Clear SMS

Clear SMS is a finance manager application developed by Prakash, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.2 weighing in at 20.94 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
2. File size is a light 20.94 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
3. This build is signed by "Prakash" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

• Messages are automatically sorted into Important, Promotional, Personal, OTP and Unknown using a transparent, regex-based rules engine - no ML black box, every rule is human-readable JSON you can inspect and edit.


• 390+ community-maintained rules plus a 715k sender-ID directory.


• Full-text search with category and time filters, heuristic scam-awareness flagging.

• Debit/credit transactions are extracted from bank SMS into accounts, credit cards and spend summaries with hand-rolled charts.


• Balance tracking with an optional biometric balance lock.

• Upcoming bills, autopay, insurance and credit-card due dates in one Alerts view.


• Train and flight journeys, package deliveries with courier and tracking id.

• Full SMS send and receive (default-SMS-app role), MMS send and receive with on-device image compression.


• Dual-SIM support, message scheduling, drafts, delivery reports, pinned conversations.


• Recycle bin with 30-day retention, undo for delete and archive, blocked senders and keywords.

• Big, copyable OTP notifications, optional auto-copy and configurable auto-delete.

• No INTERNET permission - no servers, no telemetry, no analytics, no trackers.


• No Firebase, no Play Services - pure AOSP compatible.


• Local backup and restore for messages and settings; your data never leaves your device.


• The only network activity is the Android system's own MMS transaction with your carrier - inherent to how MMS works.

Is Clear SMS free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Clear SMS require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Clear SMS safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Prakash. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Clear SMS?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.

1. Tap the Download APK button above and save the file to your device.
2. Open your device Settings → Security (or Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps) and allow your file manager or browser to install unknown apps for this one file only.
3. Open the downloaded app.clearsms.apk file from your Downloads folder.
4. Tap Install and wait for Android to finish.
5. Open «Clear SMS» by Prakash and grant only the permissions it actually needs.
6. Revoke the "unknown sources" permission once you are done installing.
