About this App
My Retro Rolodex looks like it jumped straight out of a 1980s office.
Your Desk Called. It Wants Its Rolodex Back.
My Retro Rolodex brings back the joy of keeping track of people the old-school way. This beautifully crafted digital organizer captures the tactile satisfaction of that spinning card file - or the flip-through card holder - that sat on everyone's desk in the 80s and 90s.
Simple Navigation
Touch a letter and instantly land on that section of your rolodex. Want to find your friend Sarah? Tap 'S' and you're there. Direct. Simple. Satisfying.
It's the alphabetical organization you remember from those desktop organizers - whether yours was the spinning wheel type or the flip-through card style - but faster and always at your fingertips.
Your Rolodex, Your Rules
Add Who You Want: Curate your rolodex intentionally. Add people one by one - your closest friends, your family, the people who actually matter. Or import your list in small batches and customize from there. Your rolodex, your rules.
The Beauty of Curation: This isn't about having every person you've ever met. It's about creating a collection of the people who matter. Quality over quantity.
Real, Fantasy, or Famous
Here's where it gets fun. Add real contacts, TV or movie characters, public domain figures, or completely fantasy entries. Want Phoebe from Friends in your rolodex? Add her. Indiana Jones? Why not! Your rolodex becomes part contact list, part creative space. Some entries are practical. Some are pure whimsy. All of them are yours.
Track What Matters
Each contact card holds:
• Birthday Field: Save the date (set your own calendar reminders!)
• Holiday Card Checkbox: Who's on the list this year?
• Notes Section: Gift ideas, favorites, inside jokes, anything that makes this person uniquely them. Use it however you want.
Privacy Like It's 1985
Your contacts stay YOURS. No cloud syncing. No data sharing. Your rolodex lives on YOUR device only. Want to share a contact? Take a screenshot. That's it. Old school? Absolutely. Private? You bet. Completely offline. Your personal connections shouldn't require a connection to us.
That Authentic Look
Classic old-school retro colors and styling that never changes. No themes. No customization. It looks exactly like the rolodex that sat on desks throughout the 1980s and 90s. The colors are right. The aesthetic is right. Sometimes constraints are freeing.
