Blueberry is a mac menu bar app that drafts responses to your iMessages in your voice. Nothing goes out until you click send. Great for the chronic ghosters and terrible texters!
Hi
My name is Rishi, I’m the one of the creators of Blueberry.
Our journey began when I very publicly got roasted for being a horrible texter.
In my defense, I didn’t do it on purpose. When I “accidentally ghost”, it usually goes something like this:
1. I see a text while I’m busy
2. I think, “I’ll respond to this later”
3. I completely forget about it
Once I’ve forgotten about it, it gets buried by the endless spam, group messages, and general noise that clutters my iMessage inbox, never to be found again.
This has had real consequences for me. Genuinely, I’ve lost work opportunities, fallen out of touch with previously close friends, and let potential dates fizzle out simply because I forgot to reply.
So we made Blueberry, it's a mac menu bar app that finds the messages that need a reply and auto-drafts a response in your voice.
You can view and send responses in one click, you can edit the response, or choose an alternative variation. And, it works with individual or group messages.
I want to be very clear, we don’t want to replace your iMessage app or automate your texting. Our goal is to remove the small bit of friction that turns “I’ll answer this later” into three months of accidental ghosting.
We also added some fun features like an unhinged mode, which is deranged and hilarious, and a flirt mode, for those of us who struggle to send that perfect text ;)
I want to also address privacy and security. Blueberry needs Full Disk Access to read your iMessages and Automation permission to send replies you approve.
Recent thread context is sent to the cloud to generate drafts. Our models are hosted on AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex servers. This means that your iMessages stay private and secure, and model providers cannot see your data or use it to train on.
Blueberry will never send messages automatically - you will always be the person to hit send, and we have a 5 second unsend just in case you change your mind!
It's great for people who:
- Live in Do Not Disturb mode,
- Read texts but don’t reply
- Get overwhelmed by group chats
- Constantly say, “Sorry, I just saw this.”
We'd love your feedback on Blueberry, what is it missing? What can we do to make this something you use every day?
This is our first launch on product hunt, and we're excited to share all of the other products we're building.
Refocus
The "nothing goes out until you click send" choice is the part I like most. I'm building a voice AI at Callie Care that calls aging parents every day, so I spend a lot of time on the same problem from the other side: people love someone, but the activation energy to reach out is just high enough that weeks slip by. Curious how you capture "your voice" per recipient early on. Does the tone shift based on relationship closeness (a parent vs a coworker), and roughly how many corrections does it take before the drafts actually feel like you?
