Deploy the directory to phones with Intune, Jamf or Kandji
RingSync is a public app on the App Store and Google Play. Your MDM installs it like any other, with no profile or settings. The dashboard then shows you who has signed in.
What your users still have to do
The MDM installs the app. On first launch, each person signs in with their work account and allows contacts access: iOS and Android leave that permission to the user, and no MDM can grant it for them.
So your teams know what to do, the dashboard gives you a ready-to-send message, in English or French.

With Intune
- 01
Add the iOS app
In Apps, then iOS/iPadOS, add an iOS store app and search for "RingSync".
- 02
Add the Android app
In Apps, then Android, add a managed Google Play app, search for "RingSync", approve it, then sync.
- 03
Assign them
Assign each app as required to the group that has access to RingSync in Entra ID. The MDM and RingSync then target the same people.
With another MDM, or none
With Jamf, Workspace ONE or Kandji, add the app from the public store with the identifier com.quadranova.RingSync, then assign it to the right group. In the Google console, it is added from mobile app management.
For personal phones, the ringsync.io/app link or its QR code is enough: it opens the App Store on iPhone and Google Play on Android.
Knowing who has signed in
Until someone signs in, nothing reaches their phone. The dashboard shows, for each directory, how many people have installed the app and synced. You can export the list of those who haven't yet, to remind them.
Uninstalling the app doesn't remove the contacts
The contacts are in the phone's address book, not in the app. First remove the person's access in your directory: RingSync then erases the directory from their phone. Once the purge is confirmed on their record, you can uninstall the app.
Security and dataCommon questions
Do I need to push a profile or app settings?
No. Each person signs in with their work account, and RingSync finds their directories from their email address.
Can I enforce the sync frequency?
Yes, from the RingSync dashboard: from once an hour to once a month. You also decide whether users can change it or turn it off.
What does someone without access see?
The app tells them no directory has been shared with them. As soon as you give them access, they just sign in again.
How much does it cost?
€9 per person per year on the Starter plan, €15 on Pro, €24 on Business. The 14-day trial is free and needs no credit card.
Start with a pilot group
The 14-day trial starts when you connect your directory. Deploy the app to a few phones, then roll it out to the rest of the team.
