What it does

I realized we don't have a lot of tools for a conversation-first culture. So, I deleted social media off of my phone and built this app. Whenever I am craving connection, I have it populate a random contact for me to text or call.

Out of the Blue is a contact roulette app designed for a conversation first world.
