What's new v0.20.0
A big release: six reported issues fixed, delayed sending, message details, and a smaller, leaner APK. Thank you to everyone who filed an issue - @RudzLong, @paras03, @leoossa, @xmha97 and @Zokii0 all appear below.

About Clear SMS
Clear SMS is an open-source, privacy-first SMS app that automatically organizes your inbox – completely offline, on your device.
Smart inbox
- Messages are automatically sorted into Important, Promotional, Personal, OTP and Unknown using a transparent, regex-based rules engine – no ML black box, every rule is human-readable JSON you can inspect and edit.
- 390+ community-maintained rules plus a 715k sender-ID directory.
- Full-text search with category and time filters, heuristic scam-awareness flagging.
Finance dashboard
- Debit/credit transactions are extracted from bank SMS into accounts, credit cards and spend summaries with hand-rolled charts.
- Balance tracking with an optional biometric balance lock.
Bills and alerts
- Upcoming bills, autopay, insurance and credit-card due dates in one Alerts view.
- Train and flight journeys, package deliveries with courier and tracking id.
Messaging
- Full SMS send and receive (default-SMS-app role), MMS send and receive with on-device image compression.
- Dual-SIM support, message scheduling, drafts, delivery reports, pinned conversations.
- Recycle bin with 30-day retention, undo for delete and archive, blocked senders and keywords.
OTP handling
- Big, copyable OTP notifications, optional auto-copy and configurable auto-delete.
Private by design
- No INTERNET permission – no servers, no telemetry, no analytics, no trackers.
- No Firebase, no Play Services – pure AOSP compatible.
- Local backup and restore for messages and settings; your data never leaves your device.
- The only network activity is the Android system’s own MMS transaction with your carrier – inherent to how MMS works.
Material You – dynamic color on Android 12+, light/dark/system themes.
