Your contacts tell you who someone is. Peoplebox helps you remember the relationship — what matters, when to follow up, and who needs a check-in. Keep private notes on the people in your life, set follow-up reminders, and never lose touch with the ones who matter. Your relationship notes are stored locally on your iPhone. No account, cloud sync, or analytics. Calling, messaging, email, and exports use the system services or destinations you choose. KEY FEATURES - Private notes timeline for every contact, with optional interaction type (meeting, call, coffee, email, event) - Read-only access to your iOS Contacts so you can attach notes without changing your address book - Create contacts only in Peoplebox without Contacts permission. Names and optional phone, email, company and job title stay in Peoplebox; system contacts are never added or changed. - Smart tags to organize people by Client, Friend, Family, or any custom category you create - Follow-up reminders with multiple lead-time alerts (3 days, 1 day, day-of) - See each follow-up's contact, task, and due date, then tap to open the related person and follow-up - Start a message from a contact's page using the system message composer; choose a number and confirm sending yourself - Stale contact detection: get a gentle nudge when you haven't talked to someone in a while - Per-tag "haven't talked to" thresholds, so you can treat close family differently from acquaintances - Smart Groups that automatically surface favorites, overdue follow-ups, and contacts you have been neglecting - Freshness indicators at a glance: green for fresh, yellow, orange, red for long-silent - Home screen widgets showing your upcoming follow-ups - Face ID app lock for an extra layer of privacy - Readable CSV contact summaries with notes and follow-up history (not a restorable database backup) - No login, no account, no data collection PEOPLEBOX PRO Manage up to 20 contacts with private relationship records for free, counting Peoplebox-only contacts and system contacts with saved records together. Existing records remain editable if Pro expires. CSV export, Face ID / Touch ID app lock, home screen widgets, and all follow-up reminder intervals are available to everyone.

Write why. Check if you did. Intenty is an intention journal for digital self-awareness. When you open a watched app, you write why you’re opening it and for how long. When time is up, Intenty asks whether you followed through — feeding your honesty rate and streak. This is not another generic app blocker. Blocking is only the trigger. The product is reflection: a private journal, insights, weekly summaries, and accountability check-ins. FEATURES: • Written Intentions: Capture your reason, duration, and optional mood before using a watched app. • Honesty Check-Ins: When your stated time ends, confirm if you stuck to your intention. • Reflection Journal: Every intention is saved and grouped by app on your device. • Intention Insights: Top apps, reasons, peak times, moods, and honesty rate. • Honesty & Reflection Streaks: Build daily momentum around pausing with purpose. • Weekly Reflection: A 7-day summary of patterns and follow-through. • Quick Reason Templates: Reuse common intentions faster. • Focus Schedules: Choose when intention prompts are active. • Productive Redirects: Optionally open Kindle, Spotify, Duolingo, and more after your intention. • Intenty Pro: Advanced insights, schedules, and an ad-free experience.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Peoplebox at none against Intenty's shown. Peoplebox also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Intenty's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
