README.md

A cool tool for collecting all your friends' photos from BeReal (including RealMojis) without taking any screenshots, opening the app, annoying analytics and much much more!

Note

This is a fork of notmarek/BeFake, which unfortunately has been cease-and-desisted by BeReal. I (@NicoWeio) maintain this fork for personal use, so I cannot promise that features besides login and friends feed will work. PRs are welcome either way!

Warning

Because this is primarily for personal use, there will be breaking changes without warning. Make sure to pin the version you are using!

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/NicoWeio/BeFake

Usage
