SMS Forwarder
Text, OTP & 2FA — forwarded where you actually look
Your OTPs, 2FA codes, and alerts shouldn't be trapped on one screen. SMS Forwarder relays every incoming text to the places you actually check — automatically, privately, and without draining your battery.

In-app onboarding walks you through Apple Shortcuts setup, step by step — no technical knowledge needed.

-
Send a test, then relax
The built-in test flow verifies your setup end to end. From then on, forwarding runs by itself.
Privacy-first by design
SMS Forwarder never stores your message content. Forwarded data is wrapped in end-to-end RSA-OAEP-SHA256 encryption on the way to its destination, and the automation runs on Apple's own Shortcuts framework — no background services, no shady permissions. Details in the privacy policy.

Questions
Frequently asked
How does SMS Forwarder work?
It is a native iOS automation built on Apple's own Shortcuts framework. When a text arrives, the shortcut forwards it to your chosen destinations — no background services, no battery drain, no unusual permissions.
Where can it forward my texts?
To email, Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, and Discord. Forwarding rules let you route by sender or keyword — banking codes to your inbox, family messages to Telegram, client texts to a Slack channel.
Is my message content stored?
No. The app never stores your message content, and forwarded data is protected with end-to-end RSA-OAEP-SHA256 encryption on its way to the destination.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes. Step-by-step onboarding inside the app wires up the shortcut, and a built-in test message verifies the whole path end to end. Set it once and forget it.
