LinkNote
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ever know someone's name but not who they are? Business cards pile up. Your contacts list runs into the hundreds. Yet you can't recall who introduced you, or the name of their kid you asked about last time. The people keep growing. Your memory doesn't. That gap shows up at the next meeting. The moment you ask something they already told you, they feel it: "They don't remember me." In sales, beauty, coaching, freelancing β any work where people are the work β that one moment decides the next contract or the next visit. Your contacts app stores numbers. It doesn't store relationships. LinkNote draws the people you know and the connections between them as dots and lines. Instead of a list, you see the actual structure of your relationships. Open the map right before a meeting and in 10 seconds you know how everyone connects and what you last talked about. β See distance at a glance People are colored by how close they are to you, so you spot who's near and who's drifting. β Sort by group Split people into groups and tags β work, clients, hobbies β and show only the connections you need. β Record on your own terms Create the fields you need for each person: preferences, family, who introduced them, anything. Notes have no length limit. β Log who you met Attach people to a daily entry and keep track of who you met and when. LinkNote also shows who you haven't seen in a while. β Check-in reminders Get a nudge at a time you choose about people you've lost touch with. β Insights LinkNote reads your map and tells you where connections cluster and where they're thin. β Straight from the home screen Long-press the app icon to add a person, write today's entry, or search. β Stays on your device People, connections and entries are stored only on this device and never sent to a server. Save a backup file and bring everything to your new phone. β Contacts never leave When you add from Contacts, only the people you pick are saved inside the app.
