QUIK is an open-source SMS messenger app for Android, a revived continuation of QKSMS. It replaces the stock messaging app with features like scheduled messages, backups, blocking, voice messages, and quick replies.

Use cases

  • replace the default SMS app on Android
  • schedule text messages to send later
  • back up my SMS messages
  • block spam texts and archive conversations
  • send voice messages over SMS
  • reply to texts from notifications
  • an open-source QKSMS successor

When to choose

  • you want a privacy-respecting, open-source SMS app on Android
  • you need scheduling, blocking, or backup features the stock app lacks
  • you liked QKSMS and want an actively maintained fork

When to avoid

  • you need RCS or internet-based messaging rather than SMS
  • you are not on Android
  • you want a cross-platform messenger like Signal or WhatsApp
