Looking for FOSS SMS app recommendations. (Android 14) (self.fdroid)

Looking for a FOSS SMS app that is fully compatible with Android 14. I've had issues with finding one, I used to use (I think) QKSMS, but it started to crash when I upgraded to LOS 21. Now I just use the LineageOS SMS app, I think it is AOSP messages.

What SMS apps do you use? No required features. Scheduled texts are nice, though.

I use Partisan-SMS (PSMS) it's a fork of QKSMS with optional encryption

That compared to Quik?

Quik is huge, 60MB for an SMS app... in my eyes it tries to do too much, like integration of random other protocols.

I used DekuSMS because of that but it doesnt allow texting phone numbers and Exodus shows it has a tracker

Oh wow I hadn't heard of Quik! What other protocols does it integrate? Not much info on their repo.

It seems none? Looks like just a fancy SMS app, but I dont need that and has no encryption support.

But at least it is actively maintained, Partisan SMS is abandonware.
