Every interaction matters. Social media was supposed to bring us closer together. Instead, it's filled with content from strangers and ads designed to steal your attention. Touchpnt is different. Touchpnt helps you build meaningful relationships with the people who matter most — and keeps you engaged through gamification. Set a cadence for reaching out to friends, family, clients, and coworkers. Earn streak scores and badges every time you follow through. When you have something to lose, you'll pick up the phone. And what you stand to gain — deeper connectedness, stronger love, and real meaning in your life — is beyond your imagination. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a contact from your phone and choose a cadence (daily, weekly, monthly, or custom up to 365 days) 2. Mark them as Personal or Business and set your preferred contact method — Call, Text, or Meetup 3. When it's time to reach out, tap to call or text directly from the app 4. Complete your Touchpnt to build your streak and climb the badge ladder FEATURES • Question of the Day — a mind-bending new question every day: an icebreaker that leads to deeper conversations • Color-coded status dots — see at a glance who's overdue (red), due today (blue), due tomorrow (yellow), or upcoming (green) • Smart sorting — contacts who need attention most are always at the top • 10 badge tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Platinum, Onyx, and Diamond. Build streaks up to 500+ • Activity chart — visualize your weekly connection habits on your profile • Personal & Business filters — separate work contacts from friends and family • Quick actions — call, text, or log a meetup in one tap from the home screen • Notes — remember the little things like kids' names, birthdays, or conversation topics • Push notifications — gentle daily reminders at the time you choose WHY TOUCHPNT? Research shows we're more disconnected than ever. The average young adult spends 6.5 hours per day on screens, and less than 7% of the posts you see are from people you actually follow. Touchpnt helps you take back your time and invest it in the relationships that actually matter. No feed. No algorithm. No ads even in the free tier. Just you and the people you care about.
