## What is Close By?

Life gets busy. Months pass. You think about the people you love, and then you feel guilty for not reaching out. Close By gently reminds you when someone's ready for a check-in. No nagging. No scores. Just a quiet nudge.

STAY CLOSE, YOUR WAY
Pick a small circle: family, close friends, the person you keep meaning to call. Set how often you'd like to stay in touch. Close By handles the rest.

REACH OUT IN ONE TAP
Message, call, FaceTime, WhatsApp, or email, directly from the app, using the channels you already use. No copy-pasting numbers.

LOG IT IN SECONDS
Did you connect? Tap to log it. Your next reminder schedules itself automatically.

SNOOZE WHEN LIFE GETS IN THE WAY
Not the right moment? Snooze to tomorrow, the weekend, next week, or a custom date, without pretending you already reached out.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything stays on your iPhone. No account. No cloud. No contact data sent anywhere. Close By never writes to your address book.

FREE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Close By is completely free. No monthly fee, no auto-renew, and no ads. Just a calm way to stay in touch.

Close By is not a CRM. It won't score your friendships, track your relationship health, or tell you you've been neglecting anyone. It's a calm, private assistant for the relationships that matter most.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-19

The feedback option in Settings was greyed out and couldn't be tapped. That's fixed, so you can reach us again.

Report crashes properly, which means problems get found and fixed a lot faster. Analytics stay anonymous, and you can turn them off anytime in Settings.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-11

When your circle is full, Close By now explains it clearly instead of leaving you stuck.
You'll see how to make room: archive someone you're not keeping up with right now, and their notes, dates, and history stay saved for whenever you want to restore them.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-11

Close By has a fresh new look: a calmer "Harbour Light" palette, refreshed screens, and a brand-new app icon, in both light and dark mode. Same app, same reminders, everything right where you left it.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-08

No release notes.
