Rootkeep vs Jot

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.

Save it in seconds. Ask for it back in plain words. A name you just heard. What you spent on the car. When the insurance is due. A film someone told you to watch. Type it, speak it, or share it in from another app - Jot files it for you. Weeks later you don't go hunting through folders. You just ask: "How much did I spend on groceries in June?" "When is the car insurance due?" "When was I last at the dentist?" "What was that book Anna recommended?" WHAT PEOPLE KEEP IN JOT The ordinary things a fast week leaves no time to file: • Thoughts and ideas that arrive at the wrong moment • Names, dates and small details about the people you meet • Spending, bills, subscriptions and receipts • Present ideas, months before the birthday • Links worth keeping - an article, a recipe, an apartment listing • Films to watch, books to read, places to go • Life's small records - the last dentist visit, a vaccination, the dog's vet date • Plans and events worth remembering ASK INSTEAD OF SEARCHING No folders. No tags. No filing system to keep tidy. Ask the way you would ask a friend, and Jot answers from what you saved - and nothing else. Or search every memo, answer and bill by any word it contains. EVERY WAY IN • One box - write a memo, or ask a question • Speak instead of typing, in any language; the recording stays with the memo • Share text or a link from any app and it becomes a memo • Share a picture - a receipt, a poster, a screenshot - and Jot reads it on your device • Import a PDF invoice and Jot pulls out the vendor, the amount and the due date MONEY AND DATES • Bills with amount, due date and paid status, and payments matched to their invoices • A spending screen that shows where the month went • Reminders for anything with a date on it • Your month in Jot, wrapped up in a recap card you can keep or share PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your memos are encrypted on this device before they are backed up, under a key Jot never receives - we cannot read them. Asking a question is the one exception, and the app says so plainly: the memos needed for an answer are sent to the AI model that writes it. No third-party analytics. IN ANY LANGUAGE Write, speak and ask in whatever language you think in. A memo you saved in one language is still found when you ask in another. FREE TO START Two actions a day, free - an action is one memo saved, or one question answered. Jot Pro adds: • 200 actions a month, with no daily cap • Voice memos, written up for you • Encrypted backup and sync across your devices • Unlimited PDF bill imports, with the documents backed up too • Early access to new features Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Jot Terms of Service: https://exbtn.github.io/jot-ios/terms Privacy Policy: https://exbtn.github.io/jot-ios/privacy
