## What is Text SMS Forwarder?

Text SMS Forwarder helps you organize and forward important text messages using rules that run on your device.

Create rules by sender, keywords, and message content. Preview and test each rule before using it, choose one or more forwarding numbers, and review prepared messages and delivery history from a clear control center.

Key features:
• Smart, quick, and advanced rule builders
• Sender and keyword matching
• Optional message cleanup and text replacement
• Apple Shortcuts integration for incoming-message automation
• Review and send prepared forwards
• Local message history and status tracking
• Contact selection with optional Contacts access
• Light and dark appearance

Privacy first:
Messages, rules, contacts, and activity are processed and stored on your device. The app does not upload your SMS content to a server.

Setup requires Apple’s Shortcuts app. Follow the in-app guide to install the included shortcut and connect a personal Message automation. SMS forwarding availability depends on iOS, carrier support, and device settings.
