Do you need an always-on macbook working as an imessage server to use it, or does it just work out the box?

No need for an always on Mac with Beeper. I was previously using Airmessage and then Bluebubbles in this manner on an old Mac Mini. Have been on Beeper for a couple of months now. They use their own Macs as servers.

Good to know, thanks!

They have a bunch of Macs acting like iMessage servers that you connect to.
