Rootkeep
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rootkeep is a personal CRM for your real life - the friends, family, mentors, and colleagues you actually care about. It tells you who needs you right now, helps you keep the promises you make, and remembers the details so you can show up like the thoughtful person you want to be. Inspired by the relationship philosophy of "Never Eat Alone", Rootkeep is built on one idea: strong relationships grow from small, consistent touches - not grand gestures. WHO NEEDS YOU RIGHT NOW Open the app and see exactly who to reach out to today. Rootkeep ranks the people you've gone quiet with, surfaces birthdays before you miss them, and turns your good intentions into one short, doable list. KEEP EVERY PROMISE Said "let's grab coffee soon" or "I'll send you that article"? Log it as a promise and Rootkeep holds you to it - front and center until you follow through. Checking one off feels as good as it should. LOG A CATCH-UP IN SECONDS A call, a coffee, a chance meeting - capture it in a few taps before you forget. Add who it was with, what you talked about, and what you promised. Follow-ups become reminders automatically. REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS Kids' names, favorite wine, the job change, the move to Lisbon. Keep notes on every person so your next conversation picks up right where the last one ended. NEVER MISS A BIRTHDAY Birthdays surface right in your daily list, exactly when it's time to reach out - no separate calendar to check. SET RELATIONSHIP GOALS Want to reconnect with old colleagues or invest in a mentorship? Link people to goals and let your daily nudges keep you moving. AI THAT HELPS, NEVER BLOCKS An optional AI advisor helps you think through your relationships - who to prioritize, how to reconnect after a long silence, what to say. Every feature works fully without it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account. No sign-up. No tracking. - Your data lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud - never on our servers, because we don't have any. - Works completely offline. FREE, NO CATCH No subscription, no paywall, no ads. Your network isn't a spreadsheet. It's the people who will show up for you - if you show up for them. Rootkeep helps you show up.

One place for everything you know. Memoral is a private, encrypted personal wiki for the pieces of your life that get scattered: journal entries, medical notes, recipes, people, places, projects, books, ideas and everyday moments. Write naturally. Memoral connects the rest. Use Memoral to keep: • Daily journals and reflections • Symptoms, medications and doctor visits • Family recipes and meal plans • Places, restaurants and trips • Books, highlights and course notes • Projects, decisions and goals • People, events and family details • Ideas you want to come back to Memoral turns your entries into a connected wiki. It can detect wiki-links, suggest tags, find related entries and help you search by keyword, meaning, tag, date or plain-language question. Ask things like: “What was that tonkotsu spot in Tokyo?” “When did I first write about this symptom?” “What recipes did we cook for Dad’s birthday?” “What notes mention the book that changed my mind?” Each answer is grounded in your own entries, so your wiki becomes useful not just for you, but for the AI tools you already use. Private by design: • Encrypted by default • Per-entry envelope keys • Entries are never used to train models • Export your wiki in Markdown or JSON on paid plans • Passkeys and 2FA supported A plain privacy note: Memoral is encrypted at rest, but it is not zero-knowledge or end-to-end encrypted. AI features run server-side, so relevant text may be processed by model providers when you ask Memoral to connect, summarize or answer questions about your wiki. Memoral is for personal notes and memory. It does not provide medical, financial or legal advice.
