Peace of Mind+ vs Text Torch
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Peace of Mind+
We become more conscious of our phones as our lives become increasingly connected. Would you like to disconnect, if only for a moment? Your phone will go silent and disconnect from the world: no e-mail, no status updates, no SMS and no phone calls. Choose how long you wish to disconnect (up to 12 hours). Originally developed by Kwame Corporation for Fairphone 1, Peace of Mind+ aims simply to bring this beautiful app to other devices, and for future Fairphone-owners patiently waiting to receive their phone! App works without root, but from Android 4.2+ root access is needed to switch to flight mode. Without root access the app will switch the phone to silent mode only.
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
