Dial is the voice companion that always picks up. Call Dial like you'd call a friend — talk out loud, naturally, and it talks right back. No typing, no menus. Just a conversation. REMEMBERS YOU Dial remembers your conversations across calls — what you're working on, how you like things, the people in your life. Pick up right where you left off. No re-explaining. GETS THINGS DONE Ask Dial to handle your email, check your calendar, search the web, or take action on the tools you connect — Gmail, Slack, Linear and more. It doesn't just chat; it does. CALLS YOU BACK Lock your phone and go. When something's done or Dial needs you, it rings you — a real call, right on your lock screen. The assistant that reaches out instead of waiting to be opened. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI Just say "Hey Siri, talk to Dial" and it picks up. No tapping required. WARM, FAST, NATURAL Real back-and-forth voice — interrupt it, change your mind, think out loud. It feels like talking to someone who's actually listening. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your memory is yours. Review or delete any memory, disconnect any account, or delete everything anytime in Settings. Dial doesn't sell your data or use it for ads. Start free with minutes every day. Dial is the friend who always picks up — call it anytime.

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/
