Does anyone know where the source code for Beeper Cloud's iMessage bridge is?
It’s written in Go and hasn’t been opened yet but it’s heavily based around this project: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush

Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access after launch of service that brought iMessage to Android | TechCrunch
neither this nor search is very much a hard problem as it’s been solved many times over already. The harder part is that beeper never reverse engineered anything, they bought the POC from a high school kid that did it as a project: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush meaning they never had the ability to do it in the first place

Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access
This should have been obvious to anyone who saw the code where it simply contained the raw literal string `FAIRPLAY_PRIVATE_KEY = b64decode(“…”)`. I suppose now we’ll see how accurate the commenter’s claim “if this becomes a problem, I know how to generate new keys” is.

- Beeper got a C&D according to an insider
- Apple to Android after 10+ years

Beeper Mini is an interesting alternative to AirMessage
Beeper open-sourced their reverse engineering effort, which means that there will now be a significant ongoing community effort to maintain the solution. It would be very difficult to stop the Beeper solution from working without also breaking iMessage clients running on older versions of MacOS or iOS. Apple may be able to keep new iMessage features locked up, but it would probably only be a matter of time before the community manages to reverse engineer those features, as well.

Thoughts on Beeper Mini being insecure?
He also has to fake being an apple device using real device identifiers. https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush/blob/main/emulated/data.plist

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
> I wish quick share (né nearby share) was available on linux (even if via chrome).
I made NearDrop, which is a macOS implementation of Nearby Share: https://github.com/grishka/NearDrop
And of course, someone tried to reimplement it for other OSes: https://github.com/PlutoHDDev/CrossDrop

10 Mac Apps I Regret Not Using Sooner

Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access
> So what happens is that I gravitate to other ecosystems.
I use a Mac but an Android phone. Android because I require the ability to install apps from arbitrary sources, including piracy. Mac because modern Windows is so contemptuous towards its users, and desktop Linux falls apart unless you know the intricacies of its internals.
Anyway, transferring files between the two was a pain in the butt that eventually grew so immense I reverse engineered Google's Nearby Share and made this: https://github.com/grishka/NearDrop
Though yes, I'm not North American so iMessage is just a non-issue to me. I don't know anyone who uses it. Anyone hardly uses SMS for actual messaging between people, everyone's SMS inbox is 95% OTP codes and various other automatic notifications. Literally everyone who I communicate with is reachable through Telegram.

Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
Nearby Share isn't locked down and, in fact, works just fine with zero Google involvement. Google only needs to be involved for limited device visibility and all the phone number stuff that entails.
Here's the protocol docs I wrote: https://github.com/grishka/NearDrop/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md

I usually use NearDrop which is compatible with nearby sharing. https://github.com/grishka/NearDrop

Those who use android phone - what software do you use to backup your phone to mac?
I don't necessarily back up my android to my Mac. I keep both environments separate, however, you can try this or this looks interesting but seems like some elbow grease involved

I made one recently
