Maybe a clever developer out there will (has?) created an app to extract information from Apple’s Messages database (but that may well violate Apple’s ToS). If one needs to keep records of conversations in Messages, and link to them, it seems necessary to copy/paste : e.g., to OmniOutliner, which maintains the formatting and has a deep Copy Link function (or try one file per day). Would be nice for there to be a communication client that was linkable and supported find / export better. It’s been a long time since I used Adium. (Even Slack doesn’t automate Copy Link on a particular message, just the channel). In fact, whenever Apple releases a new version of the Mac OS, I will not move to it until this application (along with 5 others) is compatible with that new OS. HoudahSpot has probably more features but, if so. I’ve tried Telegram and Skype which aren’t much better on this score. Download the latest version of EasyFind for Mac for free. Slack had that limitation for a long time) ( Copy Markdown Link is quite handy for that situation which can happen in other apps too. I use Hook’s Copy Markdown Link to get around that - then paste them into Apple Messages. I don’t understand Apple’s thinking on this.Īlso, in Big Sur you can’t paste RTF links into Apple Messages anymore - it strips out the URL and just keeps the link name. It’s as if they don’t want users to be able to mine their own conversations. Navigating, finding and exporting messages is extremely hard with Apple Messages.app unfortunately. Messages.app does not have an API for linking.
