I use Partisan-SMS (PSMS) it's a fork of QKSMS with optional encryption
That compared to Quik?
Quik is huge, 60MB for an SMS app... in my eyes it tries to do too much, like integration of random other protocols.
I used DekuSMS because of that but it doesnt allow texting phone numbers and Exodus shows it has a tracker
Oh wow I hadn't heard of Quik! What other protocols does it integrate? Not much info on their repo.
So is QUIK FOSS? Because I just installed it, I used to use Textra. I like the features of it.
Look at the link
I'm kinda new to this, so I was just wondering.
Yes it is FOSS just like the other recommendations in my other comment.
At 60MB it is pretty bloated for an SMS app though, so I would prefer something simpler like Fossify Contacts, or something with encryption like Deku SMS
Thanks. I understand the bloated part, but personally for me, coming from Textra, it's comparable to what I had, minus the trackers
Haha, okay then... what features do you find so useful?
For example timed messages... I dont use SMS at all XD
If I do, I would prefer DekuSMS as it has AES encryption so at least you are not spied on (if both use DekuSMS)
