Make time for your people. Piplo helps you keep a simple rhythm for staying in touch. See who is due today and get ahead with upcoming connections. Choose focused cards or a compact queue. Record a connection, snooze for a day or skip to the next occurrence. Set a cadence for each relationship and edit the next date without losing your history. Keep private notes, organize people into circles and review past connections. Add someone manually, choose contacts from your iPhone or import a vCard file. JSON import and export move people, schedules, history and preferences between Piplo clients. Use private iCloud backup with your iPhone's iCloud account, or choose a separate Google workspace backed up to Piplo's hidden Drive app-data folder. Google access does not include your other Drive files or Google Contacts. Accounts keep separate workspaces; switching providers does not copy or merge data. Changes save on your device and sync automatically when the chosen cloud provider is available. Optional iPhone reminders follow your notification preferences. Light and dark appearances keep the interface readable without changing your schedule. No ads or in-app purchases. Questions or privacy requests: paul.gedeon@gmail.com
