Epistolaire

SMS and MMS backup
New in version 0.5.1
* on first start, wait until permission is granted to backup
* update F-Droid screenshot
Epistolaire dumps SMSes AND MMSes AND their photos to a JSON file on the phone storage (so you can copy it whatever way you like, rsync, Syncthing, ownCloud - you name it).

There's a tool to convert it to pretty HTML pages if you want to without effort. And if you know a little know a tiny bit of development, the JSON format is straightforward to use.
