You care about the people in your life — life just gets in the way. KeepClose keeps you gently present with them: it shows who you've drifted from and how long it's been, nudges you when it's time to reach out, and remembers every conversation so you never start from scratch. What you can do with it: • See at a glance who needs you — and who's doing fine • Set how often to reach out for each person or group — family every two weeks, old friends once a month • Get birthday and anniversary alerts pulled from your contacts • Keep a private timeline of what each person shared, so you remember what matters to them • Build a "Holding Close" list for the people you're praying for or thinking of deeply • Call, text, or FaceTime in one tap Your relationships stay yours. KeepClose runs entirely on your iPhone — no account, no server, no third party ever sees your data. The people you care about never become data points. Free for 7 days, then $1.99/month or $19.99/year. Your subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
