DeskSMS Is Now A Full-Featured SMS Forwarding App, With Direct Web Access And Chrome/Firefox Extensions

Posted by in Applications, News

A couple of weeks ago, we told you about DeskSMS (then called DesktopSMS), the new app from the creator of ClockworkMod Recovery that forwards your SMS messages to GMail or GTalk and allows you reply from anywhere. The app has been under heavy construction since then, and a boatload of new features have been added, including direct web access, as well as Chrome and Firefox extensions.

Setup is quite easy, too. Once you install the app and grant it the required permissions, all you need to do is tell it to sync your SMS messages, choose the desired notifications (GTalk or GMail), and that's it.

From Koush, The Maker Of ClockworkMod Recovery, Comes DeskSMS, A Gtalk/Gmail<->SMS Forwarding App

Update 8/1/11: DesktopSMS is now just DeskSMS.

There are quite a few "remote SMS" apps on the Market, but none quite like ClockworkMod's DesktopSMS. Instead of the usually browser plugin, or dedicated web interface front end, DesktopSMS takes a versatile and familiar approach: Gmail. The app will intercept your incoming SMS messages and forward them to either Gmail, Gtalk, or both, so you can reply from your computer or tablet. Once the sent message hits the receiving end, it looks as if it came directly from your phone, so there's no confusion.
