A live iMessage and WhatsApp simulator that makes your phone look busy. Real bubbles, typing indicators, tapbacks, read receipts, and the actual sounds. Turn on Auto mode and texts come in on their own.
Waiting at a bar and want your phone going off? Want to look busy at the office? That's what this is for. Not a fake screenshot generator. It runs live, while people are watching. Also works as a film prop, skit tool, UI demo, or notification sound tester.
