I've rarely wanted Android apps on my Mac. Where I've wanted them is on my iPhone: an app that forwards incoming SMS to Gmail, and a free VPN.

Have you looked into the Shortcuts app automations, to see whether you can forward incoming SMS to Gmail using that?

Just a couple of days ago, I deleted a shortcut/automation to forward messages to email which I had sitting around for ages. I had disabled it, but I don't remember if I disabled it because didn't need it, or I never got it working. I know WhatsApp was harder.

Free VPN? Does ProtonVPN do what you need?

Edit: By the way, I agree about wanting Android apps. I can't remember what I feel like I'm missing now - I must have learned to live without them.
