Discover, organize, and deepen all your personal and professional relationships with Mesh, a beautiful and intuitive contacts app, lightweight CRM, and more. Formerly known as Clay — same app, new name! People make us laugh, challenge us to improve, support us when things are tough, and celebrate with us once they get better. But staying in touch with the people that matter thoughtfully is difficult. TRY MESH FOR FREE Before Mesh, being thoughtful required relying on your memory as well as a mix of spreadsheets, notecards, address books, and other tools. In addition to being difficult to manage, this approach let important relationships, moments, and context fall through the cracks. That’s why we created Mesh—a stunning, intuitive, and private home for your relationships, built automatically from your email, calendar, address book, LinkedIn, Twitter, and iMessage. Mesh helps you show up informed by creating and automatically updating beautiful cards for each of your contacts with context such as profile photos, bios, education and work history, location, and social profiles. In addition, you can use powerful features such as natural-language search, dictation and note taking, reminders, birthday notifications, news articles about people you know, reconnection cadences, and more to deepen your relationships over time. REMEMBER THE IMPORTANT THINGS Mesh is the fastest and most powerful way to take notes before, during, and after a conversation with someone. Remember kids names, vacation itineraries, and that last article you read that you’ve been dying to share, all by writing a note on someone's card. REACH OUT AT THE RIGHT MOMENT Set a reminder for particular days—like a birthday or anniversary—or pick a reconnection cadence so you don’t lose touch. ORGANIZE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS Dinner party faves? Book club? High school friends? Easily add people to groups so you can organize people however makes sense to you. Then, use those groups to make organizing events easier and faster. SEARCH LIKE YOU THINK You remember people in different ways—where you last met to catch up, when you last saw them, what you talked about. Just type what comes to mind and Mesh will find the right person or group of people based on your notes and their profile, all in milliseconds. It's the easiest, most powerful person search available anywhere. STAY ON TOP OF THINGS Never miss a beat with Home—a powerful, high-level view of all the updates from your entire network. Be the first to congratulate someone when they change jobs or when they're mentioned in thousands of top print and digital publications.

ACTIQO helps families coordinate everything around kids’ activities — sports, practices, lessons, clubs, school activities, and events — without replacing the calendars they already use. Your calendar knows when practice starts. ACTIQO helps with everything around it: leave times, Game Plans, responsibilities, preparation, reminders, costs, Check-Ins, caregivers, and insights over time. CONNECT THE SCHEDULE YOU ALREADY HAVE Bring your Google Calendar and Apple Calendar activity schedules into ACTIQO, then turn upcoming activities into something your family can actually act on. KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING See today’s activities, who needs to be where, drive time, leave-time guidance, and important details in one family activity picture. KNOW WHO’S HANDLING IT Coordinate drop-off, pickup, preparation, activity leads, backups, and caregiver handoffs. Everyone seeing the schedule is useful. Knowing who owns the next step is better. OPEN THE GAME PLAN Every activity can have a Game Plan with what to bring, who’s responsible, preparation items, watchouts, reminders, snack information, and readiness in one place. CARRY LESS OF IT IN YOUR HEAD Get reminders before activities, leave-time alerts, and post-activity Check-Ins. On supported iPhones, Live Activities can keep upcoming activity information visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. UNDERSTAND THE REAL COMMITMENT Youth sports, lessons, clubs, and extracurricular activities involve more than registration fees. Track expenses alongside scheduled activity time and driving so you can understand what each activity is really asking of your family. SEE HOW IT’S ACTUALLY GOING Quick Check-Ins capture attendance, enjoyment, energy, and notes worth remembering. Sunday Read and Insights help bring those moments together so you can see patterns over time instead of isolated calendar entries. TRY A CHANGE Explore what adding, removing, or changing an activity could mean for your family before changing the real schedule. Consider the bigger picture across time, money, energy, and coordination. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE VILLAGE Bring parents and caregivers into the same activity picture with shared schedules, Game Plans, responsibilities, and important details. SNACK ROTATION WITHOUT THE GROUP CHAT Create a snack rotation, share a link, and let parents claim their date — no ACTIQO account required for participants. ACTIQO is Family Activity Intelligence: coordination for today and clearer decisions over time. Terms of Use: https://actiqo.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://actiqo.app/privacy
