mCast

Message your customers, team, club or class without typing the same text again and again, and without starting a noisy group chat. Write your message once. mCast fills in each person's name and details, shows you exactly what everyone gets, and opens each message ready to send. You tap Send; mCast opens the next one. Replies come back to you privately. GROUPS THAT STAY OUT OF YOUR CONTACTS • Make groups for customers, staff, parents, members or anyone • Add people from Contacts (only the ones you pick), a CSV file from any spreadsheet, or pasted numbers • Groups live in mCast, so your iPhone contacts stay exactly as they are TEMPLATES WITH FIELDS • Put the parts that change in braces: "Today only: {item} for {price}" • {first name} and other personal fields fill in for each person • Add a fallback: {first name|there} • Columns from your spreadsheet become fields too, such as {balance} or {class} • Add a picture, such as this week's specials SEND YOUR WAY • Messages: one by one, each person with their own copy, or all at once • WhatsApp: each chat opens with the message typed in • Email: personal copies, or one email with everyone in BCC • Share or post: send the message and picture to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp Status, Telegram or any app NEVER LOSE TRACK • A send queue shows who is next and who is done • Stop at any time and carry on later • History keeps every send with who got it and when • Send again to everyone, or only to the people who were missed • Export a send log as a CSV file BUILT FOR DOING IT RIGHT • Mark people who opt out, and mCast skips them from then on • Notices, promotions and urgent messages each get the right extras: promotions say who they are from and how to opt out • Record how you know each person; mCast warns you before a promotion goes to someone without consent recorded, which helps with laws such as South Africa's POPIA • Gentle warnings for promotions late at night or on a Sunday • An SMS counter shows characters and message parts, and which emoji or curly quote pushes a text into the more expensive Unicode format AND MORE • Remind me later: a notification at the time you choose opens the send, ready to go • Rewrite with Apple Intelligence: shorten to one SMS, make it friendlier or more formal, or fix spelling, on your device • Shortcuts and Siri: "Start a message in mCast" • iPhone and iPad, light and dark mode PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking, no servers. Everything stays on your device. mCast never sends a message by itself: you see and send every one. Made in Johannesburg by Terawiz. If you bought mCast in 2011: thank you. This update is free.
