Instead of avast add Terminal to full-disk access.

🦋 Usage

IMMAT will only be running on Mac the commands would be given from iMessage on other devices.

Example -

Password - $
Command - ts (Take Screenshot)

Message the below command through iMessage to Mac.

$ Ts

This will reply you with the screenshot of the Mac.

These are the available commands :-

💻 MacOS Demo

Instead of main.py enter Immat.py

📱 iPhone Demo

💠 How does it work?

iMessage on MacOS saves all messages it got to chat.db database. and the messages are saved in messages table of that database.

Whenever a new message is received; IMMAT checks if it has the password which you have entered while running IMMAT and checks for a matching command.

If the message matches the command then the following function is executed.

All of these happens locally so there is no need to worry about the privacy and security.
