I am looking for a FOSS alternative to Google Messages.
The main feature I want to keep is "device pairing:" I should be able to link it to my computer and type out messages with a physical keyboard. This is important because I don't want to write a long message on my phone, and some people I communicate with are unable to use another messaging system that works on desktops out-of-the-box.
I've tried several SMS apps on F-Droid, but none of them seem to have this feature.
I do not need all the advanced features of RCS, nor do I need E2EE (because most of the people I use Google Messages to talk to are on iPhones).
