Send email and SMS broadcasts to your contacts.
Polysender is a desktop application, so it does not require a complicated server setup.
Emails are sent via an SMTP service of your choice.
SMS are sent via your Android phone connected to your computer with the help of third party software.
It should work on Linux, Windows 8.1+, macOS 10.14+, although it has only been tested on Linux and macOS 11.
Sending SMS via ADB is supported on Android versions from 5 to 10 but it might not work on some versions since it hasn't been tested. Android 11 is not supported yet.
This is alpha quality software released for testing purposes. Not recommended for production use. Bug reports are appreciated.
You are responsible for compliance with laws and regulations regarding electronic communications, and your carrier's terms of service.
