signal-cli is a command-line interface for the Signal messaging service, providing both a CLI and a D-Bus interface. It enables users to send and receive messages, manage contacts, and handle groups programmatically. This tool is ideal for integrating Signal functionality into scripts and automation workflows.
Key Features:
  • Send and receive text messages and attachments via CLI
  • Provides a D-Bus interface for integration with other services
  • Supports multi-device registration and management
  • Can be used in scripts for automated messaging tasks
