iMessage conversation archiver

Create an app that saves iMessage threads as searchable, visual albums. For users who want to preserve important conversations privately.

Why now

People increasingly value digital memory preservation but lack good tools for messaging apps.

Who for
Privacy-conscious message users
Business model
Paid app
Effort
A few weeks

Important conversations get lost in message history. Screenshots are clunky and don't preserve context.

Build a native Mac/iOS app that exports threads with metadata intact. Add search, tagging, and visual organization like a photo album.

Premium one-time purchase or subscription for power users. Market to professionals and families preserving memories.

MVP: Basic export to PDF with images. Then add organization features.

Risk: Apple might restrict message access in future OS updates.
