Syphone™

The iPhone/SMS utility

for Macintosh

BETA VERSION

Save, archive and view your iPhone SMS messages on your Mac!

Syphone is a freeware Macintosh utility for use with Apple's iPhone. The program installs on your Macintosh and does not alter the iPhone in any way. This application lets you view, save, and back up your SMS messages. With Syphone you can now archive and view SMS conversations, including those that have been deleted from the iPhone.

The iPhone has a limit on the number of SMS messages it can store at one time. If this limit is exceeded, existing conversations must be deleted in order to make room for new messages. Syphone allows you to view and/or save any of these conversations, including deleted messages. It uses the familiar iChat format to display archived SMS messages. In addition, if you have multiple iPhones synced to your computer, Syphone allows you to view and archive messages from any of the iPhones.

Syphone allows an iPhone user with a Macintosh to:

• View synced iPhone SMS messages on your Macintosh
• Archive SMS messages
• Import/export SMS messages
• View SMS messages offline in an iChat-like interface with selectable colors
• Open Address Book contacts
• View the number of sent and received messages for each contact
• Support multiple iPhones

Ryan DuBois, a Syphone beta tester remarked, "Syphone allows me to archive and display my old text messages in a simple and attractive user interface. Plus, I don't even have to have it open to stay up to date. I'm glad I don't have to worry about losing those old text messages."

Syphone is Micromat’s first iPhone-related product. It is an application that provides additional functionality we desired for our own use. We have provided it as freeware to gauge the appeal of this type of product. If the response is positive, we will consider producing a more full-featured professional version.
