Parcel - Pickup code vs SMS Filter
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Parcel - Pickup code
This is a free, open-source, ad-free, offline app that prioritizes simplicity and does not collect any personal information. This app automatically parses received SMS messages and extracts the address and pickup code information, which can be displayed on a desktop card (dark mode supported). You can add custom rules to improve the parsing effect. Supports Taobao and Pinduoduo ID codes. It also supports listening to third-party app notifications and automatically saving pickup code messages, making it more convenient for WeChat friends to pick up their packages. Enabling notification listening permissions also allows for background process persistence and real-time updates to the desktop card. Adding a desktop card: Generally hidden in the "All Cards" section at the bottom, under "Plugins" or "Android Widgets". Welcome to download and use! Please submit an issue for any problems or suggestions.
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.
