# RECALL After 25 years photographing people, I built RECALL for brains like mine. The kind that remember every face but forget every name. Then I realized it wasn't just my problem. Parents know every kid at school but can't remember their parents' names. Conference attendees collect dozens of contacts and forget who they met by the next day. Professionals build huge networks but lose the context that made those connections meaningful in the first place. RECALL helps you remember people the way your brain actually works: through context. Tag someone the moment you meet them. Add a quick selfie. Create your own memory system using places, events, relationships, and situations. When you see them again, you'll know exactly who they are. ## BUILT FOR REAL LIFE ### For Parents You've been standing beside another parent at soccer practice for three months. You know their kid's name. You know where they sit. You know they drive the blue Subaru. You have absolutely no idea what their name is. Tag parents to schools, sports teams, classrooms, playgroups, and activities. Search #soccer, #PS42, #swimteam, or #carpool and find exactly who you're looking for. ### For Conferences & Networking Collect contacts without losing context. Use RECALL's built in QR sharing system to instantly exchange information while controlling exactly what details you share. Tag people by event, company, project, industry, or conversation topic so weeks later you'll still remember why they mattered. ### For Contact Management RECALL isn't just for adding contacts. Use powerful maintenance tools to clean up and organize your network: • Find and remove duplicate contacts • Merge repeated entries • Manage and edit tags across your entire database • Quickly organize years of accumulated contacts ## HOW IT WORKS • Tag people the moment you meet them • Attach a selfie to help connect faces and names • Search by tags, places, events, schools, companies, or relationships • Sync seamlessly with Apple Contacts • Organize people the way your brain remembers them ## FAST, SIMPLE, ADDICTIVE Swipe through contacts and tag them in seconds. RECALL's fast swipe interface makes organizing your network surprisingly easy. Add context to old contacts, clean up your address book, and build a system that actually works. ## THREE WAYS TO START Choose the experience that fits your day: • Home for your everyday contact management • Recall for quickly finding people through context • QR Mode for conferences, events, and networking ## BUILT FOR DIFFERENT BRAINS RECALL was designed with neurodivergent users in mind. Features include: • Dyslexia friendly mode • Flexible organization systems • Context based memory tools • Private by design ## YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything stays on your device. No contact data is sold. No cloud profiling. No tracking your relationships. Just a better way to remember people. Names don't stick. Context does.

WhenWhereWhat organizes tasks around when, where, and what you can actually do. Instead of showing every task at once, it separates what is available now, what is waiting on time or place, what needs planning, and what is scheduled. The app helps you focus on tasks that fit your current context. Key features - A Now screen for tasks available at the current time and place - Separate start dates and due dates for realistic planning - Place contexts such as home, work, online, and anywhere - Local arrival notifications for place-based tasks - Planning views for inbox, upcoming, today, and overdue tasks - Calendar view that combines events and dated tasks - First-run presets for work, study, and daily life - Manual location context fallback when location permission is denied WhenWhereWhat stores tasks on device without a server account. Location, calendar, reminder, and notification permissions are used only for features the user enables.
