wacli is a command-line tool for WhatsApp that syncs your message history locally, lets you search chats fast offline, send texts/files, and manage contacts/groups. Install easily via `brew install steipete/tap/wacli` or build with Go, then auth with a QR code, sync with `wacli sync --follow`, search via `wacli messages search "keyword"`, and send like `wacli send text --to number --message "hi"`. It benefits you by enabling quick offline access to full chat history, easy media downloads, and efficient terminal-based messaging without opening the app.

Open Source Watomatic Android app sends automatic WhatsApp replies.
Regular WhatsApp accounts don't come with options to send automatic replies, e.g. to inform users who contact you that you are on Holiday or decided to migrate away from WhatsApp because of the recent privacy controversy surrounding the app and service. WhatsApp accounts will be limited and eventually deleted if users don't agree to the new privacy policy.
Users who don't agree may migrate to another chat service, Telegram, for example, introduced options to import WhatsApp chats recently.
