Composr lets you send the same message to dozens -- or hundreds -- of contacts, one person at a time. Each recipient gets a personal, individual text. No group chats. No awkward reply-alls. Just one-on-one messages that feel like you wrote each one by hand. HOW IT WORKS Write a single message using personalization tokens like {{firstName}} or {{fullName}}. Select your recipients. Tap Send. Composr walks you through each message using the native iOS compose sheet -- every text is a real, individual iMessage or SMS sent from your number. PERSONALIZE EVERY MESSAGE Use built-in tokens to automatically insert each contact's first name, last name, full name, or nickname. "Hey {{firstName}}, check this out!" becomes "Hey Sarah, check this out!" for Sarah and "Hey Mike, check this out!" for Mike. CONTACT GROUPS Save groups of contacts you message regularly -- your team, your fantasy league, your family. Load a group in one tap and send to everyone without re-selecting contacts every time. DRAFTS & TEMPLATES Save works in progress as drafts. Save frequently used messages as reusable templates. Your compose state is automatically saved so you never lose work. SHARE EXTENSION Found something worth sharing? Use the iOS share sheet from Safari, YouTube, or any app to send a URL or media directly through Composr. Select your recipients and send it out. ATTACHMENTS Attach photos and videos from your library. Every recipient gets the same attachments along with your personalized message. SEND HISTORY & TAGS Every message is logged with recipient, content, and delivery status. Tag batches for easy organization -- "Holiday Greetings", "Product Launch", "Birthday Wishes". Browse past sends and re-select recipients from previous batches. PRIVACY FIRST Composr uses the built-in iOS Messages app to send every text. Your messages are never routed through third-party servers. No account required. PERFECT FOR: - Holiday greetings & seasonal messages - Event invitations & RSVPs - Announcements & updates - Real estate & sales outreach - Team & group communications - Club, league & organization updates - Sharing links, photos & videos with your people - - - - - Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://scottdesapio.com/privacy
