About

You're not bad with names. You just never had a system. Namefinity helps you remember the names and faces of the people you actually meet: new colleagues, a friend's friends, everyone at the event whose name vanished the second after you heard it. Add people in seconds — from wherever they already are: • Choose photos from your camera roll, including group shots, and keep the faces you want. • Screenshot a list (a team page, a directory listing, a friends list) and Namefinity pulls out the names and faces for you. • Import from contacts — pick who to remember and their names and photos come across. • Meet someone new? Swap a QR code, or add them manually in a pinch. Then a two-minute daily practice makes them stick. Namefinity brings a name back right before you'd forget it. Get it right and it moves to a later box. Miss it and it comes back sooner. It's a proven memory technique (spaced repetition) doing the work quietly in the background. Built private, on purpose. Your people, photos, and notes stay on your phone. No off-device processing of your people data, no ads: photos are only ever seen by you. Export a readable copy of your names and notes whenever you like. Also inside: • Memory boxes that show who's solid and who's slipping. • Practice packs to train your memory on more than just people. • A gentle once-a-day nudge when names are ready (never more). Be suspiciously good with names.
