About this project
SmsForwarder (SMS Forwarder) is an open-source tool designed for Android backup phone scenarios. Its main function is to monitor SMS messages, incoming calls, and app notifications on the phone, and forward them to other devices or platforms according to user-defined rules. Supported forwarding channels include DingTalk group custom bots, DingTalk enterprise internal bots, WeCom group bots, WeCom app messages, Feishu group bots, Feishu enterprise apps, email, Bark, Webhook, Telegram bots, ServerChan, PushPlus, and phone SMS, among others.
Starting from V3.0, the project added active control server and client capabilities. Users can remotely send SMS messages, query SMS messages, query call logs, query contacts, and query battery level, making it suitable for using a backup phone as a remotely manageable device. V3.3 introduced automatic tasks and shortcut commands to help users achieve a certain degree of automation.
The current version of the project supports Android 4.4 to 13.0, and provides multiple download methods including GitHub Releases, Gitee mirrors, and cloud drives, along with usage documentation on GitHub Wiki and Gitee Wiki. The developer states that the app does not collect user privacy data. It only sends version information to Umeng statistics at startup and sends the version number when manually checking for updates.
The project is primarily intended for learning, testing, and personal use scenarios, and the code is released under the BSD license. Users can submit issues or suggestions through GitHub Issues, or join the Telegram discussion group for help. It should be noted that the project explicitly prohibits using the code or APK for commercial purposes, and reminds users to stay away from online scams such as order-brushing rebate schemes.
