Marbls is a private, on-device memory for the people you meet. Just met someone and know you'll forget the details by next week? Hold your phone and quietly say who they are. Marbls files them, or recognizes someone you've saved before and adds the new detail on top. No forms, no typing in the moment. Everything stays on your phone. No accounts, no cloud, no data ever leaves your device. This is a private dossier, not a social network. • Whisper to capture. Speak naturally and the app sorts out who's new and who you already know. • Remember what matters. Names, traits, where you met, how you met, and your own notes. • See how people connect. Build your own map of who knows whom. • Group your people. Create circles like Work, Neighbors, or Gym. • Map your places. Pin where you met people and find them by location. Never meet a stranger twice.

Remember Names's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
