Buckets is the AI-Powered Contact Exchange + Personalized CRM for busy founders, builders & professionals that need to grow and maintain their social, personal and business networks. Buckets focuses on reducing the friction of exchanging multiple pieces of information with a new contact in person, allowing you to stay authentic in the conversation and garner a true connection. Control the data you share by picking and choosing just the social and contact information you feel comfortable sharing with a new friend. They can quickly "share back" the same or different info and you both can see when and where you've met, in case you forget their name after a long night of networking and meeting new people. Tag new friends with categorical and informative "Bucket tags" for later recall so you can quickly find the investor you need to follow up with, the classmate you wanted to share that podcast with or that potential new friend you wanted to grab drinks with. Automate reaching out with our Workflows feature which allows you to have AI summarize your notes on a connection and draft an email to them on a recurring cadence. Buckets ensures you don't just gather information, but you leverage it, to see your career, social or love opportunities to their fullest potential. • Auto-renewable subscription • 1 year ($59.99) duration • Your subscription will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew (at the duration selected) unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Current subscription may not be cancelled during the active subscription period; however, you can manage your subscription and/or turn off auto-renewal by visiting your iTunes Account Settings after purchase • Privacy Policy: https://www.use-buckets.app/privacy-policy • Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ • Terms of Service: https://www.use-buckets.app/terms-of-conditions
