Beeper CLI

Beeper is a universal chat app that unifies messages from WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, iMessage, Discord, and more in a single inbox.

This skill provides read-only access to your local Beeper chat history. Browse threads, search messages, and extract conversation data.

Requirements

  • Beeper Desktop app installed (provides the SQLite database)
  • beeper-cli
    binary on PATH

Database Path

The CLI auto-detects:

  • ~/Library/Application Support/BeeperTexts/index.db
    (macOS)
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Beeper/index.db
    (macOS)

Override with:

  • --db /path/to/index.db
  • BEEPER_DB=/path/to/index.db

Commands

List Threads

beeper-cli threads list --days 7 --limit 50 --json

Show Thread Details

beeper-cli threads show --id "!abc123:beeper.local" --json

List Messages in Thread

beeper-cli messages list --thread "!abc123:beeper.local" --limit 50 --json

Search Messages (Full-Text)

# Simple search
beeper-cli search 'invoice' --limit 20 --json

# Phrase search
beeper-cli search '"christmas party"' --limit 20 --json

# Proximity search
beeper-cli search 'party NEAR/5 christmas' --limit 20 --json

# With context window (messages before/after match)
beeper-cli search 'meeting' --context 6 --window 60m --json

Database Info

beeper-cli db info --json

Notes

  • Read-only: This tool never sends messages
  • JSON output: Always use
    --json
    for structured output agents can parse
  • FTS5 search: Uses Beeper's built-in full-text index (FTS5) for fast search
  • DM name resolution: Optionally resolves DM names via bridge databases (disable with
    --no-bridge
    )

Option 1: Go Install (recommended)

go install github.com/krausefx/beeper-cli/cmd/beeper-cli@latest
