Nexus Contacts vs Mneme

Meet someone new. Take a photo of the two of you, jot why you met, and Nexus Contacts remembers the context. Nexus Contacts is a capture app for the people you meet in person: the conference hallway, the next seat at a wedding. Take the photo, write a quick note, set a follow-up if you want one, all in the time it takes to say goodbye. HOW IT WORKS • Get in the frame together • Write a one-line note while it's fresh: who they are, what you talked about • Set a follow-up reminder if you want one, and snooze it if today isn't the day • Everyone you've met lives in one grid: search, filter, revisit ASK THEM HOW THEY SAY THEIR NAME Names are easy to get wrong and awkward to ask about twice. Record the person saying their own name, and play it back whenever you need it. The recording lives on their card. KNOW THEIR NAME BEFORE YOU SEE THEM AGAIN Once you have captured someone, Practice Names appears in the menu. Pick one event or one place, and the app brings you those faces a few at a time. You say how it went: got it, nearly, or no. Nothing keeps count. ALSO IN THE APP • Scan a business card, and the text is read on your device • Start an event, and everyone you capture is tagged with it until you end it • A map of everywhere you have met people • Send your own details by Messages, choosing which of your cards to send • Push anyone you capture into your phone's address book, when you want to YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Nexus Contacts has no servers. Every person you capture lives on your device first. iCloud sync is off by default on new installs. Turn it on if you want your library on more than one device. A sync-health screen tells you whether it is actually working, not just whether it is switched on. Your backup file explains itself: open it in a text editor years from now, with no app installed, and the file tells you what it is and how to read it back out. That's what "your data" is supposed to mean. PRICING Free for the first 100 people you capture, every feature included, no trial, no subscription. If your network outgrows that, one purchase raises the limit: $19.99 for 1,000 people, or $49.99 for no limit at all. Start at $19.99 and the step up to no limit costs $30 later, so either path comes to the same $49.99. Buy once, keep it. Your phone's address book never counts toward the limit, only the people you capture with Nexus. Whatever you've captured stays yours at any count: view, edit, export, and sync keep working. The limit only pauses adding new people. PRIVACY, PLAINLY • No account, no signup, no login • No analytics, no tracking, no ad SDKs • No third-party servers, sync uses your own iCloud account, and it's optional • Camera, Photos, Contacts, Location, and Calendar access are all used only for what you'd expect and only when you ask for it — see the in-app permission prompts for exactly why each one is requested Built by Common Nexus.

You read a hundred things a month and remember almost none of them. Not because you weren't paying attention, but because nothing was keeping the thread. Mneme remembers it. Send it a link, a video, a PDF, or a half-formed thought. It reads it, sets it beside everything you already think, and tells you when the two argue. A MAP THAT DRAWS ITSELF Everything you save lands on a map, near the ideas it already belongs with. You don't file anything, tag anything, or maintain anything. Topics form on their own and drift as you change. Zoom into one and it opens as a smaller map of its own. IT NOTICES WHEN YOU CONTRADICT YOURSELF Most apps store what you save. Mneme reads it. When something you saved this week disagrees with something you believed last month, it tells you — and shows you exactly where the two split. It also tells you when a thread is picking up speed, when different roads arrive at the same place, and when something you cared about has gone quiet. FIVE WAYS IN Atlas: the map. Every capture, placed by meaning. Mind: what's moving. Threads, tensions, convergences, dormant ground. Archive: the plain list, for when you just want to find the thing. Pulse: a check-in on what the people you follow have been engaging with. You: the long view. Your streaks, your busiest hours, and dozens of other insights. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE Share sheet, camera roll, or your own voice. Articles, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, PDFs, screenshots, book pages, quotes, and thoughts you haven't finished having yet. Most captures land in a few seconds. Bring your history with you: import your existing links, or connect Letterboxd and Goodreads so what you watch and read shows up on its own. IT COMES BACK TO YOU Mneme surfaces one thing a day worth thinking about again — a contradiction that formed while you weren't looking, a thread gathering pace, something you saved a month ago and forgot. No unread counts. No pile. Nothing to clear. Mneme is free with ads and monthly capture limits. Mneme Plus ($2.99/month) removes ads and raises the limits. Subscriptions renew monthly and can be canceled anytime. 'Mneme' was one of the three original muses, before there were nine. Melete for practice, Aoide for song, and Mneme for memory. This one is for Mneme. Terms of Use: https://mneme-app.com/terms.html
