About this app

Pigeon brings real iMessage to your Android phone: actual blue bubbles, sent and received through your own Mac.

Text the people in your life the way they already text you, with blue bubbles, reactions, threaded replies, and read receipts, all native. When a friend reacts to your message or replies to a specific one, you see it exactly as they meant it. And you can start a real FaceTime call right from your Android phone. Your camera and mic go into the call, and the other side shows on your screen.

Real iMessage blue bubbles, sent and received on Android
Reactions, threaded replies, and read receipts
Photos, group chats, pinned conversations, and contact photos
FaceTime calls to and from your Android phone
End-to-end encrypted between your Mac and your phone
How it works: Pigeon runs on a Mac you already have at home, the only device Apple lets speak real iMessage. It bridges that to your Android phone over an encrypted connection, so your messages stay yours. The relay that links the two only passes along encrypted data it cannot read, and your conversations live on your own Mac, never in our cloud.

Pigeon never touches your Apple ID or password. Your Mac does the talking to Apple, exactly the way Apple built it to.

Free to message. Pigeon Pro unlocks FaceTime calling, sending photos, and removing the one-time "Sent with Pigeon" line.
