    The iMessage bridge you linked isn’t the same as this new app I don’t think. Doesn’t that bridge require a Mac computer where this new app doesn’t?

      My understanding is that when you use their app you also use bridge that they host which happens on something that runs Mac OS.

        That was their old model, but this is a complete reimplementation of iMessage and requires no Apple ID, login details, etc. It’s E2E encrypted like all iMessage texts, and Beeper only knows that you have a message waiting, not the contents.
