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.
