## Description

Contact Backup & Transfer (BETA) lets you back up and transfer all or selected iOS contacts directly to another device without internet. This offline solution avoids servers, making sharing safe and private. Backups can be sent via email or Dropbox for easy storage and restoration.

The app supports multiple languages and works offline, making it a handy contact manager and transfer tool.
