MySMS on your desktop, inside Franz
Read and send your phone's text messages from your desktop on Mac, Windows, and Linux, kept in one window, through mysms in Franz.

mysms mirrors the text messages on your phone to your computer, so you can read and reply to SMS from a full keyboard instead of thumbing them out on a small screen. The web app is the desktop side of that, and as a browser tab it has a way of disappearing among everything else you have open, which undoes the convenience of having your texts on your computer in the first place. Franz turns mysms into a focused desktop service tab in your sidebar, signed in and ready, so your texts stay one click away.
Your phone's texts in a dedicated tab
Franz loads the full app.mysms.com experience, so the conversations mirrored from your phone, including group messages, are right there. You sign in once to your mysms account and it stays connected, so you are not logging back in or reopening a browser window each time you want to reply. Reading and sending texts, picture messages, and group threads behave exactly as they do in the official web app, because it is the official web app, wrapped as a desktop tab you can pin and keep open beside everything else rather than a page you keep re-finding among your other tabs.
Texting from your keyboard, not your phone
The whole appeal of mysms is answering a text without reaching for your phone, and that works best when the app is always in view. Franz keeps mysms as its own service tab with its own unread badge, so the number of waiting conversations is visible at a glance and you can jump to it with a keyboard shortcut. Because it sits in your sidebar rather than behind a stack of browser tabs, replying to a text becomes part of the same flow as your other messages instead of a context switch to a separate device.
mysms alongside your other conversations
Franz is a native desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, so mysms works the same wherever you are, with a real dock or taskbar presence and fast switching to your other services. Instead of a browser tab you keep losing, you keep your mirrored texts beside Telegram, Gmail, and your work chat in one window, where typing a reply beats picking up the phone.
