Love it, and would love to see more analysis based on chat.db. A while ago I made a script to select a conversation from a person and output it as a styled PDF, and gave it to them as a gift. It was a hit :-) still need to publish that code, but it was for a previous version of iOS when it used to be sms.db.

Thanks! There's a lot more I would want to include in a V2 - statistics like average contact response time, top phrases, and conversation analysis (did you like to double text? did you have conversations in bursts or consistently?).

That said, it's been cool sharing with friends and seeing the results they share with me. Seeing some interest dips/spikes in text frequency around the start of the pandemic depending on the person.

It would be cool to tie this data into a personal CRM so you could e.g. get a reminder when it's been longer than 6 months without texting a person

I like that! It bugs me endlessly that you can't schedule/get nudged by imessages
