In plain English

SmsForwarder is an Android app that monitors incoming SMS messages, phone calls, and app notifications on a phone and automatically forwards them to other destinations based on rules you configure. For example, if you have a secondary SIM card phone sitting unattended, you can have its text messages and missed-call alerts forwarded to your main phone or to a messaging service so you never miss anything. The app supports a wide range of forwarding destinations including DingTalk (a Chinese workplace messaging platform), WeChat group robots, Feishu (Lark), email, Bark (an iOS push notification tool), Telegram bots, webhook URLs, Server Chan, PushPlus, and SMS to another phone number. It also includes a server-and-client control mode that lets you remotely send SMS messages, check received messages, view call logs, look up contacts, and check battery level from afar. Version 3.0 added this remote control capability, and version 3.3 added automation tasks and quick commands. This is useful for people who run a business phone on a spare Android device, developers who need SMS verification codes forwarded to their computer, or anyone who manages multiple SIM cards. The app is written in Kotlin and targets Android 4.4 through 13.0.
