Stop Spam Texts - ZenSMS

ZenSMS is an application that helps you organize your text messages in a familiar way. It imports your existing messages and automatically sorts them into folders such as Personal, Transactions, Notifications, Promotions, and Unread. The app does not require an account, store data in the cloud, display ads, or track your activity. Everything stays on your device, ensuring your privacy.

The app also offers effective spam blocking features that use advanced 9-signal analysis instead of basic keyword matching. It can catch spam messages that use tricks like disguising words with Unicode characters. Users can adjust the sensitivity of the spam filter and quickly block categories such as gambling, prize scams, loans, and marketing messages. There is also an option to block all unknown senders with one toggle and whitelist trusted senders. The app also prompts users to confirm before opening unknown links and allows OTPs and trusted verification codes to bypass the spam filter.

ZenSMS also has an inbox that sorts itself, making it easier for users to find important conversations. The Personal folder contains contacts and real conversations, while the Transactions folder is for banks, OTPs, and payments. Notifications include delivery updates, appointments, and reminders, while Promotions are automatically sorted away. There is also a zero-inbox focus mode for unread messages. Premium users can create custom folders, rules, and auto-filing options.

The app supports full SMS and MMS capabilities, allowing users to send and receive photos, small videos, and documents. It also has a camera capture feature, a full-screen slideshow viewer, and the ability to save images directly to the device's gallery. Users can also view all media shared in any conversation and take advantage of dual-SIM support. The app also shows the status of messages and allows for group MMS with sender names displayed.

ZenSMS offers a premium feature called OTP Overlay, which allows for a floating card to detect verification codes and copy them with one tap without leaving the current app. The app also has other useful features such as a send delay, pinch-to-zoom for easier reading, swipe gestures for actions like archiving and muting, and smart sender grouping. Users can also reply from notifications, trash messages with a 30-day recovery option, and search for messages and conversations. The app also has options for pinning, flagging, and setting priority levels for messages.

Premium users can also schedule messages for later delivery, with support for recurring messages. The app also offers features like auto-reply, templates for frequently sent messages, broadcast lists for messaging multiple contacts, and an SMS Only Mode for sending group-style messages as separate SMS instead of MMS. Users can also create custom folders, choose from 15+ themes, and enjoy a privacy-first design. ZenSMS does not store messages on any server and has been verified by Exodus Privacy to have 0 tracking SDKs, no analytics, no ad networks, and no cloud sync. The app only uses SMS/MMS permissions for core messaging features, not for tracking or data collection.

ZenSMS is actively developed by a solo founder and welcomes user feedback. The app can be contacted through email or the website, which also has a focus on original and SEO-oriented content.
