You know that moment when someone says your name and you have absolutely no idea what theirs is? That "hey... you!" panic? Nametag helps you actually remember the names of the people you meet. Add a photo, attach a name, and practice until it sticks. Research-backed algorithms focus on the names you're struggling with while the ones you've nailed fade into the background. HOW IT WORKS - Add people from photos, screenshots, team pages, or group shots - Practice with quizzes, flashcards, and matching games - The app tracks what you know and drills what you don't - Add a memory association to anchor names to real moments ("Karen: coffee machine joke, day one") ORGANIZE YOUR PEOPLE - Create decks for your team, your class, your neighborhood, anything - Quiz one group or everyone at once - Track each person's status: Learning, Getting There, or Memorized BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - Completely offline. Subway, airplane, anywhere. - All data stays on your device. Nothing uploaded. Ever. - Speak names aloud or type them. Two minutes of practice goes a long way. Whether you're a teacher learning 120 student names, starting a new job and want to know everyone by Friday, or just tired of the "hey... you!" workaround, Nametag is a focused tool for a problem that bothers almost everyone. ------------ Terms: https://getnametag.app/terms | Privacy: https://getnametag.app/privacy
