Fext is an iOS application for business teams that need to send one message to many people while keeping every conversation private. Instead of creating a group thread, Fext delivers separate 1-to-1 SMS/iMessage texts from the sender’s own business phone number; replies come back only to the organization, not the list.
Who uses it
Small and mid-sized organizations that operate from iPhones—service businesses, field teams, schools, faith and community groups, real-estate teams, and clinics/offices (non-PHI use)—for announcements, reminders, staffing updates, and follow-ups.
Key capabilities
• Private 1-to-1 delivery (no group chats or reply-all)
• Sends from the organization’s iPhone number for higher recognition/read rates
• CSV/Google Sheets import with column mapping and basic de-duplication
• Personalization fields (e.g., first name) and reusable message templates
• Media support (photos, short videos/voice notes) via MMS/iMessage
• Test/preview before send; basic status and error feedback
• Simple list organization (groups + individuals), and quick re-sending
Business value
• Protects recipient privacy—contacts do not see each other’s numbers
• Faster reach and higher response vs. email or unknown short codes
• Low operational overhead—deploys on existing iPhones/iPads; no carrier contracts
• Consistent messaging at scale with personalization that still feels 1-to-1
What makes it different
Runs on iOS devices and uses the device’s native messaging stack, so messages originate from your recognizable number. Fext focuses on practical operational messaging rather than marketing automation.
