Your chats.
Actually readable.

· How it works ·

Local first, then selective AI.

Lore is built around your own copy of Messages data, not a cloud inbox connection.

1

Import chat.db

Copy your Mac Messages database and import it into Lore. The app builds a local index on this device.

2

Ask or wrap

Generate a full iMessage Wrapped, a one-person wrap, a date mini wrap, or a one-page answer.

3

Share the card

Export the Wrapped-style PNG when you want. Lore ignores photos, videos, audio, and attachments.

· Privacy ·

Lore does not upload your full database.

On-device index

The imported chat.db, local index, cached Wraps, and local answers stay on your device.

Selected text only

When you ask for a Wrap or answer, Lore sends selected message excerpts or aggregate stats needed for that request to Claude.

No ad use

Lore message data is not sent to TikTok, Meta, marketing systems, or Merl training datasets.

Text only

Lore reads message text and metadata. Photos, videos, audio, and attachments are ignored.

· FAQ ·

How much does Lore cost?
Ask cards cost 5 mana. Date mini Wrapped pages cost 35 mana. One-person wraps cost 75 mana. A full iMessage Wrapped costs 125 mana.
Can Lore read my Messages automatically?
