commands are intentionally minimal, but the extension points carry the weight: native Swift plugins, webhooks that push message events to your own server, and a REST API for sending messages programmatically. That makes it a solid base for hobbyists and small teams prototyping personal assistants, scheduled messages, or custom chat commands without building a messaging integration from scratch. One caveat: it needs macOS and full disk access, so plan on a dedicated Mac or a separate Apple ID rather than your daily driver.
