I am looking to replace my phones text message client with something better. I am trying to make my phone clean, minimalist and less addicting (degoogling too). I even installed Niagara launcher, to give an idea of the kind of aesthetic I am looking for. Is there anything out there folks reccomend? Bonus points if its ethical and pro-privacy.


Currently I am using “Connect You”. It integrated both messages and contacts, which is nice. Doesn’t have a dialer though, so I use Fossify Phone with the contacts function disabled for that. I find Connect You’s method of showing contacts more aesthetically pleasing than Fossify’s, but that’s just personal preference. Lots of people also like “Quik SMS” (a continuation of “QKSMS” I think)
