How to use CallPilot — plan calls, remember people, and stay connected
Welcome
CallPilot helps you plan important calls, organize contacts into groups, set reminders, and run call trees. Everything stays on your device — no account required.
Use the main tabs for Home, Plans, To Do, Call Tree, and SMS (Pro). Manage Contacts and Groups from Settings.
Getting started
- Complete onboarding and grant the permissions you need (contacts, notifications).
- Import or add contacts you want to call regularly.
- Create your first call plan with a date and time.
You can deny a permission and still use other features. CallPilot will show how to enable it later in Settings.
Call plans & reminders
Create a plan for a contact or group, set when you want to be reminded, and track status as you go.
- When a reminder fires, use Call, Snooze, or Dismiss.
- Snooze options typically include 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
- Mark plans as called, completed, missed, or cancelled as needed.
Contacts
Manage contacts and groups from Settings. With contacts permission, you can import from your device address book.
- Open a contact to start a plan or place a call via the system dialer.
- Keep notes and context that help you remember why the call matters.
Groups
Organize contacts into groups — for example family, clients, or a project team.
- Create a group and add members.
- Plan calls against a whole group when you need a sequence or shared follow-up.
Call Tree
Schedule a sequence of calls to multiple people — from favorites, phone contacts, or a group (group members are added individually; duplicates are skipped).
- At reminder time, start the Call Tree flow.
- Tap Call for each person in order (for example Call James, then Call Thomas).
- Use Next after each call, then Finish when done.
CallPilot guides the sequence and opens your Phone app for each call. It cannot fully control live cellular calls; when phone permission is granted, it places calls as directly as the OS allows.
SMS (CallPilot Pro)
In CallPilot Pro, open the SMS tab to select multiple contacts and groups, type a message, and open your Messages app. You confirm Send — CallPilot does not send SMS silently.
Free CallPilot prompts you to install CallPilot Pro for SMS and for unlimited plans, todos, groups, and call trees.
Calling & conferences
- CallPilot opens your phone’s dialer (or places a call when permission and platform allow).
- For conferences, follow the in-app guidance and use your Phone app’s Merge Calls control.
Settings & permissions
Theme
- Choose light, dark, or system theme.
Reminders
- Keep notification and exact-alarm permissions enabled for reliable reminders on Android.
- Set a default snooze duration.
Permissions
- Contacts — import people.
- Notifications — call plan and call tree reminders.
- Phone — optional; more direct calling in Call Tree where supported.
Privacy
CallPilot is local-first: no login and no CallPilot cloud sync. Plans, contacts you manage in-app, and call trees stay on your device. See the full Privacy Policy.
Tips & contact
- Allow notifications so reminders are not delayed by battery savers.
- Keep the app updated from the store for fixes and improvements.
- Share the install page: Get CallPilot.
