Is there any way to view only unread messages in Messages.app in macOS? The behavior I'd like is basically the same behavior as a Mail.app smart mailbox showing on unread emails. The volume of texts I get for work makes scrolling down to find unread texts a less-than-ideal solution.

If I'm not mistaken, there's no way to do this directly in Messages.app, so a third-party or other solution would be fine.

So I finally found one way to do this in macOS Monterey 12.6. Right click on the Messages.app icon in the dock, and you'll get a list of all conversations containing unread messages between New Message at the top and the Options section below. Once you click on one of them, it takes you to the conversation and marks it as read.
