About

Keep Reach

Read full description

Life gets busy, and the people you care about drift a little further every month. Keep Reach tells you who you haven't talked to in a while, so you can reach out before it's been too long. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick people from your contacts. 2. Choose how often you want to be in touch, from every day to once a year. 3. When someone is due, you get a reminder. Call, text, or meet up, then check in with a tap. Their next reminder starts counting from that day. WHAT YOU GET • See who's due at a glance. Your list is grouped into due now, due tomorrow, due in a week, due in a month, and later. • Get reminded at the right time. Each person gets their own reminder time: a quiet evening for an old friend, a lunch break for your mom. • Reach out in one tap. Call, text, email, or WhatsApp straight from their card. • Log it in a second. Swipe a row to check in, and note whether it was a call, a text, an email, or in person. • Never miss a birthday. Birthdays and other dates saved in your contacts show a countdown and get their own reminder. • Check in from the Home Screen. Widgets show who's due and let you check in without opening the app. • Add it to your calendar. Check-in reminders sync to the calendar you already use. • Look back. See every check-in with each person, and how you reached them. • Make it yours. Six accent colors, with light and dark mode. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no feed, no ads. Your contacts and check-ins stay on your device. FREE AND PREMIUM Keep Reach is free for up to 3 people, with check-in reminders and birthday reminders included. Premium unlocks unlimited people, Home Screen widgets, check-in history, calendar sync, and accent colors. Think of someone you've been meaning to call. Add them first.
