About SMS Messages & Launcher
Two apps in one: a clean, fast SMS messages app, and a home screen launcher that lives one
swipe away.
Swipe right for your messages. Swipe left for your tools. Your home screen sits in the
middle, exactly where you left it.
MESSAGES THAT SORT THEMSELVES
Your inbox is not one pile. Messages are separated as they arrive:
• Personal — real conversations with real people
• Money — bank alerts, payment receipts and transfers in one list
• OTP — every verification code, with a Copy button right on the card
• Spam — prize draws and loan offers, filed away instead of buzzing your phone
No setup, no rules to write. It happens on your phone as the message lands.
ONE-TAP VERIFICATION CODES
The app finds the code inside the message and puts a Copy button next to it. No opening the
message, no selecting the digits, no switching back and forth while the code expires.
A HOME SCREEN LAUNCHER, BUILT IN
The launcher can replace your home screen entirely:
• A clean app grid with folders, pages and a dock
• Swipe up for the app drawer, with an A–Z index and instant search
• Home screen widgets from any app you have installed
• Choose your grid size, icon size and whether labels show
• Search your apps, or search the web, straight from the home screen
• Your own wallpaper, untouched
Do not want a launcher? Turn it off in Settings and it is simply a messages app.
TOOLS WITHOUT PERMISSIONS
Swipe the other way for everyday tools that need no permissions at all — a clock,
calculator, stopwatch, timer, notes, clipboard, unit converter and a QR code generator.
BUILT TO BE PRIVATE
• Your messages are read on your phone and stay on your phone
• No contact list is uploaded anywhere
• No message content is sent to any server
• Sorting runs on the device — not in the cloud
• No accessibility service, no usage access, no always-running background service
The app asks for the SMS permissions Android requires of any default messaging app, and
nothing beyond what it needs to work.
EVERYTHING ELSE
• Search every conversation as you type
• Select many conversations at once to archive, block or delete
• Schedule a message to send later
• Pin the conversations you care about
• Archive without deleting
• Block numbers you never want to hear from
• Back up and restore your messages to a file you control
• Light and dark themes, or follow your system setting
• Smart reply suggestions right above the keyboard
FAST, AND SMALL
Built to draw instantly after you press the home button. No splash screen standing between
you and your phone, no bloat, no account to create, no sign-in.
Use it as your default SMS app, as your home screen launcher, or both. Install it, try it,
and turn off whichever half you do not want.
