Zapify is a lightweight app that helps you quickly open chat applications using just a phone number — no need to save contacts!
There are many apps with similar purposes, but this one is just a "lab" to experiment with Flutter/Dart, try out new ideas, share knowledge, and — most importantly — because I believe all software should be open source.
- Open popular chat apps that support phone numbers, without saving them as contacts;
- Use your phone call log to help you reach people you've recently talked to (available only when the app is installed from source);
- Handle
tel:links by offering multiple messaging options when tapping on a phone number.
- Flutter ^3.29.2
- Platform SDKs: Android and/or Xcode
- Firebase project with registered Android/iOS apps
- Firebase CLI installed and authenticated
