BlueBubbles

community

iMessage relay for non-macOS deployments via BlueBubbles. Run Pi on Linux and still get blue bubbles, with a Mac mini as the relay.

BlueBubbles is a clever project: run a small server on a Mac mini that proxies iMessage to/from any client. openclawOS pairs over BlueBubbles’ WebSocket so your Gateway can live on Linux while iMessage stays on a Mac.

Setup

  1. Install BlueBubbles Server on a Mac (it’s free).
  2. Get the API URL + password from the BlueBubbles dashboard.
  3. Drop those into the openclawOS Control UI under Channels → BlueBubbles.

Why this exists

Some people want iMessage but don’t want their main Gateway on a Mac. BlueBubbles is the bridge. Pi runs on your Linux server, the Mac mini is reduced to a relay.

Run BlueBubbles through your own Pi.

Install openclawOS, pair this channel, message your agent. The whole loop is under five minutes.
