Someone asked for your go-to referrals. Again. You know the names — they're in your phone — but getting them out cleanly takes forever. RecDeck gets your recommended contacts out in seconds the way you always do it...text message or email. Search your contacts, pick who to recommend, and send. Copy to clipboard, start a text, draft an email, or hand it off through the share sheet. No Notes app. No spreadsheets. No retyping numbers. No "hold on, let me find that thread." You curate, we format. QUICK SEND, RIGHT NOW Open the Contacts tab, search your address book, multi-select, and share — no saving required. Field toggles in Settings control exactly what goes out: name, phone, email, company, title. Your list, your format, one tap to copy or send. When someone texts "who do you know in Houston?" you're done before they put their phone down. SAVE IT ONCE, USE IT FOREVER Build reusable RecDecks — Houston camera ops, wedding vendors, your go-to crew, trusted recruiters, the family holiday list. Star your preferred contacts so the best names lead. Add a description and location, pick a tile style, and browse in wallet, stack, or tile view. Contacts stay synced with your phone, so when someone updates their number, your deck already has it. IMPORT WITHOUT THE HUNT Someone shares a contact card? Tap Share Contact in your Contacts app, pick RecDeck, and add them straight to a deck. No manual entry. No copy-paste gymnastics. Build your lists as referrals come in. SHARE YOUR WAY Copy easy-to-read plain text to the clipboard. Start a group text or email with every recipient prefilled — you review and send on your terms, RecDeck never sends behind your back. Pro users can strip the branding footer for a cleaner handoff to colleagues, clients, or friends. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE Local-first architecture. No account required.
