Autogenerating a Book Series from Three Years of iMessages
I don't think this works with more recent iMessage features, it looks like it only queries the `text` column [0], but newer (i.e. post MacOS 13) require reading and parsing the attributed_body column [1].

Mac OS
If you are capable of running cli applications macApt is pretty sophisticated and feature rich analysis tool for MacOS. If it doesn’t have the exact feature you need you could extend it to identify activities of this ‘foreign’ software. Full disclosure I contributed to this project by developing the Docker container, and published the work, unpaid.
