alt Hacker NewsWasn't there another iMessage clone for Linux/Android a few years back and they got a C&D from Apple? Or maybe Apple just blocked their service?

There’s bluebubbles which runs a server on a Mac and syncs your messages that way.

As a general rule, Apple will shut down an operator of such service once it gets used to pump out spam.
Of course, every spammer dreams of their spam texts coming through as a blue bubble.

This is very different from Beeper or BlueBubbles.
Tether is "merely" talking to your iPhone over bluetooth and the local network. It does nothing if you don't already have an iPhone. Apple should have no more reason to come after this than it does a Garmin watch that can show your iMessages via bluetooth.
