  • mmsd

  • > MMS or Multimedia Messages are supported by gammu but they are stored in a binary format I have yet to find documentation on how to make something usable out of it for download. Any info in it is greatly appreciated.

    You could look at this implementation: mmsd-tng [1]. It is used to handle MMSes on the PinePhone for instance.

  • signal-cli

    signal-cli provides an unofficial commandline, JSON-RPC and dbus interface for the Signal messenger.

  • A good free way to achieve this is to use Signal. This project https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli enables you to send Signal messages from the command line, including from Raspberry Pis. It obviously needs an internet connection to work, but has the added bonus of being more secure than SMS.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Gotify

    A simple server for sending and receiving messages in real-time per WebSocket. (Includes a sleek web-ui) (by gotify)

  • If you're on Android, there's Gotify [1]. You can self-host the server and install the app on either the Play Store, F-Droid, or just by downloading the APK.

    Or in brief:

    osascript -e 'tell application "Messages" to send "Hello World" to buddy "J Appleseed"'
