BlueFerry documentation¶
BlueFerry brings SMS, RCS, and iMessage from a paired iPhone to your Linux desktop over Bluetooth. There is no Mac relay, Apple login, iPhone app, cloud service, or subscription.
Note: BlueFerry is still experimental. Apple can change the Bluetooth behavior it relies on, so don't make it your only way to receive an important message yet.
