What you get

Keep your important conversations as files you can review, print, and share.

TextPort gives you copies of your SMS and iMessage conversations without having to collect screenshots or copy messages individually. You can work with messages from iPhone backups or your Mac’s Messages data, search for the conversations you need, and export long exchanges for later reference. That helps when you want to preserve family messages, keep client communication records, or prepare documentation for a legal matter.

You can choose the format that fits your next step: a readable PDF for printing or sharing, a CSV for analysis in a spreadsheet, or plain text for a long-term archive. You review and export the records from your Mac, giving you a way to keep important conversations outside the Messages app.
