discontinued The registry marked Texts discontinued on 2026-09-01: its check failed three consecutive times. Last successful sync: 2026-08-20.
Texts is a messaging application that consolidates various messaging platforms into a single inbox. It supports platforms like iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messenger, Instagram, LinkedIn, Slack, and Discord DMs. Texts prioritizes privacy by ensuring messages are encrypted and sent directly to the messaging platforms without touching Texts' servers. It offers features like AI-assisted summaries, draft responses, translation, advanced search, archiving, stealth mode, scheduled sending, snoozing, keyboard shortcuts, and customizable UI.
Live alternatives
No active same-category alternatives in the registry yet. The tools index carries everything else that is live.
How this was decided
Not an editorial call. Texts's check failed three syncs in a
row, and the 3-miss rule marks it
discontinued automatically. If the vendor page comes back, the
registry restores it on its own: warn first, then
active. Both directions are recorded as events.
