Friendships rarely fall apart with a bang. They just grow quieter. There are people you think about often, and still the last time you spoke was months ago. Not because you stopped caring, but because everyday life gets in the way. And then something odd happens: the longer it has been, the harder the message gets. It would now have to explain somehow why so much time has passed. It would have to be something special. So you wait for the right moment, and the right moment never comes, because there is no such thing. On the other side, by the way, sits someone thinking exactly the same thing. Cuth does exactly one thing. It shows you a person and the shortest way to reach them. Nothing more, nothing less. How it works • You choose the people from your address book you already think about • You set how often you want to reach out, from every day to once a month • At the time that suits you, one name appears. Not twenty, not a list to work through • One tap opens WhatsApp, Messages or the phone • If the moment does not fit, put it aside and get another one • Your history shows when you last reached out Friendship is not a to-do list Most apps that want to help you stay consistent turn something lovely into an obligation. Streaks that break. Bars that want filling. Red numbers growing while you have more important things to do. Cuth works the other way round. Skip two weeks and there is no mountain waiting. No points, no ranks, nothing to win. And when a week does not work out, you put the reminders to sleep and nobody chases you about it. Your friends stay your business No account, no login, there is nothing to register. The names and numbers you add to Cuth stay on your device. They are not uploaded, not shared and not sold. What the two of you write, the app never sees, it only opens the way to your conversation. No ad networks, no advertising profiles. Anonymous usage numbers help us improve the app. No names, no numbers, no advertising ID. One switch in the options turns it off. For everyone who has good friendships and simply wants to feel them more often.
