Who was the investor at the bar at 2am? The designer who folds paper cranes? The one who said "call me when you're in Lisbon"? You remember the person. The name is the part that goes missing. SocialTree fixes that. SAY IT ONCE Right after you meet someone, talk. "Met Bastian at the founder dinner, angel investor, surfs at dawn, wants an intro to Elio." No forms. SocialTree turns the ramble into a person card with the details that matter. WALK IN KNOWING Seeing them again? Open their card and get the recap: what you talked about, what they were building, and three things worth asking. Ask how the launch went. Ask about the marathon. SEARCH BY WHAT YOU REMEMBER Type the question in your head. "Who runs marathons?" "Who did I meet at the gym?" "Who's the VC with the rescue dog?" The right person shows up, with the reason. WHO HAVEN'T YOU SEEN IN AGES? A gentle tap before a good connection goes cold, and a follow-up when someone said something you should act on. WATCH YOUR CIRCLE GROW Every person you add is a leaf on your tree. Spin it, replay how it grew, share it as a picture or a short video, and put it on your Home Screen. ALSO IN THE BOX - Widgets, plus one-tap capture from Control Center - Calendar aware: link it (read only) and get context before a meeting - Save from anywhere: send a profile or link to SocialTree from the share sheet - Circles: see your people by the parts of your life they belong to PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your people live on your device. AI processing is opt-in, disclosed up front, and can be switched off anytime in Settings. No ads, no data sales, and anonymous analytics you can turn off. SOCIALTREE PRO Try everything free, then keep it running with a monthly or annual plan. Have an offer code from a friend? Redeem it right on the paywall.
