This app helps you manage follow-ups with your contacts by adding them to a rotating queue. Tap on a contact to call or text, and they'll automatically move to the bottom of the list. This allows all of your contacts to rotate to the top of your list and stay fresh in your mind. The recent tab shows who you have contacted in the last 7 days. The overdue tab shows contacts you have not connected with in 30 days or more.
