This is a safe, efficient and professional SMS filter. You can customize your own filters to help you filter spam and MMS messages from unknown phone numbers. What it does: Automatically classify your messages, filter junk messages, let you avoid being disturbed by spam during work, rest or when you are on your phone(such as gaming or reading). Privacy matters: All verification activities occur in a closed and secured process provided by iOS, without the need to connect to the network throughout, and SMS Filter+ will not read, collect or tag your messages. Customize your filters: Filter your messages like a pro, support check phone numbers, text, containing multiple keywords, start/end with keywords, match with Regular Expression and other advanced features. How it works: When a message comes, SMS Filter+ will always go through your Allow, Transaction and Promotion filters. Once there is any filter made a match, messages automatically classified into the corresponding folder. If those filters can not make a match, then SMS Filter+ will go through your Junk filters, message will be filtered if it matched as spam. Notifications & Badge If a message classified as Allow, Transaction and Promotion, you will still get notifications and unread badge on the Message app icon, if a message filtered as spam, you won’t get any notifications and there is no unread badge.

Morse Relay allows you to: - Send out morse code over your device's torch - Record it by pointing your camera at another device that is emitting a morse message. Currently, it only supports encoding and decoding from app to app. The algorithms do not support human message fully yet. For device without torch, the signal is emitted in a blinking box on the screen. For suggestions or collaborations, contact @nidegen
