I have messages for the past year on my iPhone and Mac. Is there a way to look at messages on a particular day from a particular person. Utopia would be like a calendar and I'd click on a day and there would be the list of people I texted that day. Clicking on a person would present the messages with time stamps.

Does such an app exist?
 
The Mac Messages app in Sonoma added filtering capability.

You might find more info in the Messages User Guide:

I don't use Messages.app on any Macs, so I can't provide steps.

My search terms that yielded those 2 pages were: mac messages search filters

Another option might be a Spotlight search for a particular person and day, limited to Messages content.

Thank you. The search terms "kind:message" appears to be for mail messages. I can't find what "kind" is for text messaegs (iMessages). The Messages search does not appear to have any knowledge of dates. And so far, trying to use "Spotlight" hasn't worked.
