Text everyone at once. Make it feel one-on-one. Kontact turns your iPhone contacts into something you can actually work with: tag people into groups, save the messages you send over and over, and fire them off as private texts that fill in each person's name automatically. MASS TEXT WITHOUT THE GROUP CHAT Pick a group, pick a message, send. Kontact delivers a separate text to each person — nobody sees anyone else's number, and nobody gets dragged into a 30-person thread. Or switch to Group mode when you do want everyone talking in one place. Before anything sends, you get a preview of the exact text every single person will receive, and you can edit any one of them by hand. TAG YOUR CONTACTS Create any tag you want and drop people into it. You choose the names, you choose who goes in. A tag can hold other tags, so a broad one can contain narrower ones. • City: Miami, NYC, LA • Clients: Hot Leads, Cold Leads, Existing • Family: Immediate, Extended Filter by one tag or several at once, matching all of them or any of them. Then text the whole filtered group in two taps. SAVE YOUR MESSAGES AS TEMPLATES Stop retyping the same thing. Save any message as a template, sort templates into categories, and reorder them however you like. Drop in {First Name}, {Last Name}, or {Company} and Kontact fills in the right details for each recipient, so a message you wrote once still reads like you wrote it for them. Templates people actually use: class reminders from trainers, listing updates from realtors, a sales pitch you can tweak per audience, event invites, follow-ups after a networking night, opening lines you know work. FIND THE PERSON YOU JUST MET Sort by date added and the newest contacts come first. You met them Thursday, you forgot the spelling of their name, and now you don't need it. BUILT ON YOUR REAL CONTACTS Kontact reads and writes your actual iPhone address book — no separate copy to maintain, no import step. Add a contact and it lands in Contacts. From any contact you can text, call, FaceTime, email, WhatsApp, or open their Instagram. Your tags and templates sync to your account, so switching phones doesn't lose your work. ALSO IN HERE • Light, dark, and automatic themes • Full VoiceOver support • Instant search and A–Z fast scroll • 21 short how-to videos built into the app • Free — no subscription, no per-message fees QUESTIONS OR IDEAS?
