Your friend tells you about an incredible restaurant. A coworker mentions a book that changed their life. Your sister texts about a show you'd love. Three weeks later, you remember none of it. Try/Keep captures recommendations from the people you trust, so you actually try them, and closes the loop by letting friends know when you do. How it works: Capture what someone recommends, who suggested it, and why Organize into simple buckets: Want to Try, Loved It, Try Again, Not For Me When you love something, share feedback back to the person who recommended it with one tap No AI. No tracking. No login. No algorithm. Your data stays on your device. Your tries are your own. Just recommendations from people you actually know and trust. Not what some feed thinks you should see.
