Real iMessage + FaceTime on Android

Blue bubbles.
On Android.

How it works

πŸ’»
Pigeon runs on a Mac

Yours, sitting at home β€” it's the only thing Apple lets speak real iMessage.

πŸ”
It bridges to your Android, encrypted

End-to-end encryption between your Mac and your phone. Our relay routes ciphertext it can never read.

πŸ’™
You text blue from Android

Real bubbles, reactions, threaded replies β€” delivered as iMessage, because it is iMessage.

πŸ“Ή
And FaceTime, both directions

Incoming calls ring your Android like a real call; you answer, talk, and hang up from your phone. Calling out is one tap on a contact.

Your messages stay yours.

Pigeon's relay is designed so we cannot read your texts β€” everything is encrypted device-to-device, and only your own Mac holds your messages. No cloud copy of your conversations, ever.

Questions

Do I need a Mac?

Yes β€” for now. Any Mac signed into your Apple ID that stays on at home works. A hosted option is on the roadmap for people without one.

Which phones does it work on?

Any modern Android phone. A Windows desktop app is in the works too.

Is this like those services that got shut down?

No. Pigeon doesn't spoof Apple's servers and never handles your Apple ID β€” your own Mac does the talking, exactly the way Apple built it to.

When do invites go out?

In small batches as the beta hardens. Waitlist order is honored.
