TextExhibit: Text Message PDFs

TextExhibit: Text Message PDFs converts SMS and MMS conversations into searchable, court-ready PDF documents that preserve the original message flow and media. Use it when you need reliable evidence or a permanent record of chats: select conversations, export organized PDFs with clear timestamps and embedded images or audio, and keep proofs that are easy to share and archive. The app runs all processing locally on your device so your messages never leave your phone, and it handles large threads efficiently while exporting in the background so you can keep using your phone during backups.

Disadvantages
