Pluck Contacts
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pluck is an iPhone app for exporting contacts. It groups your address book by country, finds duplicates the iOS built-in tool misses, and exports clean files to CSV, Excel, TXT, or vCard. The whole app runs on your phone. There is no server, no account, no analytics SDK, no networking code at all. Your contacts can't be uploaded because nothing in the app could send them. WHAT IT DOES • Auto-groups contacts by country. Pluck reads each phone number, detects the country code, and bins your contacts onto per-country lists. No manual tagging. • Finds duplicates iOS misses. iOS 17 added a duplicate finder that catches the obvious cases. Pluck normalizes phone numbers before comparing, so reformatted versions of the same number (like +1 415 555 2671 and (415) 555-2671) are flagged as duplicates and can be merged. • Exports to four formats. CSV, Excel (.xlsx), plain text, or vCard (.vcf). Pick which fields to include. Set how country codes are formatted. Bundle every country into one file or split per country. • Backup and restore. Tap once to back up your full contact list as a vCard. Save it to Files, AirDrop it, email it, drop it in iCloud Drive. Restore from any vCard when you set up a new phone. • Phone-number formatting that matches your CRM. Strip country codes, force the international E.164 format, or add a country code to local-only numbers. Useful when prepping a CSV for a CRM import. • Clean Up tool. Remove broken contacts (no phone number) or duplicates directly from your iPhone, with confirmation before any change is made. PRIVACY-FIRST BY ARCHITECTURE Most contact apps are data brokers in disguise. Pluck is the opposite. The app contains zero networking code. There are no third-party SDKs, no analytics, no tracking, no crash reporters, no ad networks. Apple handles the one-time purchase. Everything else stays on your device. USE CASES • Sales reps with multi-country contact lists who need clean per-country exports for outreach. • Founders moving contacts into a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho). • Anyone setting up a new phone who wants a reliable vCard they control. • People with thousands of contacts accumulated over years who want to dedupe properly. • Anyone who wants a real backup of their address book that does not depend on iCloud. PRICING Pluck is a one-time purchase. No subscription. No in-app purchases. No ads. Free updates after that. Family Sharing is enabled, so the purchase covers up to six people in your family group. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 15 or later • Works on iPhone and iPad • Permission to read your contacts (asked once, when you tap Load My Contacts) • Permission to write to your contacts is asked separately, only when you use Backup and Restore or Clean Up SUPPORT Email hello@kodefoundry.com any time. Same address as the help button inside the app.
