Your AI agents can finally call and text you. Kick off a long task, walk away from the keyboard, and let your agent reach you like a real person would: your iPhone rings with a native call, you answer and speak, and your spoken reply is delivered back to the agent as text. HOW IT WORKS • Subscribe and the app assigns you a private /call-me number. No account, no email, no sign-up. • Give that number to your own AI agents (works with Claude Code out of the box, or any agent through one command). • Your agent can now text you (each session gets its own conversation thread) or place a real voice call when it needs a decision. • Missed the call? It lands as a thread you can answer by text whenever you're ready. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO RUN AGENTS • A deploy agent asks "ship it?" and you approve it from the couch, by voice. • A research agent texts you its findings as they land. • Any long-running automation can escalate to a phone call instead of dying silently in a terminal you stopped watching. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Anonymous by default: your number is random and yours alone. • Voice audio is processed in real time for transcription only, never stored. • Regenerate your number any time, or delete it and every trace of your data with one tap. SUBSCRIPTION /call-me needs a subscription. Choose a weekly plan, which starts with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers, or a yearly plan. Prices are shown in the app before you subscribe. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and period until you cancel. Cancel any time in Settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. If you stop, your number is held for you, so resubscribing gives you the same number back. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
