Pulse SMS, an open source Android SMS app has been acquired.

Posted: 29 Oct 2020 11:44 AM PDT

Pulse SMS, developed by Klinker Apps, Inc. with more than 1M+ downloads seems silently been acquired by Maple Media, a private firm that purchases apps.

More about Maple Media:

Maple Media, has bought several undisclosed mobile apps already. They are generally looking at apps with thousands of users and some small amount of revenue. But the hope is that with their experience, along with cost efficiencies gained through sharing services across apps, can boost the value of each app.

Clues of the acquisition:

The Pulse SMS GitHub page is now under Maple Media GitHub organization
