Need an app that can forward SMS to another phone or desktop/cloud (discuss.tchncs.de)

Either I need the app to forward any received text message to another phone number. This should be reliable, i.e. not stop when the phone is idle/sleeping.

Or, I need to sync all received message to a cloud, Nextcloud, Google Account, proprietary; so that I can read message from another device. This needs to be reasonable secure, i.e. either e2e encrypted or stored to trusted service. I'm willing to trust Nextcloud or google for the purpose. I'm also willing to trust a third-party service when run professionally, but I'm sceptical.

Bridge it to matrix https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/sms/ or simply use a server of someone who bridges it for you

Looks good, but also complicated. I know nothing about Matrix. Do you think Beeper is good for a newbie?

Yes
