CurbSnap

Android · coming to Google Play

A private curb book from the photos you already take.

CurbSnap turns photos of roadside signs, work vans, business cards, and name/phone lists into a private address book. You snap (or import) a picture; the app reads the text into contact fields, then you review, fix with tap-to-assign from the photo, and file people into Books. It stays separate from your phone Contacts until you choose to export, and it supports mass text/email plus backup.

Crop, then re-read

Placeholder shots from a real curb snap (a mini-split sign). A wide drive-by frame is hard to read; a tight crop, then Re-read photo, fills the contact cleanly. Better promo photos come later.

How it works

Shutter first. Organize later. Text from the photo can finish after you lock the phone.

1

Snap or import

Photograph a van, bandit sign, business card, or printed roster. Or bring in photos and spreadsheets you already have.

2

Read the text

The app fills name, phone, email, address, and similar fields from what is on the picture.

3

Crop & re-read

When the frame is messy, crop to the sign or card, then re-read. Tap lines from the photo to fix fields without retyping.

4

File into Books

Keep Business, Work, and Personal separate. Export to phone Contacts only when you choose.

What you get

Built for drive-by capture and the pile of photos that used to sit in the camera roll.

Drive-by capture

The shutter saves the photo and a draft contact immediately. Reading the text can finish after you lock the phone.

Crop & re-read

Keep the original. Crop the working photo. Re-read so a distant sign becomes clean contact fields.

One photo, many people

A roster or name/phone list can become many contacts. Each person gets their row; you still have the full sheet.

Tap text from the photo

Assign name, title, company, phone, email, address, notes, or a category without retyping the card.

Mass text and email

Reach a category from the curb book without copying numbers out. Add to the phone book in a batch when you are ready.

Backup on your terms

Android backup for contacts and settings. Optional zip copy. Photos travel on phone-to-phone transfer.

Your curb book is not your phone Contacts.

Photos and contacts stay on the device unless you export, back up, or later opt into Team features. There is no public listing yet; this page is the product home and the privacy URL for Google Play.
