Appquaintances vs Ciao

Ever chat with someone at the gym for ten minutes while frantically trying to remember their name? Appquaintances is the friendly little app that helps you remember everyone you meet. It's not another contacts app. No phone numbers required, no importing your address book, no social feed. Just the things that actually help you remember people: where you met them, what you talked about, and the little details that matter. HOW IT WORKS • Create colorful groups for the places you meet people — Pickleball, Yoga, Book Club, the Dog Park, your street. • Add a person in seconds: a name and a quick note ("Lefty with a wicked serve. Just moved here from Denver.") and you're done. • Tag people with details worth remembering — Coffee Lover, Runner, New in Town, Has Twins. • People are organized by the date you added them, so "I met her at yoga a couple of weeks ago" is all you need to find someone. • Search everything at once — names, notes, and tags. Type "coffee" and there they are. • Add a photo to put a face to the name. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • A playful, colorful design that makes remembering people feel like a game, not a chore. • Built for speed — add someone from the parking lot before the details fade. • Works offline, and everything syncs securely to the cloud when you're back online. • Private by default. No ads, no selling your data, no contact-list uploads. Whether you're new in town, a regular at the courts, a community organizer, or just someone who meets a lot of people — Appquaintances turns "Hey… you!" into "Hey, Maya! How was the half marathon?" Names matter. Remember them.

Talked to someone? Swipe their card or slide on their page, and the clock starts again. A call, a text or a coffee all count. Ciao! never reads or sends your messages. Add your friends and family, and choose how often you'd like to hear from each one: every week, every month, whatever is true for that person. Ciao! counts from the last time you talked, so it stays out of the way after a good catch-up. When it's been a while, Ciao! lets you know. COMING UP Your reminders, the birthdays of the next seven days and who's due, all on one screen. On their birthday their animal wears a party hat, and a note comes that morning. KNOW WHAT TO ASK After you talk, add a memory: his new job, her mom's operation. It stays on their page. To get it back on a certain day, tap Remind me and pick Tomorrow, This weekend, Next week or any day. Your own words come back that day. AN ANIMAL FOR EVERY FRIEND Every friend gets a little animal and a color. Its face shows how long it's been: happy after you talk, worried when it's been a while. You get an animal too, and you name it. It's happy when your people hear from you, and worried when someone hasn't in a while. Tap it to see who. On a Sunday when someone's due, its card turns yellow. Tap Start and go through who's waiting: swipe right if you talked, left if not, and they come back next Sunday. ALSO IN CIAO! - WhatsApp, Messages and Call buttons for anyone with a saved number. Message or call from their page, and Ciao! asks if you talked. - Add people from your contacts, or just type a name. - Two Home Screen widgets: your animal, and who's next. - Turn off reminders for someone and keep just their birthday. - In English, Italian, Spanish, French and German. Ciao! never writes anything for you, and the other person is never in the app. There's no account to make. Your friends and memories are saved on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, and we can't read them. There are no streaks or scores to keep up. Being a good friend is easy. SUBSCRIPTION Ciao! is a subscription. The app shows two plans: yearly, with the first 7 days free for new subscribers, and a shorter plan. Plans renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Payment goes through your Apple ID. You can cancel anytime in your iPhone Settings.
