What it does
We save temporary numbers for plumbers, landlords, marketplace buyers, and dates every day. Recontact is a private sandbox that stops these contacts from syncing to WhatsApp, Facebook, and other apps, while still giving you full caller ID. One upfront download, zero subscriptions.
Keep your contractor, landlord, or colleague's number private from WhatsApp status views, Facebook friend suggestions, and loan app data harvesting. Get full caller ID without exposing your personal network.

You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.
