## iMessage Analyzer - Mac App
### Analyzes a user's iMessages while providing cool functionality
Analyzes a user's iMessage database (chat.db*) to understand a user and their friends' messaging habits by graphing (and calculating statistics) on those characteristics.
Adds some unique functionality from Messages.app that provides a better experience, including a refined search for messages.
*chat.db, where a user's messages are stored, can be found in 2 ways:
1. Where Messages.app (Apple's official Messages.app - iMessage for Mac) stores its data
2. Where the iPhone's chat.db database is stored after a backup to the computer[Demo Video](https://www.facebook.com/dsouzarc/videos/10207832774234001/?permPage=1)

###### Newest features
- Double messages: See who sends the most followup messages; defined as successive messages sent by the same person within 3 minutes to 8 hours of the last message send time
- Conversation starters: See who starts the most conversations; defined as who messages first after 8 hours of the last message in the conversation#### Current Features:
- Looks like iMessage
+ Contacts tableview on left side with contact name + profile picture
+ iMessages you sent are in blue on the right side of messages panel
- Normal text messages you send are in green
+ iMessages you received are in gray on the left side of messages panel
+ Shows each message's date/time and read receipts##### Unique from iMessage Features
- **Loads all of a user's messages** (as opposed to scrolling up forever to see the first few messages)
+ Still memory efficient and quick for large conversations
- Tested on conversations with > 26,000 messages
- Tested on total messages > 60,000
- Barely uses 110MB of RAM
- Minimal CPU usage- Searching for text shows conversations
+ With text that matches the conversation
+ With contact names/numbers/emails that match the text
+ Still (somehow) quicker than iMessage's search for conversations with text
+ Searched text is highlighted in yellow
+ Pressing enter moves to the next occurrence of that text- View **messages sent and received on a certain date** for a conversation
+ Calendar view pops up and a date can be chosen to view all messages with that conversant on
+ Pressing "Reset to All" shows all messages with person- Double clicking on contact in Contacts Tableview on the left shows
+ **Total number of messages you sent and received** in that conversation
+ Option to perform More Analysis- More Analysis
+ Shows the following for All Time or on a specific date
- **Words organized by frequency/occurrence** for each person
+ Uses a Heap Data Structure I wrote
- Total number of messages sent and received
- Total number of words sent and received
- Average word per message sent and received
- Date selected from calendar view on bottom left
- The actual messages sent and received
- The number of double messages for each conversant: defined as two successive messages sent by the same person between 3 minutes and 8 hours of the last message sent
- The number of times each conversant started a conversation: defined by who sends the first message at least 8 hours after the last message was sent/received- **Graphs and charts**
+ **Line graph** of messages with that person since your first message
- Allows for zooming in on specific date ranges
- Data can be changed to show
+ Messages with that person compared to all other messages sent during that time period
+ Your sent vs received messages with that person over time
+ Your sent vs received words with that person over time
+ **Pie Chart**
- Sent messages vs received messages with person
- Sent words vs received words with that person
- Total messages with person vs all other messages in inbox
+ **Bar Chart**
- Sent vs received messages per hour of day --> When y'all talk the most
- Sent vs received words per hour of day --> When y'all talk the most
- Percentage of total messages with person per hour of day vs percentage of all other messages with other people per hour of day --> When y'all talk the most in comparison to when you mainly talk to everyone else---
#### Features in implementation:
- Statistics on actual messaging habits
+ Average reply time over the course of a day
- Autoreply based on replies to certain messages --> Machine Learning---
