SMSFence

SMSFence is an Android SMS app for reading, sending and filtering text messages with your own keywords. Choose it as your default SMS app to manage conversations and filter new messages.

CHOOSE YOUR KEYWORDS
Add a word or phrase. Matching ignores case and Turkish I/İ/ı/i differences. Rules match anywhere in a message: “free” also matches “freespin”. Try a rule in the test area without sending or deleting a real SMS.

SILENT ARCHIVE OR DIRECT DELETION
Filtering starts off. When you enable it, choose what happens to matching new messages:
• Silently archive: keep the message in the app's private archive without a notification, until you delete it.
• Delete without archiving: permanently delete it without keeping a recoverable copy.
Important messages may also match. Direct deletion requires a separate confirmation. Changing the action does not delete existing messages or archives.

CONTACT PROTECTION AND QUIET HOURS
Optional contacts permission displays saved names. Enable contact protection to exclude saved contacts from automatic filtering. This does not prevent manual deletion. You can also choose a recipient through Android's contact picker when composing.
Set daily quiet hours to receive notifications without sound or vibration during your chosen time window. Messages still arrive. Quiet hours do not delete messages or change your phone's system-wide Do Not Disturb setting.

ORGANIZE YOUR MESSAGES
• View normal and archived messages grouped into conversations in their respective sections.
• Search all messages or one conversation, with matching text highlighted.
• Select messages or conversations for bulk deletion. Review keyword matches before deleting.
• Mark all normal messages as read.
• See message content, reply or mark a message as read from notifications. Lock-screen visibility depends on Android privacy settings.

PROCESSED ON YOUR PHONE
SMSFence has no internet permission, user account, advertising or analytics SDK, or developer server. Your SMS and contacts are not sent to Tirig. Normal SMS remain in Android's message storage; archives and messages waiting to be saved remain in the app's private storage. SMS you send are delivered through your mobile carrier to the recipient; carrier charges may apply.

20 LANGUAGES AND SIMPLE SETUP
Choose one of 20 languages in Settings, or follow your phone's language automatically. Unsupported phone languages use English. Skip the four-screen introduction or reopen it from Settings. New installations start with the light theme; choose light, dark or system theme in Settings.

BEFORE YOU START
Requires Android 8 or later, an SMS-capable device, the default SMS role and necessary permissions. MMS sending/downloading and RCS are not supported. SMSFence does not guarantee fraud detection or provide end-to-end encrypted messaging.
The archive belongs to the app. Uninstalling or clearing app data deletes the local archive; it does not automatically delete SMS in Android's message storage.
