About

The professionals

Features
Read full description

**Keep the pros you trust at your fingertips.** The Professionals is the simple, focused way to save the professionals you rely on — plumbers, electricians, painters, HVAC techs, handymen, gardeners, movers, nannies — and share them with the people who ask. You know the feeling: a friend asks "do you know a good plumber?" and you spend ten minutes scrolling through old WhatsApp messages trying to find the number. The Professionals fixes that. Save each pro once, with their photo, phone, email, category, and a quick note about the job they did for you. Next time someone needs a recommendation, send them the contact in one tap — or a QR code, or a deep link that imports straight into their app. **What you can do** • Save pros with photo, multiple phones and emails, category, and notes • Import from your device contacts, no retyping • Organize by category — Plumbing, Electrical, Painting, HVAC, Handyman, and your own custom categories • Search and filter as your list grows • Call or message the right person without digging — primary phone and email per contact • Share a pro three ways: native share sheet, a friend deep link, or QR code for in-person handoffs • Ask a pro to add you as a client with one tap • Cloud sync across your devices when you sign in **Made for iPhone and iPad** The Professionals is built natively for iOS — sign in once and your list follows you across your devices. **Private by default** Your contacts stay yours. We never sell your data. Cloud sync is opt-in and tied to your account; everything else lives locally on your device.
