You're not disconnected. You just didn't follow up. VESTAL is the app that remembers who you meant to reach out to. You name the people who matter and how you want to stay in touch, and VESTAL tracks how long it has been, so nobody slips a year without you noticing. HOW IT WORKS Add the people who matter, and how you want to stay in touch. See one honest, private view of who you're drifting from and by how long. Read back the reason you gave when you added them, in your own words. Turn a quiet stretch into a real plan, with a day and time that fits your week. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT VESTAL helps hold you accountable to maintaining relationships the way you said you wanted. You write, in your own words, what you want a relationship to be. "The friend I never lose touch with." "Call him like I mean it." Months later, when the gap opens, those are the words you see again. Reminders get ignored. Plans happen. VESTAL integrates with your calendar and proposes a real day and time, so a nudge turns into dinner on Friday. VESTAL is honest without being harsh. Someone you add today starts fresh, never already behind. There is no streak to protect and no scoreboard to feed. Miss a week and nothing punishes you. VESTAL encourages you to show up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN You pick one person at a time from the standard iOS picker, and their number, email, and photo stay on your phone. Calendar access is only for plans, and only when you tap to make one. VESTAL checks the day you pick for free time and helps write the plan as you lock it in. VESTAL never sends anything on your behalf and never contacts anyone for you. Message text stays on your phone. What syncs is who you added and when you reached out, so your roster survives a new phone. FREE FOR 3 PEOPLE VESTAL is free for up to 3 people, with no time limit. Pick your three and run the whole loop: the honest view, your own words, and plans that happen. VESTAL PRO Pro removes the limit on people and unlocks the Met tab, where you keep the names and details of people you just met until they earn a spot. Pro is $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, and every new subscription starts with 1 month free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Service: https://getvestal.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getvestal.app/privacy
