Ever chat with someone at the gym for ten minutes while frantically trying to remember their name? Appquaintances is the friendly little app that helps you remember everyone you meet. It's not another contacts app. No phone numbers required, no importing your address book, no social feed. Just the things that actually help you remember people: where you met them, what you talked about, and the little details that matter. HOW IT WORKS β’ Create colorful groups for the places you meet people β Pickleball, Yoga, Book Club, the Dog Park, your street. β’ Add a person in seconds: a name and a quick note ("Lefty with a wicked serve. Just moved here from Denver.") and you're done. β’ Tag people with details worth remembering β Coffee Lover, Runner, New in Town, Has Twins. β’ People are organized by the date you added them, so "I met her at yoga a couple of weeks ago" is all you need to find someone. β’ Search everything at once β names, notes, and tags. Type "coffee" and there they are. β’ Add a photo to put a face to the name. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT β’ A playful, colorful design that makes remembering people feel like a game, not a chore. β’ Built for speed β add someone from the parking lot before the details fade. β’ Works offline, and everything syncs securely to the cloud when you're back online. β’ Private by default. No ads, no selling your data, no contact-list uploads. Whether you're new in town, a regular at the courts, a community organizer, or just someone who meets a lot of people β Appquaintances turns "Heyβ¦ you!" into "Hey, Maya! How was the half marathon?" Names matter. Remember them.
