# Recall Contacts

> iPhone contacts app that lets you find anyone by what you remember — a hashtag, a place, a moment — not by how their name is spelled. Built for dyslexic, ADHD, and neurodivergent minds. Works brilliantly for everyone.

Recall Contacts is a $2.00 iPhone and Mac app created by photographer Paul Barbera. It layers on top of your existing Apple Contacts — nothing moves, nothing breaks. Tag people with hashtags (#NYC, #wedding, #schoolrun, #doctor) and search by context instead of spelling. All data stays on your device. No account required. No cloud sync.
