Pinchly helps you remember what matters to everyone who matters most. Capture what you want to remember about the people in your life — their coffee order, jeans size, favorite song, upcoming promotion, and the dream vacation they keep mentioning. When you notice these little details, just tell Pinchly. You pinch it once and it's filed away, privately, and visible only to you. When you need it, ask Pinchly and it comes right back in seconds — perfect for when you're in line at the coffee shop, or shopping last-minute for a housewarming gift. Start with a person Add anyone you care about — your partner, friends, family, colleagues, or neighbors. Every person you add is private and visible only to you. If you connect with your people on Pinchly, you can choose to share Pinches about yourself with one another — easy wishlisting, and good for dropping hints around the holidays. Pinches Pinches are the things and places that matter to those you care about. They can carry as much or as little detail as you want — categories, tags, notes, backup choices, and what to avoid. Capture a Pinch in seconds with PinchlyVoice. Say it the way you would to a friend: "Mom orders the mocha latte from the corner coffee shop." Pinchly understands it, organizes it, and files it away. When you are at a store, in the checkout line, on your way to a housewarming party. Just ask: "What is Alex's T-shirt size at OutdoorOutfitters?" Pinchly brings the right Pinch back in seconds. One place for all your gift planning Set reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, or whatever occasions you want to remember, and attach the Pinches that matter to them. Create Circles to organize your people into groups, and categories to organize your Pinches across everyone — made for gift lists and wishlists. Integrate Pinchly with your own calendars and your reminders show up right alongside everything else you have planned. Private by default Everything stays as private as you choose. Everything you pinch for someone else is private and visible only to you — forever. The things you pinch about yourself can be shared with connections. Connect with your people and decide exactly what each person can see — Pinch by Pinch, or nothing at all. The Pinches someone shares with you will be kept next to Pinches you have made for them for easy retrieval. Ask with a Bump The thought counts, but getting it right compounds. Don't know your best friend's favorite Italian restaurant? Send a Bump. Once you connect with someone, you can ask them to create a Pinch about themselves. They complete it, share it with you, and you have it for good. Pinchly+ Pinchly is free: unlimited people, unlimited connections, unlimited Circles, unlimited reminders.
