Does anyone know of an open-source alternative to Google’s “Messages” app, which takes care of SMS/text messages on my phone?

I was looking for open-source alternatives on PlayStore and F-Droid but can’t really find anything – most apps seem to target some extra purpose than simply handling SMSs.

(Edit: I’d like to stay away from the “Simple Mobile Tools” line because I don’t know if it’s open source, and I don’t like the way they promoted some apps – forcing users to update to pro and similar.)

Cheers!

    QKSMS all the way, you can schedule messages, block, archive, create back up, change colors. No ads.

      PSA: QKsms has been crashing for me a lot on CalyxOS. Crashes when I try to change group chat title or when trying to unschedule a message (terrifying). Installing the previous version fixed it for me.
