iMessage daily recap
An end-of-day sweep of your texts: who's waiting on you, what got decided, what can wait.
The routine
How it works
iMessageEvery evening Pally reads the day's texts through the Pally Mac app and sends the short version: who's waiting on you, what got decided without you, and what can wait until tomorrow.
- Pick the hour you want to close out your texts.
- The recap separates what needs you from what happened: someone expecting a call, a plan now confirmed, a question with no answer.
- Reply while it's fresh. Tell Pally what to say and it sends from your iMessage; ask for a draft and you see it first.

Common questions
How does Pally read my iMessages?
Through the Pally Mac app on a Mac running macOS 13 or later, while the Mac is awake. The recap then arrives in your texts with Pally.
Can I ask for a different kind of summary?
Yes. Ask it to focus on unanswered questions, firm plans, or your own promises, and change the time whenever you like.
Will Pally send replies on its own?
No. A recap only reads. Pally sends a reply when you tell it to, or shows a draft first if you ask.
