Recall is the personal CRM hiding inside your iOS Contacts. You already have hundreds of people in your phone. Recall adds the human context around them — birthdays, anniversaries, kids' names, gift ideas, notes from your last conversation — so you never blank on something that matters. It sits on top of the Contacts app you already use. Standard fields (name, phone, email) stay synced with iOS Contacts. The rest — the stuff that makes a relationship a relationship — lives only in Recall, on your device. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Birthdays and anniversaries, with a freeform label (Wedding / Met / Sober since / whatever) • Kids' names and birthdays — never forget a niece's birthday again • Per-contact notes for the little things (coffee order, dietary preferences, gift ideas) • Reminders that sync two-way to a dedicated "Recall" list in iOS Reminders — so Siri, Apple Watch, and Mac all see them • Social profile links with one-tap launch • Tags to organize your people (Family, Friend, Business, or whatever you make) • Call logs to track the cadence of your relationships WHAT YOU GET ON THE DASHBOARD • Today's birthdays and anniversaries with a celebratory hero • Reminders due for the day • "Upcoming in 30 days" — never get caught off guard • Smart Lists to slice your people (Birthdays this month, Kids' birthdays this quarter, etc.) • A gentle "maybe reach out?" card when contacts go quiet • Home screen widget showing what's next PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No ads • No in-app purchases • No tracking • No accounts to create • No servers — everything stays on your device Recall is for the people you orbit.
