JMP SIM Manager vs Text Torch
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
JMP SIM Manager
JMP SIM Manager is a fully free and open-source companion app for the JMP eSIM Adapter. The JMP eSIM Adapter is a removable eSIM chip that enables any device, not just those with included eSIM chips, to make use of downloadable eSIMs. JMP SIM Manager provides management features such as adding, deleting, enabling, and disabling eSIM profiles for the adapter, and is the easiest option to manage your eSIM Adapter on compatible Android host devices. The manager app is not required once a profile has been downloaded and enabled on the adapter. In other words, you can use a compatible Android device to download your eSIM profile of choice onto the adapter, and then insert the adapter into any device -- Wi-Fi hotspots, dumb phones, laptops -- and the adapter will simply appear as a regular SIM card to those devices. This app also includes a quick compatibility check to determine whether your Android device can be used to manage a JMP eSIM Adapter. Although the eSIM Adapter will work with almost any device once an eSIM profile is loaded, management requires some specific features that may not be present on a small percentage of Android devices. However, even if your Android device is deemed incompatible, you can still manage the adapter from another Android device, using a PC/SC reader on a PC, or, as a final fallback, through the SIM Toolkit menu along with a self-hostable remote server to handle TLS termination.
Text Torch
Text Torch analyzes your SMS and MMS messages and tells you how you compare to each person you message in several ways: • what percent of the time each of you starts conversations with the other • what percent of the texts each of you has sent • how the average length of your texts compares to theirs Sentry is used (opt-in) for analytics and crash reporting. Permissions: • READ_SMS to get SMS and MMS message data • READ_CONTACTS to display contacts' names • INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE for Sentry
