Messages

Sends the selected text to the macOS Messages sharing service.

Notes

Uses the service identifier com.apple.messages.ShareExtension which pops open a share sheet.

There is an alternative service identifier com.apple.share.Messages.window which puts the text directly in the messages window. But this service does not seem to be enabled always — I'm not sure why — so the extension was failing for some.

Changelog

  • 21 May 2024: Updated to revert to the original service identifier.
  • 14 May 2024: New version using PopClip internal sharing integration.
  • 2014-2019: Various updates to keep up wih macOS changes.
  • 3 May 2013: Initial release using 'MessageMaker.app' in bundle.
