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.

Reminders to keep in touch and remember birthdays. Close personal relationships make life happier, healthier and longer. STORY: Hey everyone, I'm Kai - the guy behind Amicu. It’s great to catch up with someone you care about. But it's not so easy anymore. Your contacts are spread over many places. Mixed with people you don’t know. An avalanche of comments, posts, and texts cluttering everything up. It feels like a chore. No time for the joy of meeting up. And life changes. You move to new places. You change jobs. You travel and meet people, but they're abroad. You join events with cool people. But months of work follow. They stop to appear in feeds and inboxes. Instead of fun reunites relationships fade. I met people, while traveling, living abroad, and volunteering. Not all are on social media. Plus, who likes the distractions, ads, and privacy issues? So I made Amicu. It reminds you to catch up. You decide which people matter. After time reminders show up. Then it's your turn. Meet, call, or be creative. And your contacts should be no one’s business. With Amicu nothing leaves your device. That's it. No spam, privacy-invasion, customer relationships, or feeds. Simple and easy.
