Desktop Text Message Platform

DroidMessage is a program born out of the desire for an open source android equivalent of Apple's iMessage desktop compatibility.

This program lets you read, send, and manage your text messages and multimedia content from your desktop without interacting with your phone.

DroidMessage consists of two parts; the desktop application and the Android application. Instructions for installing and setting up the programs can be found below.

Principles

  • All private information sent over the wire encrypted
  • All user interfaces follow Google's Material Design
  • User-friendly and secure

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Java 8
  • Android Phone 5+

For now
