About Epistolaire
Epistolaire creates a backup of SMS and MMS messages, including photos attached to MMS conversations, and saves the backup as a JSON file in the phone’s storage. The file can then be copied using whatever transfer method the user prefers. This gives users a portable export of text messages and multimedia message attachments rather than keeping the only copy inside the messaging app. The app also includes a tool for turning the JSON backup into readable HTML pages. Users who want to work with the exported data in other ways can use the JSON directly; the format is described as straightforward for people with some development experience. The resulting files can be moved or synchronized with other tools independently of Epistolaire. The product is focused on exporting and preserving SMS and MMS history. The supplied description does not state that it restores backups to the messaging app, performs scheduled backups, or encrypts the exported files. Users should therefore understand it as a local export utility that writes message data and attachments to storage, with an optional HTML conversion for easier reading.
