Your personal AI assistant for people and connections. Sticky notes that show up when it matters. Just ask. Cresca keeps track of the people in your life, so you don't have to. Say it, type it or snap it. Cresca turns it into a sticky note, files it under the right person, and brings it back when it matters. • Capture what happened. Speak it, type it, or add a photo, a video, a file or a link. It's saved right away, and with AI on, Cresca sorts it out for you. • One place for each person. Who they are, what you talked about, what you promised. Cresca suggests where things belong and you have the last word. • Organize your memory. Keep notes in memories, and archive what you're done with so it stops cluttering your lists. • Just ask. "What did we discuss with Acme?" Ask Cresca about anyone or anything you've saved. The answer comes back with the notes it was drawn from. Photos, files and short videos can go with your question. • Groups. Share posts and ask questions together with the people you do things with. • Summaries you can lean on. Before you see someone again, read back what matters instead of scrolling months of notes. • Reminders and your own schedule. Put a reminder on any person, note or recording, keep your own events, and keep them in sync with your iPhone Calendar. • Record meetings. Long recordings keep going in the background. Afterwards Cresca turns them into a transcript and a short summary. • Your card, one tap. Share it by QR, NFC, or Apple Wallet, and keep everyone you meet. • On your wrist. The Apple Watch app shows your badge QR code and inbox, and records voice memos. • Made for events. Create and manage events, check people in, and never lose the thread. No feed. No public profile. No display ads. Your data is never used to train AI, and you can turn AI off any time in Settings. You can delete your account and data from the app.
