Klaxon vs SMS Filter
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Klaxon
Klaxon is a tool designed for on-call personnel, that repeatedly notifies the user (by means of a ringtone, vibration or both) when a page is received until the user looks at it. A page to Klaxon is an SMS message, optionally meeting filtering criteria set by the user.
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.
