iTellWe built the thing we wanted in our own pockets.
iTell started with a very ordinary problem: two numbers, two phones, and a bag that kept buzzing. We wanted one phone in our hand, and we wanted it to be the iPhone.
The story so far
The first prototype was a Bluetooth link between an old Android phone and an iPhone on a desk, ringing each other over and over. It worked, barely.
Since then we've rebuilt it from the ground up: an encrypted link, real call audio, texts with their history, contacts, two SIMs, seven languages, and an iPhone app that feels like it belongs on the iPhone.
We're still a small team and we like it that way. We ship often, test on real phones, and read every message you send.
What we care about
Your data stays yours
We designed iTell so your calls and texts never reach us. Privacy you don't have to trust us on.
Honest about limits
Some phones only work listen-only, Bluetooth has a range, setup takes five minutes. We'd rather tell you up front.
Real phones, real calls
Every release is tested with live calls between phones in our lab, not just in a simulator.
Feels like the iPhone
System call screen, dark mode, Dynamic Type and gestures you already know.
Who's behind it
No call centre, no scripts. The people who reply to your ticket are the people who wrote the code and tested it on real phones.
Engineering
Bluetooth, audio and encryption. Lives in the lab with a drawer full of phones.
Design
Sweats the pixels in seven languages, right-to-left included.
Support
Reads every ticket and every log you choose to send.
The phone drawer
Phones we've tested with live two-way calls. We add more every month.
