Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I’ve learned from this post… Most people in Croatia use Viber!

      Maybe a good idea for a blog post, but the general gist is this:

      1. Buy an old/cheap Mac mini
      2. Set up AirMessage or BlueBubbles (open source)
      3. Run a command or get an app so keep your Mac mini (or whatever other Apple device you’re using) awake 24/7

      The messages will get delivered to your Mac, and then forwarded to your phone via AirMessage or BlueBubbles.

        I want to do something like this but airmessage does not have a desktop client that works without using their clouds. I use a Apple phone but I just want to be able to respond to texts on my Linux computers. I have an iMac server that I vnc into but it’s kind of annoying just to respond to a text.
