Draft SMS and iMessage from any computer keyboard




Draft SMS and iMessage from any computer keyboard



















If you’re like me, you don’t love the ergonomics of writing long text
messages on your mobile phone keyboard. We own an “Arteck HB066”
Bluetooth keyboard for this use-case which works great and costs $45.
But I’m not interested in spending money today.

What if
I could write text messages, both SMS or iMessage, using any computer keyboard?

This little tool does just that: write text messages in
this browser window, and it’ll generate a QR code which you can scan with your phone camera to send the message.
If you are sending to multiple recipients, use a comma (,) to delimit the different recipient
phone numbers. I recommend using international codes (+1 for the USA), but it appears to work at least on iOS without them.

Don’t know or don’t want to type in your recipient phone number directly? Add a 1 as the recipient, scan the QR code,
and then fill in the recipients on your phone to use auto-complete from your contacts list.

All data stays within the browser: your data is not processed, saved, or sent to
any other server. If this tool is useful: bookmark the page for later use and let me know what you think.

Wow, you made it to the end! …and you’re thinking, what now?
