    SmsForwarder

    SmsForwarder

    Monitors Android mobile phone text messages, calls, and notifications

    SmsForwarder is an Android application designed to monitor incoming communications such as SMS messages, phone calls, and app notifications, and then automatically forward them to configured destinations based on user-defined rules, making it ideal for remote monitoring, backup, or automation scenarios. Users can set custom logic so that certain messages or notifications trigger forwarding to group chat bots (like DingTalk or enterprise WeChat), webhook endpoints, email, push services (PushPlus, Bark), Telegram bots, and other channels, allowing flexible integration with communication workflows. In addition to basic forwarding, the app’s rule-based engine can filter messages, enabling selective forwarding based on content, sender, or event type, and it can even push details like call logs or device battery status. The tool’s functionality extends to remote control features, which allow a paired server or client to query messages, calls, contacts, and more.

    MobileIMSDK

    MobileIMSDK

    The original full-platform IM communication layer framework

    MobileIMSDK is a lightweight cross-platform instant messaging communication framework designed for real-time chat and push-style communication. It supports multiple client platforms, including iOS, Android, Java, HTML5, mini programs, UniApp, and HarmonyOS Next, with a Netty-based server side. The framework is notable for supporting UDP, TCP, and WebSocket protocols in the same open-source IM communication layer. It has been developed and refined over many years, making it a mature option for teams building custom messaging systems. MobileIMSDK focuses on the communication layer rather than a complete consumer chat app, so developers can build their own user interface and business logic on top of it. It is useful for mobile apps, web apps, enterprise messaging, live communication features, and custom push systems.

    Signal Server

    Signal Server

    Server supporting the Signal Private Messenger applications on Android

    Signal Server is the official backend server component that supports the Signal Private Messenger ecosystem on Android, iOS, and desktop platforms, serving as the trusted message relay, contact discovery, and push notification hub while the clients handle end-to-end encryption. Built in Java and licensed under the AGPL-3.0 license, this server software handles protocols for delivering encrypted messages, synchronizing user metadata like public keys and push tokens, and providing REST and service APIs for the client apps to interact with. Although cryptographic operations and message confidentiality are managed by the client side using the Signal Protocol, the server ensures message routing, user registration, and group updates without having access to the decrypted contents. Its codebase is public to ensure transparency and auditability for a security-focused community willing to inspect how message metadata and delivery mechanisms are implemented.

    libsignal

    libsignal

    Home to the Signal Protocol and other cryptographic primitives

    libsignal is the foundational cryptographic library that implements the Signal Protocol and other essential primitives used across the official Signal clients and servers, enabling secure end-to-end encrypted communication. Written primarily in Rust with bindings and APIs surfaced for Java, Swift, and TypeScript, this library encapsulates critical algorithms like the Double Ratchet, prekey mechanisms, secure key storage, and zero-knowledge group primitives, along with additional utilities for media handling and device key transfer. libsignal abstracts complex cryptographic constructions into reusable components that client applications can adopt to ensure forward secrecy, authentication, and integrity without re-implementing core security logic. Although its primary use is within the Signal ecosystem, its documentation and exposed interfaces allow developers to explore modern secure messaging primitives or use pieces of the protocol in experimental applications.
