Bouncer: SMS Filter for iOS
Welcome to Bouncer, a privacy-focused SMS filtering app for iOS devices. Utilizing the ILMessageFilterExtension, Bouncer organizes unwanted and specific messages into the "Junk", "Promotion", and "Transaction" sections of the Messages app.
Prioritizing Privacy and Security
Unlike other SMS filtering apps, Bouncer does not share, upload, or send any of your personal information or SMS messages to a remote server. All filtering processes occur locally on your phone, ensuring data privacy and security.
Customize Your Messaging Experience
Bouncer checks messages against a user-defined blacklist, providing a personalized and clutter-free messaging experience.
Features

- Categorize filtered messages in iOS 16+ sections (Junk, Transaction, Promotion) and subcategories
- Unlimited filter rules
