A calmer SMS inbox

ZenSMS is built for people who still depend on SMS, but want an inbox that sorts itself instead of one long noisy feed.

Spam filtering

A 9-signal filter helps catch unwanted texts before they take over your inbox.

Organized folders

Keep personal messages, transactions, updates, promotions, verification codes, and spam separated.

Message import

Switch without starting over. ZenSMS can import your existing SMS history locally on your device.

Send delay

Add a short delay before messages send, giving you time to cancel a mistake.

Delivery status

See sent, delivered, and failed states when your carrier provides delivery reports.

No trackers

No ad SDKs, no analytics SDKs, no account, and no cloud copy of your messages.

Privacy proof, not just privacy copy

ZenSMS keeps messages local, does not require an account, and ships without advertising or analytics SDKs. Independent public reports help verify the tracker claim.

Exodus Privacy

0 trackers reported

Exodus Privacy's public ZenSMS report currently lists 0 tracker signatures. The public report may trail the newest Play build, so the version number can lag the live rollout.

Local-first

No cloud message copy
