stephancasas Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Mouseless Messenger Mouseless Messenger offers you rapid keyboard-driven access to send and read conversations in the macOS Messages app via Alfred — all without ever interacting with the Messages app. Click Here to Download the Latest Release Installation Before the workflow can be used, you'll need to provide Alfred with Full Disk Access privileges via System Preferences: Open System Preferences Choose Security and Privacy Choose Privacy Select Full Disk Access Unlock the 🔒 in the bottom left corner. Enable the checkbox for Alfred. If unavailable, use the ➕ button to add Alfred. ⚠️ Privilege Escalation Full Disk Access is used to provide Alfred with access to the Messages database. However, by providing Alfred with this access, you are providing ALL Alfred workflow with access — not just Mouseless Messenger. Be sure you trust your installed workflows before allowing this. Usage The workflow is triggered by the keyword msg. On run, you'll be provided with the your eight (8) most recent conversations in the Messages app. To preview a message thread, press the SHIFT key while a conversation is selected. Press it again to dismiss the conversation preview. To reply to a message thread, press the ENTER or RETURN key while a conversation is selected, then type your reply in the provided input space and press ENTER to send it. In order for the message to send, the Messages app must be running in the background. The window doesn't need to be in the foreground (or even visible), but the app itself must be running. Support the Workflow I built Mouseless Messenger because I code all day and don't like to take my hands off the keyboard. If you find it useful, please consider buying me a coffee so that I can keep building cool things like this. If you have a feature you'd like added, or an issue which needs attention, please open an issue on GitHub. giovanni, milopus, JJJJ and 1 other 4 Link to comment

cands Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) This seems very useful, unfortunately it does not work for me on macOS 12.4 and Alfred 4.6.6 [1303]. Full Disk Access has been granted and Alfred has been restarted (also restarted the computer just in case). The debugger provides the following brief information: ERROR: Mouseless Messenger[Script Filter] Code 1: /Users/***/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Scripts/A1EB22C3-A50D-427E-B2D8-2632031A2F76: execution error: Error: Error: Can't get object. (-1728) I opened an issue on GitHub. Edited June 23, 2022 by cands Link to comment

Machinegun Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Works great so far! Is there anyway to add a feature--we can type in the name of the recipient (with autocomplete powers) in conjunction with displaying the last 8 conversations? Link to comment
arcaydes Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Does not seem to work for me. Typing msg does nothing and searches alfred as normal. Full disk access is granted. cdthomer 1 Link to comment

kraig85 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hi. I'm still getting that Code 1/null error. I'm assuming it's due to iCloud messages but I can't seem to find where to disable them on Ventura? Slatts 1 Link to comment

Would be better if you got rid of the "Chat with" and just showed the Contact Name / Number instead.. Link to comment

aaa Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 This is great! I have one minor suggestions: I would love the ability have the option to switch the preview between dark/light mode. Or better yet - could you set the preview colors based on the current Alfred theme? Link to comment
