Apple provides APIs that let you send/receive messages.

The only limitation afaik is that you can’t send attachments.

Intel unison currently does this (although it’s pretty shit and never syncs properly)

It takes a few hours for me after I place an order. But it eventually shows up.

Parcel. Cheap yearly subscription (like $3 per year if I recall), and you get an all in one parcel tracking app.

It supports pretty much every shipping company imaginable.

It even has Amazon integration and auto adds all your Amazon packages.

It uses platform native UI. Instead of whatever that shit Reddit threw together.

It’s also got a much better text editor for adding formatting to comments.

It’s also much faster.

The only thing the official app does better is they have a few exclusive features that developers don’t have access to.

Like the instant messaging, Sign in with Apple, etc…

But it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

When you open a link through google, it loads the page through their servers.

It’s supposed to speed up the experience, but what it actually does is fill the page with google ads, and google tracking.

Amplosion prevents safari from opening the google served page and instead opens the original.
