SMS Filter vs Text Torch
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
SMS Filter
SMS Filter can filter incoming SMS messages before they reach your inbox. You can filter by address, and optionally add parts that must occur in the message for it to be blocked. By default, SMS Filter will not delete incoming messages. You will get a silent status bar notification when SMS Filter has filtered an incoming message, which you can view by opening the notification or by opening the application. You can also tell SMS Filter to delete incoming messages, in which case it will happily do so for you. To do this, just turn off the 'Save messages' preference.
Text Torch
Text Torch analyzes your SMS and MMS messages and tells you how you compare to each person you message in several ways: • what percent of the time each of you starts conversations with the other • what percent of the texts each of you has sent • how the average length of your texts compares to theirs Sentry is used (opt-in) for analytics and crash reporting. Permissions: • READ_SMS to get SMS and MMS message data • READ_CONTACTS to display contacts' names • INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE for Sentry
