Read the full description
TextDocket turns iMessage and SMS conversations already synced to your Mac into organized PDFs. Each message shows its sender and timestamp; exports include page and Bates numbers, a CSV index, attachment copies, and SHA-256 fingerprints. Processing stays on your Mac. Free to try with a watermarked 50-message preview; $14.99 one-time purchase unlocks full export. It does not recover deleted messages or extract directly from an iPhone backup.
