About

MySMSBlocker

Features
Read full description

MySMSBlocker is a simple app to mark messages as junk if they match various filters. Unlike other apps, this app does NOT send your data to a server for analysis; everything is local. When a message comes in, iOS passes the message to MySMSBlocker and MySMSBlocker goes through your filter list to see if the message should be marked as Junk or not. If there are no matches, it is simply listed as from an Unknown Sender. Filters are synced via iCloud. The source for the app is freely available at https://github.com/sgruby/mysmsblocker. Notes: • This only filters SMS and not iMessages. • If a sender is in your contacts, the filtering is not used. • There is no equivalent app on the Mac, so it is recommended that you turn off notifications for Messages on your Mac if you sync your Messages across devices.

SpamLess: AI-Powered Spam Text Filter for Unknown Senders Tired of spam texts cluttering your phone? SpamLess uses on-device AI to filter out unwanted messages from unknown numbers—so your inbox stays clean and your data stays private. Smart Spam Detection SpamLess uses a private, on-device AI model to analyze messages only from unknown green bubble numbers (SMS & RCS). If a message looks like spam, it’s automatically filtered into your Junk folder—where you can review it anytime. Privacy First. Always. • No accounts. No tracking. No stored messages. • We never send your messages to the cloud. • Messages are never used for AI training or analytics. • We don’t touch iMessages—they’re end-to-end encrypted and remain untouched. Never Deletes. Just Filters. Filtered messages are never deleted—just hidden in your Messages app for easy access if you need them. Simple Analytics for Better UX We collect anonymous onboarding stats only (like how many users completed setup). No personal data. No message content. Ever. Works Natively with iPhone SpamLess integrates seamlessly with your phone’s built-in message filtering system—no complicated setup or clunky UI.
