BringUp remembers what you want to say to the people who matter — and helps you bring it up at the right moment. Some reminders don't need a time. They need a person. BringUp keeps a gentle, private list for each person in your life: the article you meant to send your brother, the question for your manager, the story you keep forgetting to tell your best friend. CAPTURE IN SECONDS One tap, a few words, done. Add the person it's for and get back to your day. Attach a photo, a link, or a quick voice memo when words aren't enough. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything you save is private to you until you explicitly choose to share a specific item with a specific person. No feeds, no followers, no pressure. SHARE WHEN YOU'RE READY Open a shared space with your partner, a friend, or a small group. Items you share appear for both of you — and they get a gentle notification that you added something to bring up, never the contents. THEY'RE THINKING OF YOU, TOO See how many people have things waiting to bring up with you. Who they are stays a mystery until you both choose to connect. BEFORE YOU MEET Connect your calendar and BringUp quietly surfaces who you're about to see, so the right things come to mind at the right time. ALSO IN BRINGUP • Sign in with Apple or a simple email code — no passwords • Use several email addresses on one account • Reminders that respect your quiet hours • Agenda mode for walking through a conversation • Export or delete your data any time PRIVACY, FOR REAL Your address book never leaves your device. If you add someone's email or phone to a person card, only an irreversible code derived from it is used for mutual matching. Notifications never contain what you wrote. Deleting your account deletes your data.
