This app is great!, I was looking for something like that forever , but when I receive an sms on my MacBook it is not filtered, Only on my iPhone the filters work, can you support installing the app on a MacBook as well?
Developer Response
I looked into it and I’m afraid Apple does not expose the required APIs for filtering messages on macOS.
Amazing tool!

Simple and intuitive, friendly UI, takes a minute to set up, and packed with functionality. Works like a charm. Most importantly, it’s private and secure (open source). Highly recommended!
Using it for a few years now, it’s great!
