iMessage Wrapped: Your 2020 as told by texts

Getting Started

Download link ||

To run iMessageWrapped, you will need:

 1. An OSX operating system
 2. Your contacts and chat messages stored locally

iMessageWrapped does NOT store or even process your data remotely.
All the work is done through your own local computer.

After downloading the app, navigate to Security and Privacy and give
iMessageWrapped Full Disk Access permission (if it does not appear in
the list, click the + button and search for it manually). This will
allow the app to analyze and compile your messages. In the same
screen give the Terminal (or default shell) program the same
permissions

[security]

Once you've done this, you can open the iMessageWrapped.app file. If
you get an unidentified developer error, try opening the app within
finder by right clicking, and selecting Open. At this point, you may
be prompted for access to your contacts, which you will also need to
allow.

A terminal will open, and after about 30 seconds, a browser window
will open and begin to display your statistics for the year.

The Tech

iMessageWrapped is build with Flask, Jinja, chart.js and leaflet.
iMessages and Contacts live in a SQLite DB which the app queries
directly. For parts of speech, the text is tokenized and tagged using
nltk's averaged_perceptron_tagger. You can find the link to the full
repo here
