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. Organize your inner circle into "Day Ones," "Besties," and "The Board." See who you’ve vibed with recently and who needs some love. -> The Connection Map: Visualize your world. See how your friends, family, and colleagues overlap in a stunning, interactive Mind Map. -> The No-Go Zone : Avoid the awkwardness. Save "Red Flag" topics you should skip during your next catch-up. -> Social Pulse: Track your social energy with beautiful, ADHD-friendly charts. See where your time goes and keep your "Social Battery" in check. -> Interaction Logs: Did you grab coffee? Have a deep talk? Log it in two taps. Linking one interaction to multiple legends is now easier than ever. PRIVACY-FIRST. NO BS. Your relationships are personal, and your data should be too. -> 100% On-Device: Everything stays on your iPhone. -> No Tracking: We don’t see your business. No ads, no data mining. -> Encrypted Backups: Your memories are locked tight for your eyes only. STOP GHOSTING. START CONNECTING. Whether you’re managing a "Hustle" network or just trying to be a better friend to your "Day Ones," People Note helps you show up as the best version of yourself. Join our community of 5.000+ "Relationship Architects" and start mapping your world today.

About

Hermes is a place to meet yourself. It holds four connected spaces — Dreams, Synchronicities, Psyche, and Astrology — and the magic is in how they speak to each other. A dream rhymes with a chance encounter. A pattern in your chart surfaces in a quiet inner dialogue. Nothing stands alone here; every entry becomes a thread in the same unfolding story. DREAMS Capture a dream the moment you wake — by voice or by hand — and watch its images, symbols, and feeling come into focus. Return to it later and follow the threads deeper. SYNCHRONICITIES Log the meaningful coincidences most people let slip past. Hermes helps you read them — the recurring number, the song, the name that keeps arriving — and notices when they echo your dreams. PSYCHE Explore your inner world through guided reflection, word association, archetypal figures, and quiet conversation. A space to sit with what's stirring beneath the surface. ASTROLOGY Your full natal chart and daily transits, read for meaning rather than prediction. See how the sky you were born under threads through your dreams, your patterns, and your reflections. WOVEN TOGETHER The more you record, the more Hermes connects — surfacing the quiet motifs that run through everything you bring to it. AN INNER CIRCLE Share a dream or a synchronicity with someone you trust, exchange interpretations, and explore how your charts meet. MEMBERSHIP Hermes is free to begin.
