Need to share OTP codes with your team—without copy-pasting or chasing messages across apps? TXTman makes it easy by combining the simplicity of SMS with the power of mailing list-style message distribution.

Think of TXTman as Mailman for SMS: you receive a message, and it gets instantly broadcast to everyone who needs it. No shared devices. No bottlenecks. Just instant, organized access.

Introducing TXTman Lists

At the heart of TXTman is a simple but powerful concept: lists.

• A list has a phone number (an inbox).
• People can subscribe to the list.
• When a message (like an OTP code) is sent to the list’s number, it’s automatically distributed to all subscribers—in real time.

It’s like having an SMS mailing list, purpose-built for teams and automation workflows.

Use Case: Sharing OTP Codes

Imagine you’re setting up a cloud account, bank login, or social media profile that requires two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS. The service sends a one-time password to a phone number—but your whole team needs access to that code.

With TXTman:

1. You create a list with a shared phone number.
2. You subscribe your teammates (or automation endpoints) to the list.
3. The OTP arrives in the list’s inbox.
4. TXTman automatically forwards the OTP to all subscribers via their preferred delivery method (email, webhook, or API).

No more copy/pasting codes from one app to another. No more waiting for someone to check their phone. Everyone who needs the code gets it instantly.

Subscribers Can Be People or Systems

TXTman subscribers aren’t limited to humans. You can also add:

• Email addresses (great for forwarding to ticketing systems or shared inboxes)
• Webhooks (for automation)
• API clients (for programmatic access)

This makes TXTman a great fit for:

• DevOps teams managing cloud resources
• Customer support teams accessing verification codes
• Social media managers logging into brand accounts
• Automated systems that consume OTPs or verification links

Stay Organized with Inboxes

Each TXTman list has its own inbox—a history of all received messages. So even if someone misses a real-time notification, they can go back and review the message later. It’s searchable, timestamped, and scoped to just the relevant list.

Built for Teams, Built for Sharing

TXTman is designed for secure collaboration:

• Invite-only lists: Only approved subscribers receive messages.
• Scoped access: Users see only the lists they’re subscribed to.
• Message history: Keep a record of codes and timestamps for auditing.
