schedule-texts-from-txt

 

Schedule iMessage texts from .txt files from your Mac.

a cute smiling mailbox

Send your first text

 

 1. Clone this repo to your computer.
 2. Verify there is a file in example_scheduled_texts folder named
    Text myself now.txt that has the word "Hello!" in the file body.
 3. Open SETTINGS.txt and replace the number after myself=... to your
    phone number.
 4. Open your terminal to this project directory and run these
    commands in order
     1. virtualenv venv
     2. source activate.sh
     3. pip install -r requirements.txt
     4. python send_scheduled_messages.py
 5.  If everything went well, you should receive an iMessage text
    that says "Hello!" from yourself

How it works

 

The script parses the filename, Text {person} {datetime}.txt, to
determine who and when to send the text message.

 1. The first word in the filename must be "Text."
 2. The second word, person must be the persons identifier. This is
    set in SETTINGS.txt, e.g., bob=1234567890 would set bob's phone
    number to 1234567890
 3. Everything following the name, before the .txt, is considered the
    datetime. Many formats may work for the datetime, but this is the
    only one I have tested extensively: Month D, YYYY HH:MM(AM|PM),
    for example March 9, 2024 7:25AM. You can also use the keyword
    now as a datetime to send one immediately.
