Contacts Magic is a personal relationship manager that remembers what matters — what you talked about, what they care about, when to follow up. Talk to it in your own words: tell it what happened, ask it what you've forgotten. It understands who you're talking about and handles the rest. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS DESERVE BETTER THAN YOUR MEMORY Your friend mentioned her mom's surgery — you meant to check in. Your college roommate's kid started school — when was that again? The details that make you a thoughtful person fade in 48 hours. Contacts Magic keeps them forever. HOW IT WORKS • After a coffee, a phone call, a party — describe what happened in your own words. No forms, no fields. Magic Chat understands what you said and organizes it into the right contacts, journal entries, and follow-up reminders. Say "last Thursday" or "in a couple weeks" — it handles dates naturally too. • Need to remember something? Ask. "Where does Sarah work?" "What does my dad like?" "What should I get him for Christmas?" Magic Chat searches everything you've captured and answers in a conversation. • Before your next call or meetup, you know exactly what's happening in someone's life and what you promised. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BE THOUGHTFUL • Relationship context beyond phone numbers and email addresses — how you met, what they care about, your shared history • Follow-up reminders with full context so you know why you're reaching out • A journal tied to people, capturing conversations and moments over time • Groups and tags to organize your circles — family, book club, neighbors, coworkers • Full-text search across contacts, journals, and follow-ups WORKS THE WAY YOU ALREADY USE YOUR PHONE • Siri and Shortcuts for hands-free capture while walking, driving, or between meetings • Home screen widgets for upcoming follow-ups at a glance • Syncs across iPhone and iPad through your iCloud account YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything syncs through your personal iCloud account. When you use Magic Chat, what you say and the relationship details needed to answer your question are sent to our AI provider for that single request. We don't keep your data, our AI provider doesn't either, and none of it is used to train AI models. Remember the people who matter. Download Contacts Magic and stop relying on your memory to be a good friend. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
