CLIChatty
A curses-based terminal interface to the chatty messaging app's database. Messages are sent using mmcli, and MMS messages are sent through the mmsd-tng daemon over D-Bus. It is designed to be used via SSH, this way you can message from your computer.
SSH into your phone, then run clic or clichatty to start the program. For help with
keybindings, press H. For help with flags, run clic -h.
MMS
Multimedia messages (pictures, files, group chats) require mmsd-tng to be
running on the phone (Chatty launches it automatically), and gdbus
(part of glib2-utils) on PATH.
- In the compose window,
<c-x>attaches a file and the message is sent as an MMS. Group threads and messages sent with-s/--subjectare also sent as MMS. - From the command line:
cli -a 'alias' -m 'text' -f /path/to/image.jpg -f /path/to/file.txt
Sent and received MMS are recorded and their attachments cached by the Chatty
app itself: mmsd-tng's MessageAdded signal tells Chatty about every MMS
(it saves payloads under $XDG_DATA_HOME/chatty/mms/<tag>/ and writes the
messages/mm_messages/files rows). Clichatty just triggers the send via
mmsd-tng and displays what Chatty stored, so nothing is recorded twice.
