## What is CatchUp?

Free with no ads! Supported 100% by tips.

Keep in touch with your friends, family, business associates, and anyone else in your iOS Contacts list with CatchUp. Set reminders for the contacts you choose, and get notified when it's time to CatchUp with them again.

Set these up as recurring reminders, like every week or month, or a custom day that you pick. Regardless of your choice, you can choose the time of day that you get the notification.

Step One: Add Contacts
Step Two: Set your Notification Preference (how often you want to be reminded to catch up with that individual)
Step Three: There is no step three

Features:
– Receive daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, or custom reminders to catch up with your contacts, even when not connected to the internet
– Automatic reminders for contacts' birthdays/anniversaries if you have them set in your Contacts app
- A grid of your upcoming catchups
- Unread indicators for contacts it's time to CatchUp with
- Pull down on the home screen to update your contacts' pictures and information
- Automatic cloud syncing with other Apple devices
– Full light and dark mode support
– No ads

CatchUp is free and has no ads. This is a passion project that honestly helps me out, and I'd rather not muddy the waters with advertising I can't control. If you'd like to support development, you are welcome to leave a tip in the Tip Jar within the app.

A note on privacy:
I store NONE of your contacts or any of your personal information. The contacts you choose and the preferences you set for them are stored locally on your device, and are never sent anywhere else. Read my full privacy policy at https://www.ryantoken.com/privacy-policy

### 1/5 — Great idea but missing things. I could make a better app with AI

*2026-04-28, version 3.2.1*

Add option for comments

### 3/5 — Last contact date

*2026-04-19, version 3.2.1*

I wish they was a tab to show when you last contacted them. Also a tab to add notes.

### 3/5 — Nice, but missing functionality

*2025-12-30, version 3.2.1*

Simple and looks good.
However if I contact someone before it’s time, there doesn’t seem to be a way to tell the app that and postpone the next notification

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2025-12-25, version 3.2.1*

Useful to keep track of things

Would love to have more check in options (especially every two weeks, twice a year)

### 4/5 — Notes

*2025-11-20, version 3.2.1*

I would love to see a Note attached to catch up’s so I can quickly recall what I had wanted to share or remember! Great app, wonderful idea, thank you so much!

### 5/5 — App works again! Very helpful reminders to connect with long-distance friends.

*2025-11-19, version 3.2.1*

I‘m updating my low rating as this latest version (v3.2.1) now works on iOS 26 with an older iPhone. App is now stable and running great. Thanks for such a great tool!

### 1/5 — Was great, now app constantly crashes

*2025-11-16*

Been using for a year, but app is basically unusable since the last major iOS update. Contacted dev weeks ago with a response but no follow through. Bummer.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-10-25, version 3.2.0*

Good

### 1/5 — Idée

*2025-09-29, version 3.2.0*

Je vois que la barre de cherche est très pratique pour votre apps merci

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-09-11, version 3.1.3*

The app is completely unresponsive now.
iPhone 16, iOS 18.6.2
