Overall Sunshine aims to improve apps.
“At Sunshine, we reject the status quo of incomplete, out‑of‑date, scattered contacts,” the company says.
“Everyone’s contacts are a mess. Now you can make your contacts useful and usable with Sunshine Contacts.”
The firm’s aim os to “create advanced technologies that make mundane tasks effortless, free up your time, and make it easier to be thoughtful.
“At Sunshine, we are passionate about making the mundane magical: building everyday apps that put people first and quietly solve problems using sophisticated technology.
“Our first product is Sunshine Contacts, now available by invitation. As we build our portfolio of apps, we are eager to innovate in scheduling, group communication, and event organization, just to name a few.”
