You're Early Velle is new, and the people here now are the ones who will shape it. As a founding member, you keep your founding price for as long as you stay subscribed, and you're invited into our beta circle to try new features first. Write to hello@velleapp.com and you'll hear back from the person who built it. The birthdays live in your head. The gift ideas pile up in Notes, the addresses somewhere in Contacts, the rest on a list you keep meaning to make. You hold it all because these are people you love, but it's scattered across a dozen apps, and none of them were built for this. Velle brings it into one private place: the people who matter and everything you want to remember about them, so you can show up for them the way you mean to. People, and What You'd Otherwise Forget The heart of Velle is the people themselves. Bring in who you already have from Apple Contacts, then add the things a contacts app never held: birthdays and anniversaries, interests, sizes, gift preferences, how you know them, and any note worth keeping. Every date gathers into one calm view of the days ahead, so nothing important arrives by surprise. Gifts, Given and Received Keep a running list of gift ideas for each person with a title, a link, and a budget, then follow one from idea to purchased to given. Just as important, log the gifts you receive, so when someone is generous you remember to return the thoughtfulness. Record what was given, what it cost, and how it landed. Next year starts from something real instead of a blank page. Hosting, Handled Plan the dinner, the kids' party, the holiday open house. Build a guest list from households, individuals, or groups, and track each reply as yes, no, maybe, or no response, rolled up by household at a glance ("Smith Family: 2 attending, 1 declined"). Keep a to-do list for the things around it, whether that's getting the cake recipe from Mom or ordering new tablecloths, and check off your thank-you notes once the day has passed. Households and Correspondence Velle is built around homes, not just a flat list of names. Group people into households, store a home address and a separate mailing address, and set how each household likes to be addressed, whether "The Smith Family" or "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." When it's time for cards, Velle formats the envelope so it's ready to hand off for printing. Groups That Do the Work Gather the holiday card list, the family, the friends who always get invited together. Smart groups build themselves from relationship type. Manual groups are yours to shape. Reuse them anywhere you address, invite, or gift. Private by Design No account. No cloud. No sign-in. Your relationships never reach us because they never leave your phone. Nothing to breach, nothing to sell, nothing to mine. The data is yours, and only yours. Be the one who remembers. Velle Unlimited is a subscription, billed monthly or annually. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and the subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Winix Smart at none against Velle RM's 3. Winix Smart also leads on ratings volume (36K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Velle RM's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
