Saw texts.com in a video by Ali Abdaal.
What I like:
all of my messages in one inbox.
What I don’t like:
$12.50 per month (and the pricing isn’t hidden but isn’t obvious).
I’d love a service like this, but can’t justify $12.50 (or AUD$19) for it.

For that much I’d have expected an iOS client to be already available!

Runs on Windows and macOS
Supports iMessage
How is that possible?
Even Apple’s own iCloud app on the Mac does not support access to iMessage
I am not aware of any way to. access iMessages except the Message app on iOS or macOS. Am I wrong?

Great question. Saying they support signal and telegram as well. Nothing on the website that explains how. Definitely interesting.

I’m aware of (but I don’t personally use) a competing service named Beeper which appears to have a very similar proposition.
They have this explanation on their FAQ

Interesting. Saw the other day that signal is saying that they’ll pull out of Europe if encryption is undermined. I did read the texts.com FAQ and it said that messages never touch their servers. Thanks for sharing!

Wow - very interesting - I am surprised we have not heard more about this sort of app - I will look into this more
