SMS Forwarder: Sync & Automate

Forward your SMS to email, Telegram, another phone, Slack, Discord, Teams, a webhook or a push notification — automatically, the moment they arrive.

SMS Forwarder keeps your text messages in sync across your own devices. Leave your SIM in one phone and still get every bank code, delivery notice and verification code (OTP) on the phone, laptop or chat you are actually using.

FORWARD SMS TO…
• Email — any inbox, through your own mail (SMTP) account
• Telegram — a chat with your own bot
• Another phone number — as a normal SMS
• Slack, Discord or Microsoft Teams
• A webhook — standard JSON or form fields, or your own custom request body
• Push notifications — an ntfy topic, on any device

WHY PEOPLE USE IT
• Get SMS verification codes (OTP / 2FA) on your computer or second phone
• Two phones or two SIMs: read work and personal texts in one place
• Travelling: keep your home SIM in a spare phone and still receive its messages
• Send SMS alerts from a device or service into your own tools with a webhook

YOU DECIDE WHAT IS FORWARDED
• Rules by sender, keyword, SIM or time of day (for example, only bank codes, only at night)
• Every rule is described in plain words, and you can try it on an example message before you rely on it
• Templates control exactly how a forwarded message reads: {sender}, {message}, {time}, {sim}…

REPLY FROM ANYWHERE
Reply in Telegram and the app sends your answer as an SMS from this phone, to the original sender, on the same SIM. Replies are off until you turn them on, only senders you allow can trigger one, they are rate-limited, and you can require a confirmation word or PIN.

BUILT TO BE RELIABLE
• Messages are queued and retried automatically
• Full delivery history, showing exactly what was sent, with manual retry
• A built-in health check warns you if forwarding stops, instead of failing silently
• Optional “still alive” heartbeat, so you notice even if the phone itself dies

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no servers of ours
• Your messages go only to the destinations you set up
• Passwords and tokens are stored encrypted on your device
• Unencrypted destinations are refused unless you explicitly allow one

OPTIONAL: OTHER MESSAGING APPS
Forward the notification text of apps you choose, including RCS chats from Google Messages. Off by default and needs your explicit consent; while it is on, a permanent notification says so, with a Pause button.

SAFETY
If someone else asked you to install this app, be careful — it may be part of a scam. Never forward your messages to people you do not know. Use this app only for your own messages.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Forwards only messages received on this device, from the moment you switch a rule on. It never forwards your old messages.
• RCS chats are not SMS and can only be forwarded from their notification, which may be shortened. Turning RCS off in your messaging app makes them arrive as SMS and forward in full.
• Messages from other apps are read from notifications only; hidden previews and bundled or very long messages can be incomplete.
• Teams is send-only. Replies from Slack and Discord are planned.
• Some phones need battery optimisation switched off for prompt delivery; the app guides you.
• Forwarding to a phone number and SMS replies use your carrier plan and are billed as normal texts.
