Built from source and signed by this household. Android will warn about installing outside the Play Store — Google does not allow SMS-handling apps there; that is the only reason this lives here.

1. Open this page on the phone and tap download.
2. Open the downloaded file; allow installs from your browser when asked.
3. Grant SMS permissions on first launch. If they are grayed out: Settings → Apps → Darien Family → the ⋮ menu → Allow restricted settings, then grant again.
4. Settings → Apps → Darien Family → Battery → Unrestricted, so the connection survives the phone sleeping.
