A word-of-mouth referral app — no download required

Mobile referral marketing that feels like an app, runs in the browser.

Looking for a word-of-mouth referral app? ReferLyst is mobile-first SaaS — curators and businesses build referral lists in the dashboard; audiences open share links in the phone browser with tap-to-call, intro requests, and shop tabs. No App Store install for you or your customers.

The problem

Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

  • Native referral apps are overkill for local word of mouth
  • Audiences won't download another app to see your recommendations
  • Contact-card photos and PDFs aren't tappable on mobile
  • You need something that works from Instagram bio and group chats instantly
