Intro is an app for things you want to remember. Intro brings together notes and contacts, in context. In Intro, the Global Timeline presents your latest info, right to hand for quick access. Keep track of people you meet. Intro is designed to help you keep track of people you meet, information you want to recall, and the links between them. Take quick notes, and link them to the relevant people, groups and events that make up their context. Add detail over time. Private by design. Intro is designed to be your 100% private knowledge store, when you need it. Intro provides sync using your private iCloud account, if you chose to enable it, but never sends any information anywhere else. We don’t copy your information to our servers… we don’t even have any servers. You are the only one with access to your data. For good. Advanced search options. Search people by physical characteristics you’ve tagged them with, or just with fragments of information you recall from their details or your notes. Track back through links and connections you’ve made to find that piece of information you need, whether it’s a name, an idea, a piece of information, or a promise. Manage contact info. Manage it within Intro privately, or optionally sync some or all of the people you add with the Contacts app. Or don’t sync anyone at all. It’s up to you. Learn your contacts’ names. Intro includes an errorless learning tool that trains your brain. It makes names stick. When you use this proven method, you’ll be amazed to find the names that you’ve learned will just come to mind when you need them. Real support. Intro offers real support, though a chat mechanism inside the app to get personal help from Intro’s developer, Dr Duncan Babbage. If you have a question, just ask. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
