BlueFerry brings your iPhone’s messages to Linux over Bluetooth. Read and send iMessage, SMS, and RCS from a GTK, KDE, Quickshell, or terminal client.
BlueFerry brings your iPhone's messages to Linux over Bluetooth without requiring a proxy, iPhone app, jailbreak, or iCloud login.
The main features and capabilities of BlueFerry include:
Native Bluetooth Protocol Communication: Communicates directly between your computer and phone using Bluetooth protocols natively supported by iOS.
Multi-Client Interfaces: Offers GTK, KDE / Kirigami, Quickshell, and terminal (TUI) client options.
Broad Linux Distribution Support: Provides pre-built packages for Arch Linux (including CachyOS and Omarchy), Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora.
Message & Contact Syncing: Enables reading and sending iMessage, SMS, and RCS text messages while syncing contact names and preserving messages received while connected.
Omarchy Bar Integration: Features a bar widget plugin that displays connection status, unread conversations, and an inline reply field.
Explicit Hardware & Feature Scope: Focuses on text messaging—attachments, reactions, typing indicators, phone calls, and FaceTime are not supported, and features depend on local Bluetooth adapter support.
