Parcel - Pickup code vs SMS Filter
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Parcel - Pickup code
This is a free, open-source, ad-free, offline app that prioritizes simplicity and does not collect any personal information. This app automatically parses received SMS messages and extracts the address and pickup code information, which can be displayed on a desktop card (dark mode supported). You can add custom rules to improve the parsing effect. ✅ Supports Taobao and Pinduoduo identity codes. 🔔 Supports monitoring third-party app notifications to automatically save pickup codes—making it much easier to help friends on WeChat pick up their packages. ⚡ Enabling notification access also helps keep the background process alive for real-time widget updates. 🏷️ Supports address categorization; group multiple addresses under one label for easier viewing. 👴 Supports Senior Mode with large fonts for better accessibility. 📱 Adding Home Screen Widgets: Usually found in the "All Widgets" section—look for "Plugins" or "Android Widgets" at the bottom. Welcome to download and use! Please raise an issue if you have any questions or suggestions.
SMS Filter
SMS Filter can filter incoming SMS messages before they reach your inbox. You can filter by address, and optionally add parts that must occur in the message for it to be blocked. By default, SMS Filter will not delete incoming messages. You will get a silent status bar notification when SMS Filter has filtered an incoming message, which you can view by opening the notification or by opening the application. You can also tell SMS Filter to delete incoming messages, in which case it will happily do so for you. To do this, just turn off the 'Save messages' preference.
