Pluck Contacts

Pluck is an iPhone app for exporting contacts. It groups your address book by
country, finds duplicates the iOS built-in tool misses, and exports clean
files to CSV, Excel, TXT, or vCard. The whole app runs on your phone. There is
no server, no account, no analytics SDK, no networking code at all. Your
contacts can't be uploaded because nothing in the app could send them.

WHAT IT DOES

• Auto-groups contacts by country. Pluck reads each phone number, detects the
country code, and bins your contacts onto per-country lists. No manual
tagging.

• Finds duplicates iOS misses. iOS 17 added a duplicate finder that catches
the obvious cases. Pluck normalizes phone numbers before comparing, so
reformatted versions of the same number (like +1 415 555 2671 and (415)
555-2671) are flagged as duplicates and can be merged.

• Exports to four formats. CSV, Excel (.xlsx), plain text, or vCard (.vcf).
Pick which fields to include. Set how country codes are formatted. Bundle
every country into one file or split per country.

• Backup and restore. Tap once to back up your full contact list as a vCard.
Save it to Files, AirDrop it, email it, drop it in iCloud Drive. Restore from
any vCard when you set up a new phone.

• Phone-number formatting that matches your CRM. Strip country codes, force
the international E.164 format, or add a country code to local-only numbers.
Useful when prepping a CSV for a CRM import.

• Clean Up tool. Remove broken contacts (no phone number) or duplicates
directly from your iPhone, with confirmation before any change is made.

PRIVACY-FIRST BY ARCHITECTURE

Most contact apps are data brokers in disguise. Pluck is the opposite. The app
contains zero networking code. There are no third-party SDKs, no Google
Analytics, no Facebook tracking, no crash reporters, no ad networks. Apple
handles the one-time purchase. Everything else stays on your device.

USE CASES

• Sales reps with multi-country contact lists who need clean per-country
exports for outreach.
• Founders moving contacts into a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho).
• Anyone switching from iPhone to Android who wants a reliable vCard.
• People with thousands of contacts accumulated over years who want to dedupe
properly.
• Anyone who wants a real backup of their address book that does not depend on
iCloud.
