## What it is
An Android app that backs up SMS, MMS, and call logs to Gmail or any IMAP server, with optional Google Calendar integration for call logs. It also supports restoring backed-up SMS and call logs back to the phone.

## Use cases
- back up android sms messages to gmail
- save mms and call log to imap server
- restore text messages to a new phone
- automatically back up sms over wifi
- log phone calls to google calendar
- migrate sms history between android devices

## When to choose
- you want SMS/MMS/call log backups stored in your own Gmail or IMAP account
- you need to restore messages onto a new or reset Android phone
- you prefer app-password-based IMAP access instead of sharing your Google password

## When to avoid
- you need MMS restore, which is not supported
- your device runs a very recent Android version beyond the tested range
- you cannot create Gmail app passwords or access an IMAP server
