The follow-up text app that sends from your own number
Scan the card, say what you talked about, and the follow-up text is written and queued on your phone. You tap send; it goes from your number. When they don't reply, it knows what to send next.

A study of 20 million LinkedIn members found that acquaintances, more than close friends, led to new jobs (Science, 2022). Capstone keeps those people warm. You approve every message, and it goes from your own email or phone.

What the app does
- Drafts the text from the conversation. Scan a business card or a QR badge, say what you talked about, and the follow-up text is written from that, not from a template.
- Sends from your own number. Texts and WhatsApp messages are queued to your phone; you tap send and they go out as you, from you. No short code, no "reply STOP."
- Knows when to stop. The follow-up stops the moment they reply by email. If they don't, it waits the right number of days and tries once more, then leaves the thread clean.
- Keeps people on a cadence. Put anyone on a weekly, monthly or quarterly keep-in-touch cadence and a drafted check-in arrives on the day, written from your history with them.
- Email too. When a message needs detail or a paper trail, the same draft goes out from your own Gmail or Outlook instead.
How it works, in one minute
- Scan the card (or tap an NFC (tap-to-share) card, or type a name).
- Say what you talked about. Voice notes work.
- Read the draft. Edit if you want, or ask the assistant to change the tone.
- Tap send. It goes from your number, right now or on the day you pick.
Who it is for
People who meet people and lose them: founders at events, agents with a sphere, contractors with a stack of estimates, consultants with a quiet pipeline. If your follow-ups live in texts and you keep forgetting to send them, this is the app.
The templates and timing it uses
The app follows the rules on this site: one ask, under 300 characters, business hours, two texts per thread. If you want to see the messages before you install anything: 15 SMS follow-up templates, follow-up text after no response, after a quote.
It's on the App Store now. Scan the card, say what you talked about, approve the draft, and it sends from your own number or inbox. Put people on a cadence and the check-ins write themselves.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an app that writes follow-up texts for you?
Yes. Capstone Outreach for iPhone drafts the follow-up text from the conversation (a scanned business card, a voice note, a meeting), you approve it, and it sends from your own number.
It can also keep people on a recurring keep-in-touch cadence.
Does it send texts from my own phone number?
Yes. Texts and WhatsApp messages are queued to your phone and go out from your own number when you tap send. Recipients see you, not a short code, and replies come to your phone.
Can it send follow-up texts automatically?
It drafts them automatically and queues them on the day they are due, including recurring check-ins on a cadence you set. A person always taps send; nothing texts anyone without you. That is deliberate: a text from your number should be yours.
What does the app cost?
$24.99 a month through Apple after a 14-day free trial, or $250 a year. The same account works on the web app at no extra cost.
Is it on Android?
Yes. Get it on Google Play. It is the same account as the web app and the iPhone app.
