TieLoop is a private personal CRM for the relationships that matter. It goes beyond a static address book by connecting contacts, shared moments, anniversaries, money records, locations, and relationship context into one clear relationship map. Use TieLoop to: - Organize contacts with groups, tags, companies, roles, notes, and relationship types - Record shared activities like meals, meetings, trips, coffee chats, and gatherings - Explore a relationship graph centered around your own circles and connections - See contact locations and activity places on a native map - Keep birthdays, anniversaries, and important relationship reminders close at hand - Track gifts, loans, repayments, and other money records between people - Create and share a personal card with QR code, nearby transfer, exported card file, or an iCloud link - Optionally sync data across your devices through your own iCloud account - Protect private relationship data with Face ID or your device passcode Card sharing is designed for in-person introductions and cross-device handoff: show a QR code, send a complete card to nearby devices, export a card file, or generate an iCloud link when you need a fallback. TieLoop is local-first by default. Contacts, Location, Photos, Camera, Local Network, Motion, Notifications, and Face ID permissions are requested only when you start a related feature. The app does not include third-party tracking SDKs. Relationships should feel easier to remember and easier to care for. TieLoop helps you turn scattered interactions into a living map of people, moments, and meaningful follow-ups. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
