right-click any image in chrome, hit "send to iphone." arrives via imessage in seconds.
the bridge only listens on 127.0.0.1. no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry. your images never leave your machine.
the bridge server is vanilla node.js โ no npm install, no package bloat. just clone and run.
images download to /tmp/, get sent via imessage, then immediately deleted. no trace left behind.
adds "๐ฑ send to iphone" to the right-click context menu on any image. sends the image url to the local bridge.
a zero-dependency node.js http server on localhost:7890. downloads the image and invokes applescript.
uses messages.app's scripting interface to send the downloaded image as an imessage attachment directly to your phone.
