Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

n8n nodes for Apple Messages

Bring your iPhone SMS & iMessage into n8n, locally on your Mac. It lets you capture every incoming message on Apple Messages (iMessage / RCS / SMS) and automate it with n8n.

This project is not affiliated with Apple. “macOS”, “iMessage” and “iPhone” are trademarks of Apple Inc.

This package only works for n8n instances self-hosted on bare-metal macOS.

How to install

  1. In your n8n dashboard, go to Settings → Community Nodes and install n8n-nodes-apple-messages.

  2. Get an activation key from here at any price you wish. It will look like this: XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ.

  3. Enable Message Forwarding on your iPhone. See https://support.apple.com/en-in/102545

  4. Grant Full Disk Access (macOS) to n8n. This is required to collected forwarded messages from the file system.

    System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access → add: n8n or node

Usage

Just enter your activation key you got from Step 2 and it's all setup!

FAQs

Q: I see no events after sending a message.

Try these things:

  • Ensure Full Disk Access is granted (See installation instructions).
  • Ensure Message Forwarding is enabled on your iPhone (See installation instructions).
  • Confirm SMS/iMessage reaches the Mac (green/blue bubble appears in Messages).
  • Disable Only SMS if you’re testing with iMessage (blue bubble).
  • Delete ~/.sms_forwarder_lastrow and try again.

Q: I still can't get this to work. Do you offer support?

Yes, reach me via email at [email protected].

--

Q: Will this work if I am outside?

Yes, this should work as long as your n8n instance is running. It does not require iPhone and Mac to be on the same network.

--

Q: Can I use this on cloud n8n?

No. This only works on n8n instances hosted on macOS connected to same iCloud as your iPhone. You can setup a relay that forwards events from your Mac to a remote instance.
