Every person in your phone has a start date, but your Contacts app usually keeps it hidden. Recall Contacts shows you that missing story. It organizes your entire address book by the exact day you added each contact, with the newest entries first. That means you can scroll through years of connections and see when someone joined your phone, not just who they are. What you can do: - Browse your contacts as a timeline, grouped by the exact day you added each person - Relive key moments, like birthdays and join-date anniversaries, by seeing who was added a month or a year ago - Quickly spot what’s new by catching recently edited contacts at a glance Private by design: everything runs on your device. No account to create, no cloud backup, no tracking, and no data leaves your phone. Open Recall Contacts and scroll back through the people who got you here.

About

Recent Contacts

Features
Read full description

Recent Contacts lists the people in your address book newest-added first, so you can find the person you met yesterday without remembering their name. NEWEST FIRST, GROUPED BY DATE • Contacts are sorted by when they were added and grouped into Today, This Week, This Month and Earlier. • See the date each contact was added, when your iPhone has it. • Search by name, company, job title, email or phone number. FILTERS • Show only contacts added in the last 7 days, the last 30 days, or a custom date range. • Flip to oldest-first at any time. • Select individual contacts, a whole section, or everything shown. EXPORT THAT KEEPS YOUR DATA INTACT • Export to Excel (.xlsx), CSV or vCard and share through Messages, Mail, AirDrop or Files. • Rows stay in the order you see, with Order and Date Added columns. • Phone numbers are kept as text in Excel, so they never turn into 1.41556E+10 or lose leading zeros. • CSV files are UTF-8, so accents and non-Latin names survive. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything happens on your iPhone. No account, no servers, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • Your contacts never leave your device unless you share an export yourself. • Works with full or limited contacts access. FREE No subscription, no in-app purchases. About dates: iOS doesn't show when a contact was added, so Recent Contacts uses the date stored by the Contacts database. Contacts synced from iCloud, Google or Exchange use the date they arrived on this iPhone.
