Two everyday jobs, handled entirely on your iPhone: turning conversations into files you can read, print or store, and keeping a safe copy of your address book. CONVERSATIONS - Add chat screenshots and the conversation is rebuilt on device - Fix who said what with a tap, hide anything private before it leaves - Export as PDF, plain text, CSV, JSON, XML, a web page or one long image - Keep an archive of your conversations and bring it back later CONTACTS - Save every contact to a vCard, JSON or CSV file - Put contacts back from a saved file — nothing on your phone is deleted or overwritten - Skip entries you already have while restoring - Spot likely duplicates and contacts missing a number - Print a clean contact list as a PDF EVERYDAY DETAILS - Light, dark or system appearance - Optional reminders so a fresh copy is never far away - Backups sit in the app and show up in the Files app whenever you need them PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no sign-in, no servers. Text recognition uses Apple's on-device framework and every file is written on your phone. Contacts permission is the only permission requested, and nothing is ever uploaded. GOOD TO KNOW Conversations are built from screenshots you choose yourself. Apps cannot read the iPhone message database, cannot recover deleted texts, and cannot write messages back into a messaging app. Restoring brings conversations back into this app's own library. – Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase (After free trial period if offered). – Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. – Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal. – Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user’s Account Settings after purchase. – Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.
