Pillar Box

Pillar Box recreates the "AutoFill for SMS codes" feature that is available in Safari on macOS. It consists of a macOS application which will monitor your messages for incoming SMS codes, and a Chrome extension which will communicate with the macOS application to listen for SMS codes and automatically fill them in.

Key features

• Automatically fill in SMS codes from your messages
• No need to copy and paste codes from messages, or switch between apps
• Secure, nothing leaves your machine

Pre-cooked

The easiest way to get started is to download the latest release from the releases page. Download both files:

• Pillar Box.zip - The macOS application
• pillar-box-chromium-extension.zip - The Chromium extension

Extract the app from the archive and run it, you may need to go to System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access and allow the app for it to run.

Extract the extension from the archive and navigate to chrome://extensions/ in your browser. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right corner, click "Load unpacked" and select the extension you just extracted.

That should be it, go to a website that requires an SMS code and you should see the code automatically filled in.
