About
Tethers is a calm, private relationship tracker for the people who matter most.
Life moves fast. Months pass before you realize you haven't called your college roommate, caught up with your mentor, or checked in on a friend going through something hard. Tethers helps you stay ahead of that drift, not with pressure, but with a gentle nudge at the right moment.
Organize by closeness
Put people into tiers — Inner Circle, Close, Regular, or whatever makes sense to you. Each tier has its own check-in rhythm. When it's been too long, you'll know.
Gentle nudges, not guilt
No streaks. No scores. No shame. Just a quiet daily reminder when someone could use a "hey, thinking of you." You set the pace, one nudge a day or five, whenever feels right.
Log the ways you actually connect
A quick call. A long catch-up in person. A birthday text. Tethers tracks how you connect (calls, texts, in-person visits, or anything else) so the picture of your relationships stays accurate over time.
Birthdays, remembered
Add birthdays and Tethers will quietly surface them before the day arrives, so you're never sending a late message again.
Relationship insights
See how your year looked: total check-ins, who you reached out to most, connection patterns by type, and which relationships might need a little more attention. Honest, useful, never judgmental.
Your data, and only yours
Everything in Tethers lives on your device. No accounts to create. No servers. No tracking. Your relationships are private, and they stay that way.
Tethers isn't about optimizing your social life. It's about not losing the people you care about to the noise of everyday life.
