YOUR BRAIN HAS A LIMIT. YOUR HEART DOESN'T. Science tells us the human mind can only truly know about 150 people. Beyond that, the details blur. Names get mixed up. Important dates are forgotten. Deep connections fade into generic "contacts." We drift apart not because we don't care, but because we can't remember. Dunbar is the expansion pack for your social memory. BE THE FRIEND WHO REMEMBERS The one who knows the partner's name, the allergy, the difficult anniversary, and the exact bottle of wine they mentioned three months ago. Dunbar handles the memory work; you take the credit. CAPTURE WITHOUT FRICTION Speak your thoughts—Dunbar transcribes them instantly. See something worth remembering? Snap a photo and let AI extract the details. No typing, no friction, no forgotten notes. KNOW WHO MATTERS MOST Organise your world into circles: your Inner 5, your Close 15, your broader 150. Dunbar tracks relationship health and gently nudges you before connections start to fade. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Real friendship is private. Your memories, notes, and relationships live on your device—not in a cloud database. We don't sell your social graph. We protect it. Biology says 150. Dunbar helps you care for them all. Welcome to your Inner Circle. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
