Show HN: imessage-exporter, a CLI app and library
This is quite nice.iMessage doesn't keep your whole message history on-device.  You can scroll back and it will fetch a bit more each time, but that's it.Is there anyway to pull back to the beginning of time into the local database?  I'd like to retrieve some specific old messages from a friend who has passed away.  If I could get them out I could search (I know what I am looking for) but it would involve an unfeasible amount of "pull to fetch more"
