## What it is
MessAuto is a free macOS menu bar application, built in Rust, that automatically extracts SMS and email verification codes from the built-in Messages and Mail apps. It can copy the code to the clipboard, simulate keyboard input to paste it, and optionally press Return, working with any app on the system.

## Use cases
- automatically fill SMS verification codes on mac
- extract 2FA codes from iMessage and Mail
- auto paste one-time passcode from clipboard
- stop manually copying verification codes between iphone and mac
- auto submit OTP code with return key
- detect verification code messages with custom keywords and regex

## When to choose
- you use two-factor authentication via SMS or email on a Mac and want codes filled automatically
- you want a free, open-source alternative that works system-wide with any app
- you prefer configurable trigger keywords, regex patterns, and auto-paste/auto-return behavior

## When to avoid
- you need 2FA code capture on Windows or Linux, since this is macOS-only
- you rely on an authenticator app (TOTP) rather than SMS or email codes
- you are unwilling to grant Full Disk Access and Accessibility permissions
- you use third-party email or messaging clients instead of Apple's built-in Mail and Messages apps
