Ever felt like your social life is just… a lot to keep track of? We’ve all been there. You meet someone amazing, have a great "vibe check," and then… you forget their dog’s name. Or worse, you accidentally bring up a topic they’re trying to avoid. For the ADHD mind, "Time Blindness" and "Social Burnout" are real. That’s why we built People Note—your social second brain. It’s not a boring contact list; it’s a living map of your world. WHY PEOPLE NOTE? People Note sits right between your basic Contacts and a heavy CRM. It’s designed for those who care deeply about their people but need a little help remembering the "Lowdown." WHAT’S INSIDE? -> The Roster: Forget boring A-Z lists.

Remember what matters to the people you love. FriendVault is a private journal for your friends and family. Write down what you talked about, keep gift ideas in one place, and never miss a birthday again. Everything stays on your phone: no account, no ads, no tracking. WHY FRIENDVAULT Life gets busy. Months slip by, a birthday sneaks up on you, and you can't remember the name of your friend's new job or new partner. FriendVault helps you show up for the people who matter, with the little details that make them feel remembered. WRITE IT DOWN After a call, a coffee or a message, add a line or two. Next time, FriendVault shows you what you talked about, so you can ask how the job interview went or whether the trip was as good as planned. Dinner with a group of friends? Log it once for everyone. NEVER MISS A BIRTHDAY Get a notification on the day, see how old they're turning, and keep gift ideas from first spark to wrapped. Add the home screen widget to see who's coming up at a glance. STAY IN TOUCH, YOUR WAY Choose how often you'd like to hear from each person: every week, every month or every few months. FriendVault gently lets you know when it's been a while. Call, text, WhatsApp, Signal or email them straight from their profile, and log it with one tap afterwards. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal lives only on your phone. There's no account to create and nothing is uploaded. Save an encrypted backup (AES-256, protected by your own PIN) to iCloud, Google Drive or anywhere you like, and restore it on a new phone in a minute. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE - Profiles with photos, birthdays, addresses and pinned notes - One journal for calls, messages, meet-ups and notes - Birthday, reminder and keep-in-touch notifications - Gift tracker, from idea to given - Tags, relationship circles and sorting by birthday or who's due - Calendar and timeline views, plus insights for each person - Import from your phone's contacts in seconds - Home screen widget on iPhone and Android - Siri shortcuts on iPhone ("Log a chat in FriendVault") - Dark mode, in English, German, French and Spanish TRY IT FREE, THEN OWN IT Every feature is free for 14 days, with no sign-up.
