You meet someone at an event. Great conversation. You exchange cards. Two weeks later you want to reach out, but you can't remember their name, their company, or what the conversation was about. Your notes app has nothing. You do nothing. Met fixes this. Capture who you met. In seconds. Add context while it's still fresh. Find them weeks later by searching any fragment you remember. No account. No subscription. No cloud. Everything stays on your phone. CAPTURE: THREE WAYS, UNDER 10 SECONDS Business card scan: point your camera at a card. Met reads it with on-device OCR and extracts name, job title, company, email, phone, website, LinkedIn URL, and address automatically. Review, confirm, done. LinkedIn QR scan: ask them to show their QR code and scan it. No connection request, no login. The profile URL is captured instantly. Also works from the edit screen. Quick manual add: type a name. That is the only required field. Add the rest now or later. VOICE NOTES THAT BECOME SEARCHABLE TEXT Right after meeting someone, tap record and speak for 20 seconds. "Works at Speedinvest, Series A B2B. Knows Mahdi. Into watches. Reach out after launch." Done. Faster than typing three words. Met transcribes every voice note directly on-device with Whisper AI. No audio ever leaves your phone. No internet required. The transcript is added to the search index. Two weeks later, "VC watches" finds the right person, even though you never typed that word. Three quality levels: Low (75 MB), Medium (150 MB), High (490 MB), fully offline. ADD CONTEXT IN SECONDS Right after capture, Met asks for context no other app asks for: Text note: anything else worth remembering, typed freely. Event: which conference, dinner, or meetup you met them at. Category: auto-detected from job title and company. Follow-up: star them to surface later when you're ready to reach out. Photo: optional camera or library pick. FIND ANYONE INSTANTLY Search hits everything at once: names, companies, job titles, text notes, voice note transcripts, categories, and event names. "VC watches Vienna" finds Markus. Watches was only ever spoken in a voice note. "INSIDEOUT" shows everyone from that event. "Mahdi" surfaces anyone you mentioned Mahdi about in any note. LOG EVERY INTERACTION Every coffee, call, and meeting gets logged as an interaction. Title, date, voice note, text note, all transcribed and searchable. A full relationship history, not just a static contact card. EVENTS: WHERE YOU MET THEM Create an event before you go. Everyone you add gets tagged to it automatically. Afterwards, pull up every person you met there in one tap. SMART CATEGORIES 25 categories across Business and Personal modes. Auto-detected. Up to two per person. Filter by both simultaneously. Rename any category. PRIVACY: TOTAL AND NON-NEGOTIABLE Everything on your device. No account. No cloud. No ads. No tracking. On-device OCR and AI. No photos or audio sent anywhere. GDPR compliant. One-time purchase. No subscription, ever. OPTIONAL: PUSH TO YOUR CRM If you want contacts in a CRM (Zapier, Make, n8n, Twenty, HubSpot, Notion), connect a webhook URL in Settings. Met sends the contact as JSON to your endpoint. Fully optional. Nothing leaves your device unless you set this up. Met is not a CRM. Not a sales tool. Not a pipeline. It is a personal people memory for founders, investors, and anyone who meets a lot of people and cannot afford to lose them. Download Met and start remembering everyone you meet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Met at none against SYNCING.NET's 2. SYNCING.NET's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
