The Swiss Army Knife of Contact Managers for your iPhone or Androidworthy of your smartphone!

Skrol replaces basic Contacts apps that come with your iPhone or Android with no effort. It compares to those apps the same way a brand-new iPhone compares to a bargain flip phone. The app is free, fast, and easy to use. To learn more, please watch the demo video below.

Skrol is a Google and Apple Contacts-compatible app with a built-in business card scanner, digital business cards, personalized mail merge, reminders, and a host of other essential contact management tools.

The app starts working immediately with all of the contacts already on your iPhone or Android, so no import or synchronization is required.

Well-organized, joy to use, lightning-fast!

Skrol is organized into Address books, Lists, Galleries, Groups, and Folders. This structure is identical to the phone's Contacts app but is optimized for ease of use. Here is a brief description of each component and their respective benefits:

Gallery view

You can flip between List and Gallery views from the Options menu next to the group name. Galleries are best for relatively small groups, such as Favorites on the left. Here are the three top use cases for Galleries:

  1. To organize photos. Tap the caption under the image. It will open the "Add photo" menu with three options: Take a photo or selfie, Add an image from the Photos apps, and Find the photo on the web.
  2. Visual speed dial. Tap the photo to open a folder and tap an app icon you'll use to contact this person the most. From now on, this icon will appear in the lower right-hand corner of the photo.
  3. To refresh face's memory. Comes in handy before large family gatherings, class reunions, company-wide meetings, or other events with people you know. Peruse the Gallery a few times before the event to avoid the embarrassment of not recognizing a big boss, a former friend, or a distant rich uncle.

Business Card Scanner and more...

Many people give up on using contact organizers because adding new contacts by hand, let alone on a smartphone, is such a pain. Not so with Skrol because you wouldn’t need to type in most cases. Researching contacts on a smartphone is even more challenging because you need to retype or copy/paste names into the browser. And good luck adding found information from the browser to the contact folder, especially images, links, and addresses. Skrol solves all that, and here is how:

Built-in business card scanner

Adding business cards to a smartphone by hand is a certified hassle. Not so with Skrol! Just select the Scan business card command, point the camera toward the card, and tap the Scan command. Skrol will recognize and add the available information into a new folder with nearly 100% accuracy.

After scanning the card, you may hand your phone to its owner and ask her to add a selfy to their folder. Alternatively, you can add any image from the Photo app or find a photo online and transfer it back to Skrol with the Share command.

You can add any reasonable number of emails, websites, phone numbers, notes, addresses, social links, chat sites, names of relatives, and anniversaries to any folder. iPhone limits the total number of folders to 50,000. Each folder can contain up to 256KB of information.

Digital Business Cards

What are the chances of someone retyping the content of your regular business card info into their contact app? Pretty slim because it's a hassle. Skrol resolves this problem by displaying the QR code next to your basic information so people can scan it right into the Contacts apps on their phones:

Personalized Emails and Texts

If you find yourself sending similar text messages or emails again and again, you can save a good deal of time by using templates instead. This way, you can accomplish the same tasks in a fraction of the time. Templates are especially handy on the go, in the car, or if you aren't a fast typist.

Personalized mail merge

You can connect Skrol to your Gmail, Apple, Outlook, Yahoo, or any other email account that supports SMTP to send personalized messages to anyone individually or in a group directly from Skrol (i.e., without opening an email app).

Mail merge right from your phone helps you send repetitive emails on the go to organize small events or other similar tasks. It's particularly important when caught in an emergency and needing to contact a large group of people right away. With Skrol, you can do so with just a few taps, including dictating your message inside the app.

Skrol isn't a substitute for full-fledged email marketing services like MailChimp or Constant Contacts. Its advantages are that it's connected to your personal or work email address, works with contacts you already have, offers far greater privacy, doesn't cost you a penny, is dead simple to use, and is always with you!

Recurring reminders

You can add reminders about important events in people’s lives to their folders. Check out a list of all pending reminders at any time. Post relevant events to your calendar with just one click to avoid clutter. Follow-up with calls or personalized emails directly from Skrol. And you'll receive notifications even when the app isn't running.

Reminders list

Skrol ensures that you never miss important events in the lives of your family members, friends, and associates. The Reminders page below is a place to view, search, and manage pending, current, and expired reminders.

  • The first section displays today's reminders and notifications about forthcoming events. You can adjust the range of days before and after today's date in Settings.
  • To ensure ample preparation time for an event, you can enable multiple notifications for each reminder.
  • The next two sections show expired (crossed out) and pending reminders for each address book.
  • You can select to show all reminders in a single list or by account (as it is on the left);

When the app is closed, you will receive notifications about pending reminders on the Lock Screen, inside the Notification Center, as banners inside apps, and as the badge in the upper right-hand corner of the app icon.

The four sections above represent a small sampling of what Skrol does. For more information, please review this page for iPhone and this one for Android.

Skrol makes your favorite apps even more useful!

A contact organizer is only as good as its ability to connect you to people inside it. Below are some of the most popular apps that do just that -- send emails, schedule meetings, make phone calls, send messages, provide directions, find people, empower chats, and enable social interactions:

Email integration

You can create unlimited custom templates for sending personalized emails right from Skrol to one person, selected people, a group, or everyone.

Scheduling

Skrol is integrated with Apple and Google scheduling apps for adding events and sending invites directly from the app.

Voice, messaging, and chat

Dialer, Messages, and FaceTime interact with Skrol just like with Apple Contacts. Plus you can create personalized templates for texting right from Skrol.

Directions and mapping

You can use all of the above apps to get directions to any address inside Skrol or request an Uber/Lyft ride with a few taps.

Browsers

Images and sharing

Interacting with apps directly from Skrol has several practical benefits. You don't have to go through multiple home screens to open them, you don't have to memorize their interfaces, and you don't have to search inside the app for the person you want to contact. Skrol does all of this for you with a single tap!

Skrol vs. Apple and Google Contacts, and Outlook apps

Skrol for smartphones is a chock-full of practical functions — more than in any other app of this kind. But rest assured, they aren't there for the sake of "featuritis" or at the expense of ease of use. In fact, you'll find Skrol easier to use and master than the barebone Apple or Google Contacts app that came with your phone or optional Microsoft Outlook.
