iMessage Integration with RPLY
AI replies, search, and triage for iMessage. Runs locally on your Mac.
How It Works
RPLY connects to the native Messages database on your Mac. No browser extension, no relay. It reads your local conversations, indexes them on-device, and surfaces what needs attention.
When a message arrives, RPLY analyzes full thread context — who, what was discussed, what commitments were made — and drafts a reply in your voice. You review, edit, send.
Works with every iMessage feature: group chats, tapbacks, inline replies, photos, link previews. One unified view of everything.
Key Features
Voice-matched drafts
Learns your texting style from actual history. Abbreviations, emoji habits, punctuation, tone shifts between contacts. Drafts are indistinguishable from your own messages.
Semantic search
Find messages by meaning. Search "restaurant Sarah recommended last month" — RPLY surfaces the thread even if "restaurant" was never typed.
Intelligent triage
Conversations ranked by urgency. Business leads and time-sensitive requests surface first. Social chats stay organized but deprioritized.
Contact-aware context
RPLY builds a relationship graph from your conversations. Knows your close contacts, topics per person, adjusts suggestions accordingly.
Group chat intelligence
Tracks who said what. Identifies when you are addressed directly. Drafts replies to the right person. No more scrolling 200 messages to catch up.
iCloud Messages sync
iPhone syncs to iCloud Messages? Those conversations appear on your Mac and RPLY indexes them automatically.
