# Export Phone Calls to Markdown

Alto Index writes your call history as Markdown: a file per person and a file per day, with times, durations, FaceTime and missed calls. 100 calls free.

Export your call history with contact names.

## What you get

- Every call twice: in a file per person, newest first, and in a file per day, oldest first
- Each line says when, incoming or outgoing, FaceTime video, missed, and how long
- A person's file counts their calls, answered, missed, incoming, outgoing and the time on the phone, with a `tel:` link
- With Contacts connected, people are named from Contacts

## Where the files go

```
alto-index/calls/contacts/+447700900123.md
alto-index/calls/days/2026-09-28.md
```

## What you choose

- Tick the people to export; All, Recent and Popular help you find them
- Unticking a person removes their file and their calls from every day

## Free and paid

Your first 100 calls export and keep syncing free. Then one purchase unlocks Phone Calls: on its own, as one of any three apps, or with all of them. See [pricing](/pricing).

## With Claude

The [MCP server](/mcp) lets Claude Desktop search your calls, and `/altoindex:search` in the [Claude plugin](/claude-plugin) searches them with everything else.
