Text your whole group β and finally know who actually got it. batchrunner is the group texter that tracks every send.

WHO IT'S FOR Organizers, coaches, realtors, small businesses, club and community admins β anyone who texts the same group of people and needs it to actually land. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - See who got it. A live send ledger: sent, remaining, skipped β per person. - Resume anytime. Lose signal or close the app mid-send? Pick up exactly where you left off. Force-quit safe. - Personalized, not generic.
