Life gets busy. It's easy to lose touch with friends and family. Oh Crap Hey gives you a gentle nudge to reconnect with the people you care about — on your own terms. Add the people you want to stay close to, and the app shows you, at a glance, who you haven't connected with in a while. The longer it's been, the higher they float — color-coded so you can scan the list in seconds. Green for under a week, orange for a few weeks, red for "oh crap, it's been too long." Log a quick reach-out with a swipe, or long-press to message, call, or email directly — and have it logged automatically. Jot a short note about what you talked about so you remember next time. Snooze the people you're taking a break from. There's no social network, no feed, no notifications begging for attention. All data lives on your device — no account, no cloud sync, no analytics, no tracking. Just you, the people who matter, and a quiet nudge when life has pulled you away from someone you meant to call. **Features** - People sorted by how long it's been, with the most-overdue on top - Color-coded urgency — green under a week, orange up to a month, red for "oh crap" - Swipe to log a reach-out — full swipe logs as now, partial swipe lets you pick a date and leave a note - Long-press any contact to message, call, or email from inside the app — logged automatically - Attach a short note to each reach-out so you remember what you talked about - Snooze contacts for days, weeks, or months when life needs a pause - Home screen widget in small, medium, and large sizes (iOS and macOS) - Native Mac app with a Window menu, File › Add Contact (Cmd+N), and a matching desktop widget - "Hey Siri, log contact in Oh Crap Hey" — full Siri and Shortcuts support - Accessible by default: VoiceOver, Voice Control, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Differentiate Without Color - Localized in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Hindi - All data lives on your device — no account, no cloud sync, no tracking **Profiles+ (one-time in-app purchase)** - Group contacts by context — Personal, Work, Family, anything - Pin different profiles to different widgets - One-time purchase, no subscription
