SmsForwarder is an Android application that monitors SMS messages, incoming calls, and app notifications on a phone and forwards them to other devices according to user-defined rules.
The tool solves the problem of staying informed about important messages across multiple devices by intercepting Android system events and routing them to external services. It monitors SMS, calls, and notifications, then forwards these to a wide range of destinations including DingTalk, WeChat Work, Feishu, email, Bark, Telegram, webhook endpoints, and other messaging platforms. The application also provides bidirectional control, allowing users to remotely send SMS messages, check message history, view call logs, access contacts, and monitor battery levels from a server interface.
The project suits users who need a backup phone to remain functional and informed, or anyone managing multiple devices who wants centralized notification handling. It works across Android versions from 4.4 through 13.0. The tool is explicitly positioned as a learning project and personal utility rather than production software, with the README emphasizing it is free and open source, intended for testing and research purposes only.
Issue tracker activity is dominated by bug reports, indicating the project maintains focus on stability and fixing reported problems rather than pursuing new feature development.
