rysasahrialConnectYou is a feature-rich, privacy-first Android app built using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, providing users with a seamless Material Design 3 experience for managing contacts and SMS messaging. It leverages the native Android Contacts API to offer full contact lifecycle management—create, edit, delete—with support for phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, and event reminders. The app’s modern UI includes both light and dark themes (including AMOLED), and ensures a user-friendly experience for SMS handling: send, receive, search, delete, copy verification codes, export/import messages, and block unwanted numbers.
Built entirely with Jetpack Compose for responsive and declarative UI updates, ConnectYou also supports biometric authentication, customized ringtones per contact, SIM selection memory, contact favorites, job titles, and more. The latest v10.1 release includes enhancements like collapsible bottom navigation, improved search in SMS threads, confirm-import dialog for VCF files, automatic backup naming preferences, and robust vCard import/export handling.
For developers, using the source code means you can easily clone the repository, build via Gradle, and run it with full access to Material 3 theming, Android API integration, and isolation of contact/SMS permissions. The open‑source nature of the project makes it ideal for contributions, forks, or customization aligned with privacy-conscious Android applications.
