Be that friend who remembers everyone. You just met someone. Tap the mic, say what you noticed, and That Friend draws their face and keeps their story. Next time you see them, a ten second skim and you pick up right where you left off. DESCRIBE SOMEONE. GET A FACE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET. You can't ask a stranger to pose for a photo, but you can say what they looked like. That Friend turns your words into a portrait, so the name has a face attached. PARTY MODE Twenty people at a dinner table. Tap, say a name and a few words, tap again. A few seconds each. Everyone's grouped under that event, and you clean the list up later. FIND SOMEONE BY DESCRIPTION Can't recall a name? Say "the guy with the red beard from church who fishes" and he comes up. A MAP OF EVERYONE YOU'VE MET See where you met people. Back in the neighborhood? Here's who you met last time. NO STUDYING No flashcards, no quizzes, no spaced repetition. Capture in seconds, read in seconds. YOUR PEOPLE STAY ON YOUR PHONE No account.
