Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

TYO Text is a private, local-first companion for useful text-message workflows. Import a supported SMS backup, browse conversations and search message text or senders. Review explainable on-device spam and scam signals. Find appointment candidates and open a pre-filled Calendar form for review. Create confirmed recipient groups, prepare separate private SMS drafts, export conversations to HTML, and recover supported Telstra or Lycamobile carrier MMS notices. TYO Text does not read your live inbox in companion mode. It does not request SMS, contacts, calendar or shared-storage permissions. Message analysis stays on your device. Risk checks identify signals, not guarantees—always verify unexpected requests through an official channel.
