Ever wished life had an "Eject" button? Now it does. Whether it's a date that's going nowhere, a meeting that should have been an email, or a family gathering that drags on forever—RunPlanB is your ultimate getaway driver. Unlike typical fake call apps, RunPlanB focuses on stealth and realism. With exclusive Apple Watch integration, you can trigger a rescue call without even touching your iPhone. Why RunPlanB is Different: - The "Stealth Mode" (Apple Watch Support) Tap a button on your wrist, and your iPhone rings instantly (or after a delay). Keep your phone in your pocket or face down on the table. No one will suspect a thing. - Native Lock Screen Experience Uses iOS CallKit technology. The call looks, feels, and behaves exactly like a real phone call, even when your iPhone is locked. Slide to answer, just like the real deal. - Believable Audio Playback Set up custom audio to play when you answer. Have a pre-recorded "Boss" yelling about a deadline, or a "Neighbor" reporting an emergency. - Timers & Scheduling Don't have a Watch? Set a timer for 5 minutes, or schedule a specific time (e.g., 9:00 PM) for your rescue call to arrive. - iCloud Sync Seamlessly sync your caller profiles and audio scripts across devices. Perfect For: Family gatherings that drag on forever. Dates that aren't going well (the polite exit). Meetings that never seem to end. Escaping pushy salespeople. Politely leaving awkward conversations. Creating a believable excuse when running late. Don't hesitate. When Plan A fails, RunPlanB.
