Most of us never notice how our relationships actually feel. Some people leave us lighter. Others slowly drain us. Most of us carry that weight without ever naming it. Circle helps you name it. Log your interactions with the people in your life. Record how each moment felt — the energy it gave you, the depth it had. Over time, Circle reveals the emotional rhythm of your relationships: who consistently lifts you, which connections cost you, and how your social life is actually evolving. Not a hunch. A pattern you can see. What you'll discover - Who gives you energy — and who quietly takes it - Which relationships are growing deeper over time - How your social life actually feels, not just how you think it does - The moments worth protecting, and the ones worth reconsidering Private by design - Your relationships are the most personal thing there is. Circle keeps them that way. - No accounts. No sign-in. - No cloud storage. No tracking. - Everything lives on your device, always. Simple and honest pricing - Circle is free to start. Add up to 3 people at no cost. - Unlock the full app with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring charges, no tricks. Pay once, yours forever.

The people around you shape who you become. Circle helps you see them clearly.
