		Ask HN: Personal History from Account Data?
		3 points by DoingSomeThings on Nov 23, 2023 \| hide \| past \| favorite \| 1 comment
		I'm working on a personal project to log what I did each day of the past year. I'm looking for a tool to pick a random date and see "you traveled here, talked to these people, and took these pictures/screenshots." A combination of Google Maps Location History, Photos/screenshots by date, and messages sent. Google Location history is a great start, however iMessage seemingly has no way to search by date. Any thoughts on how to approach this task?

If you have a Mac that syncs your iMessage data, you can search through your messages with any SQLite library. I don’t remember the exact path off the top of my head but it’s probably something like ~/Library/iMessage
