Signal Cli
signal-cli is a command line interface for the Signal messenger protocol. It functions as a headless client that allows users to send and receive messages, manage accounts, and verify phone numbers within a terminal environment instead of a graphical application.
The project provides integration capabilities for external programs through a JSON-RPC server and a D-Bus interface. These allow for automated messaging workflows and the ability to trigger messaging actions from other software services via a background daemon.
The software covers account identity management, including registration and verification via SMS or voice calls, as well as the exchange of text messages and delivery receipts.
