Queue is the contacts app that should have come with your phone. It helps you be the thoughtful person you’ve always wanted to be, even if you’re terrible at keeping in touch. *Your people* Add people from your iPhone contacts, Google contacts, your calendar, and LinkedIn, and choose how often you'd like to catch up — every few weeks, every few months, or just when it counts. *Your catch ups* Meetings with people in your queue on your Apple or Google Calendar count as catch ups automatically, and you can record a catch up yourself any time too. *Your reminders* Get a nudge when it's been a while, when it's someone's birthday or anniversary, and when someone in your queue starts a new job. *Your notes* Queue reminds you after each catch up to think about how it went and jot down a few notes, then makes sure they're handy the next time you reach out. — *Even better with Queue for macOS* Queue knows when you've emailed, texted, called, or FaceTimed someone in your queue and logs the catch up for you. No manual updating, ever. Meetings on your Apple Calendar or Google Calendar sync automatically too. Email and text message content is analyzed entirely on your own Mac using Apple's on-device models. Conversation summaries are stored securely in your private iCloud, and they never reach Queue’s servers. — I'm Jeremy and I make Queue. I charge a subscription to keep it running, and you can try it free. I hope you find it valuable. Email me any time with questions or feedback at jeremy@queue.community.
