Description

DekuSMS is an open-source SMS app designed to prioritize your privacy and security while using SMS.
With DekuSMS, you can send and receive end-to-end encrypted SMS messages, ensuring that your conversations remain confidential.

DekuSMS also enables users with the option to configure the app to forward their SMS messages to their online servers.
This convenient feature ensures that you can access your messages even when you're away from your device,
providing you with greater flexibility and convenience in managing your conversations.

Advanced users can connect the app to a RabbitMQ server, which transform the mobile device into an
SMS sending Gateway-Client. This runs as a service and utilizes Android's core functionalities for
handling listening and sending of messages.

Key Features:
- End-to-end encryption
- Message forwarding
- Gateway client

DekuSMS is an open-source project, and we believe in the power of community collaboration.
We encourage developers and enthusiasts to explore our codebase on GitHub,
where they can contribute to the app's development and customization.
We greatly appreciate stars, pull requests, forks and issues.
This will greatly help improve the experience for everyone.
