Field Service Companion helps you remember the people you meet in your ministry — and pick up every conversation right where it left off. It's a private place for your return visits: who you spoke with, where they live, what you talked about, and when to come back. We help you remember the next conversation, ready when you are. REMEMBER EVERY CONVERSATION • Keep contacts with addresses, phone numbers, and the details that matter. • Log each visit with notes, what you left behind, and the date. • A dashboard surfaces who to see next, focused on the conversations worth continuing. FIND YOUR WAY • See your contacts on a map and hand off directions to Apple Maps or Google Maps. • Add people by hand or import them from your phone's contacts. • Set reminders so a promised return visit doesn't slip. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Everything is encrypted on your device. The app works fully offline after sign-in. • There is no server that can read your contacts or your notes — you hold the only key. • Make a local, encrypted backup secured by a recovery phrase you keep. MADE WITH CARE • Clear and quick — most things are three taps away. • Full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and accessibility support. • No ads. • No tracking of the people you visit. ABOUT Field Service Companion is a personal ministry tool for individual publishers. It is an independent product — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official product of Jehovah's Witnesses, jw.org, or the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.
