Memo helps you remember the people who matter, and show up for them. We all have friends we mean to call, birthdays we forget, and little details that slip away. Memo is a calm, private space to keep your people close: who they are, what's going on in their lives, and when to reach out. No feeds. No noise. No guilt. Just a gentle nudge before you drift, and a place to remember why these people matter. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Keep everyone in one place: friends, family, anyone you don't want to lose touch with • Remember the small things: notes for each person, their dog's name, the new job, the thing they were nervous about • Reminders that fit your rhythm: weekly for close friends, every few months for the rest • Journal your life and the moments you share: a big catch-up, a milestone, or an ordinary day worth keeping • Never miss a birthday PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your friends, notes, and journal entries stay on your device. We run no analytics, use no third-party trackers, show no ads, and sell nothing. The only thing on our server is the identifier and email from Sign in with Apple, so you can sign back in on a new device. You can delete your account, and everything with it, in two taps.
