Organized inbox
Separate personal messages, transactions, updates, promotions, verification codes, groups, and spam.
SMS organizer for Android
Organize text messages into folders
ZenSMS is built for people who still depend on SMS but do not want one long noisy inbox. It organizes text messages into folders, blocks spam texts, imports existing SMS, and keeps your inbox local to your Android device.
SMS folders for the messages you actually need
ZenSMS separates conversations so important messages are easier to scan. System folders organize personal messages, transactions, updates, promotions, groups, verification codes, and spam without needing a cloud account.
- Use system folders for automatic organization.
- Create custom folders and folder rules with ZenSMS Premium.
- Move a conversation manually by long-pressing it and choosing Move to Folder.
- Import existing SMS history locally after setting ZenSMS as your default SMS app.
Spam blocking without cloud scanning
ZenSMS uses a 9-signal spam filter to help keep unwanted texts out of your main inbox. The privacy model is local-first: no ZenSMS account, no cloud copy of your messages, and no advertising or analytics SDKs.

Read the guideWhat ZenSMS does and does not replace
ZenSMS is an SMS/MMS app. It can send and receive standard carrier SMS and MMS when it is your default SMS app. It cannot receive RCS messages because no third-party SMS app can receive RCS. If messages from some contacts disappear after switching, deregister RCS so those contacts fall back to SMS/MMS.
For help with missing messages, MMS downloads, folders, backups, and antivirus false positives, read the ZenSMS FAQ.
Privacy signals you can check
ZenSMS is built around local-first messaging. The privacy policy, public tracker report, and security scan notes are linked openly so users can inspect the claims instead of relying only on app-store copy.
