iMessage search is still broken in 2025. So I fixed it myself. It doesn't even work most of the time. When it does, it's slow, misses messages constantly, and only matches exact words. Search "dinner" and you won't find "let's grab food." iMessage Intelligence fixes all of this while also being insanely fast. Here's how it works: → Full text search index on your messages for keyword matching → On-device ML (MiniLM via CoreML) generates semantic embeddings. Your Mac generates these embeddings in under a minute, then syncs to your phone → sqlite-vec stores vectors locally for similarity search → Hybrid results: keyword hits appear in <10ms, semantic matches merge in <60ms It also has advanced filters iMessage doesn't have: sort options, date ranges, conversation filters, sent vs received, groups vs 1-on-1. Search runs 100% on-device. No cloud processing. Sign up for the waitlist:
