A lightweight, AI-powered personal CRM — for people who follow up, not file paperwork. Speak or type a quick note after any meeting, call, or intro — a client, a prospect, a contact you just met. AI transcribes it, extracts the people, dates, and follow-ups, and files everything into one timeline per relationship. No forms. No CRM busywork. For your work: + A CRM without the Salesforce tax — built for sales reps, freelancers, consultants, and founders. + Speak a note after every meeting. AI surfaces the next action and sets the reminder. + Sort prospects by who's gone cold. Reach out before they ghost. And for the rest of your life: + Remember the kid's name, the trip they're nervous about, the book they loved. + Birthday and anniversary reminders a week before, not the day of. + Show up like the friend they remember. What AI does for you: + Transcribes — dictate as long as you want, AI handles the audio. + Extracts — names, dates, follow-ups, preferences, family, gift ideas. + Understands natural language — "next Friday," "before the launch," "in two weeks." + Summarizes — every relationship on one scannable page. + Surfaces the next action — what to say, when to reach out, what they care about. The rest of the app: + Smart reminders — a week before, not the day of. + Export your data anytime — full Markdown history or CSV contacts. Your relationships stay yours. All data lives on your iPhone. Keep uses AI to summarize and structure your notes, never to store them. No accounts required, no cloud sync of personal data, no selling your contacts.

Contacts Magic is a personal relationship manager that remembers what matters — what you talked about, what they care about, when to follow up. Talk to it in your own words: tell it what happened, ask it what you've forgotten. It understands who you're talking about and handles the rest. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS DESERVE BETTER THAN YOUR MEMORY Your friend mentioned her mom's surgery — you meant to check in. Your college roommate's kid started school — when was that again? The details that make you a thoughtful person fade in 48 hours. Contacts Magic keeps them forever. HOW IT WORKS • After a coffee, a phone call, a party — describe what happened in your own words. No forms, no fields. Magic Chat understands what you said and organizes it into the right contacts, journal entries, and follow-up reminders. Say "last Thursday" or "in a couple weeks" — it handles dates naturally too. • Need to remember something? Ask. "Where does Sarah work?" "What does my dad like?" "What should I get him for Christmas?" Magic Chat searches everything you've captured and answers in a conversation. • Before your next call or meetup, you know exactly what's happening in someone's life and what you promised. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BE THOUGHTFUL • Relationship context beyond phone numbers and email addresses — how you met, what they care about, your shared history • Follow-up reminders with full context so you know why you're reaching out • A journal tied to people, capturing conversations and moments over time • Groups and tags to organize your circles — family, book club, neighbors, coworkers • Full-text search across contacts, journals, and follow-ups WORKS THE WAY YOU ALREADY USE YOUR PHONE • Siri and Shortcuts for hands-free capture while walking, driving, or between meetings • Home screen widgets for upcoming follow-ups at a glance • Syncs across iPhone and iPad through your iCloud account YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything syncs through your personal iCloud account. When you use Magic Chat, what you say and the relationship details needed to answer your question are sent to our AI provider for that single request. We don't keep your data, our AI provider doesn't either, and none of it is used to train AI models. Remember the people who matter. Download Contacts Magic and stop relying on your memory to be a good friend. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
