Full description

Shiro is a modern, private replacement for your SMS app. It sorts your texts for you. OTPs, bills, payments, promotions, and spam each go where they belong, right when they arrive. And it all happens on your phone. WHY SHIRO • Private by design. Shiro has no internet permission. Your messages never leave your phone. There is no cloud, no server, no account, and nothing to sign up for. • No ads. No tracking. No third-party code. Ever. • Sorting on your phone. Shiro sorts your texts with fast, simple rules. There is no model to download and no data to send. WHAT YOU GET • A sorted inbox. Shiro files OTPs, payments, bills, promotions, and spam the moment they arrive. • One-tap codes. OTPs show up right away. An optional bubble lets you copy a code without leaving the app you are in. • Fast search. Find any message in seconds by sender, word, or type. • Bills in one place. See what is due, add a reminder to your calendar, or open your payment app to pay. • Auto-forwarding. Set a rule once, and Shiro forwards matching texts as SMS to a number you pick. It forwards nothing unless you set it up. • Quick clean-up. Clear promos and clutter in a few taps. • A calm, clear design that makes your inbox easy to open. Shiro works as your default SMS app. You send, receive, and reply to SMS and MMS as you always have, only tidier. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Shiro reads your messages and contacts on your phone and only runs the features above. It cannot send them anywhere because it has no way to reach the internet. Read our privacy policy for the details. Give your messages a home. Try Shiro.
