Textwright 0.2.1

First release-signed build of Textwright, an Android SMS app that lets you edit the text and timestamp of the messages stored on your own phone.

What's new since 0.2.0

• Signed with the Silifton release key. Future releases will install over this one and keep your data.
• No longer a debuggable build.
• The "Edited" marker now appears when you tap a message, next to its time.

Highlights

• Edit messages: change a stored message's text, date and time, and restore the original at any time.
• App lock: fingerprint, a pattern, or either one, asked for every time the app is opened.
• Search: find conversations by name, number or any message text, with filters for unread, known and unknown senders.
• Settings: light, dark or system theme, wallpaper colours, notification privacy and screenshot blocking.
• Dual-SIM: choose the SIM to send from.

Install

1. Download Textwright-0.2.1.apk below and open it on an Android 8.0+ phone (allow installs from your browser or file manager when asked).
2. Open Textwright and tap Set as default SMS app.

Upgrading from 0.2.0: that build was signed with a debug key, so this one will not install over it. Uninstall 0.2.0 first. Uninstalling removes Textwright's saved originals of edited messages and its app lock; your messages themselves stay in the phone's SMS store.

Good to know

• Edits change the copy on your phone only. Back up messages you care about before relying on it.
• MMS, RCS and group messaging are not supported yet.
