# autoMessage > autoMessage turns your Mac into an AI-powered iMessage machine. It's a native macOS menu bar app plus a hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, letting Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, n8n, Zapier, Make, and any MCP client read and send iMessages from the user's own Apple ID. Bring-your-own-device model: customers run the Mac app on their own hardware with their own Apple ID, avoiding the $150-$1,000/month per-line fees charged by competitors who rent Mac minis in data centers. autoMessage is built for developers, AI builders, sales teams, real estate professionals, and small agencies who want AI to draft, schedule, and send iMessages from the account they already own. Pricing starts at $29/month with a 7-day free trial; there are no per-message fees and no annual contracts required. ## Product - [Homepage](https://automessage.app/): overview, integrations, how it works, pricing comparison, FAQ. - [Pricing](https://automessage.app/pricing/): Solo $29/mo — Mac app, hosted MCP server, REST API, webhooks, CRM connectors, dashboard, cloud sync, everything we ship.
