Peace of Mind+ vs SMS Forward
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Peace of Mind+
We become more conscious of our phones as our lives become increasingly connected. Would you like to disconnect, if only for a moment? Your phone will go silent and disconnect from the world: no e-mail, no status updates, no SMS and no phone calls. Choose how long you wish to disconnect (up to 12 hours). Originally developed by Kwame Corporation for Fairphone 1, Peace of Mind+ aims simply to bring this beautiful app to other devices, and for future Fairphone-owners patiently waiting to receive their phone! App works without root, but from Android 4.2+ root access is needed to switch to flight mode. Without root access the app will switch the phone to silent mode only.
SMS Forward
Transfer texts easily With this app, you an receive your SMS on all your devices. Bypass regional restrictions If a service in country A requires a phone number from country A, but your phone number is from country B. You ask a friend from country A to install this app and you will be able to receive SMS from the service in country B. However, since this is a pretty simple application, it can also serve other purposes. Features: - Can handle multiple redirections - Global activation toggle SMS Forward is free, open source and without ads. Warning: If someone is asking you to install SMS Forward, be careful: this could be a scam.
