Be a Better Friend! is a simple friendship tracker that helps you stay close to the people you care about without the awkward “I forgot to reply” spiral. Keep your connections cozy and consistent. Add friends and keep everything in one place. Log check-ins with notes about what you talked about. Get gentle reminders so you reach out before it’s been “too long.” Track birthdays so you don’t miss the moments that matter. Save calendar notes for plans, memories, and little bits of context you’ll be glad you kept. It’s like a personal CRM for friendships, but soft, minimal, and made for real life. You can track up to 3 friends for free. If you want to track more than 3 friends, you’ll need Premium. Premium includes unlimited friend tracking and weekly or monthly subscription options.
