blume. vs Chumlord

blume is an app for real relationships. grow a plant for every person you care about. water them by staying in touch. watch your garden flourish as you show up for the people you love. no algorithm. no strangers. no ads. no infinite scroll. just you and the small handful of people who matter — and gentle nudges to help you tend those connections. what's inside: your garden — every person you care about, as a plant that flourishes when you stay in touch and quietly wilts when you drift the circle — a small, private feed of the people who matter most. share photos, voice notes, and moments — no likes, no comments to strangers activity — see who's thinking of you. every interaction is a two-sided moment: when they log a connection with you, you both earn a small point of mutual recognition intentions — set small goals for who you want to reach out to. daily reminders that respect your time blume is built for the friend you've been meaning to text. the sibling you haven't called in months. the parent who deserves more of your attention. the person who's been on your mind. no scrolling required. just showing up.

Chumlord tracks how often you stay in touch with friends and family. Add people to a roster (manually or from your contacts), set a catchup cadence per person (daily, weekly, monthly, custom, etc.), and log catchups when they happen. The main list splits into Scheduled and Coming Due. Coming Due is ranked by who merits attention most relative to their own cadence, so you can quickly triage who to reach out to first. Each row shows the friend's avatar, cadence, next or last catchup date, and a health percentage from 0 to 100. Tap a row to edit, tap the calendar icon to schedule a date, swipe to text or snooze. I created Chumlord as a passion project. No account, no server, no analytics. Everything stays on your device. Chumlord doesn't send notifications; you open it when you want to see where things stand.
