Informs you when receiving SMS matches with configured keywords
About this app
Priority Alerts is an app to trigger notifications when receiving priority messages (determined by user keywords).
UseCase
Acts as SOS alerter, user can configure some keywords like "help" or "emergency" keywords in this app, and the contact number likely they are going to receive the same.
So even when the user puts the phone in silent mode or in vibrate mode, the app alerts the user through customized ringtone, when the incoming SMS contents matches the configured keywords.
Features:
1. It supports multiple keywords as input to identify the text (either in comma or space separated format). 2. Informs user, when any one of the keywords are matched with received message. 3. Informs user even in silent mode. 4. On Boarding Screen for first time users is shown upon app installation.
How to use:
1. User inputs contact number(optional) and the keyword(required), the user will be informed when the keyword is found in any of the incoming SMS. 2. Press trigger button to save the config. So that the app uses it every time, when a SMS is received and validates it, even after reboot it works. 3. User needs to accept the READ SMS permission or else the app wouldn't able to validate the SMS packets against the user configured keyword. This is the core functionality of the app, without this the app wouldn't work. 4. To stop the app functionality, press the clear config button. 5. Users can see their saved config on pressing settings icon inside the app

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.saiga.find.messagefinder is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
No earlier build is on record for Priority Alerts, so there is nothing to roll back to yet. When a second version is published, this section will explain how to move between them safely.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Priority Alerts, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets Priority Alerts do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
No earlier build is on record — this is the first release we have listed.
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
