You mean to stay in touch. Then three months pass. Gravity quietly keeps track of who you're drifting from and makes reaching out take less than 10 seconds. No guilt trips — just a warm nudge when someone needs a hello. YOU'RE NOT A BAD FRIEND You're just busy — and life moves fast, and somehow a week becomes a month becomes you realising it's been almost a year. Gravity fixes the forgetting part. The caring was always there. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add the people who matter — name them and pick how close you are: inner circle, friends, or keep in touch. Done in 20 seconds. 2. Gravity keeps track — a gentle nudge when someone needs a hello. Not a guilt trip, just a quiet reminder that they'd love to hear from you. 3. Say hello your way — iMessage, WhatsApp, a call, an email. Open it straight from the app. Mark it done. Clock resets. That's it. CLOSENESS LEVELS • Inner circle (every 2 weeks) — the ones you'd call at 2am • Friends (every month) — people you grab coffee with • Keep in touch (every 3 months) — love them, life's just busy WARMTH RINGS See your social health at a glance. Colorful half-circle rings show how connected you've been this week — they grow as you reach out. DAILY REMINDERS, ON YOUR TERMS A gentle nudge delivered to your inbox or phone. "Sarah would love to hear from you — it's been a couple weeks." Only when someone actually needs a hello. No noise. • Daily reminder email + push — toggle each independently • Pick when it arrives: morning, midday, or evening • Birthdays get their own 7am nudge so you don't miss them • Weekly digest every Sunday — what's coming up, who you reached out to, and how your circles are doing • Quiet for two weeks? We pause the daily nudge automatically — no guilt trip when life is busy SIMPLE & WARM • Beautiful, calm design — no information overload • Say hello in under 10 seconds — tap, choose a channel, done • Celebrations when you reach out (confetti!) • "You're all caught up" — the best feeling PRIVACY-FIRST • Your contacts stay on the app — we never access your phone contacts • Names only — no phone numbers, no emails, no social profiles stored • Delete anytime — your data, your choice • No ads, no tracking, no selling data FREE • Up to 5 people • All features — nothing locked behind a paywall • All channels (iMessage, WhatsApp, Call, Email) GRAVITY PRO • Unlimited people — keep your whole circle close • All future premium features • Support independent development Made with care by one person who also forgets to text back.

Mappamory is a private map for the people in your life. It helps you remember where friends are from, where they have lived, where you met, and the places you have shared together. Instead of keeping those details scattered across chats, contacts, photos, and memory, Mappamory gives them a place on a personal map. A friend’s hometown, a college campus, a city they used to live in, a dinner after years apart, or an unexpected reunion. Mappamory helps you save those moments intentionally, so the people you care about are connected not only by name, but by place. ● What You Can Save • Hometowns and places people are from Keep track of where someone grew up, where they were born, and the places that shaped their story. • Schools, campuses, and classmates Save college towns, campus memories, reunions, and the places tied to old friendships. • Work cities and life paths Remember where someone works, where they moved, and the places where your paths crossed. • Shared moments Record dinners, trips, visits, walks, conversations, reunions, and unexpected encounters. ● What Mappamory Includes • People and place records Create profiles for people, then connect them with meaningful places and memories. • Photos, notes, dates, phone numbers, and tags Add context so a place is more than just a pin on a map. • Contact import Choose people from your system contacts to quickly create profiles, then add places and details over time. • Map view See friend avatars, place markers, and memory clues on one map. • Search and filters Find a person, city, place, date, tag, or memory when you want to look back. • Local-first storage and backup Your records are stored on your device by default. You can export your data or create local backups whenever you want to keep a copy. ● When Mappamory Is Useful • You want to remember where friends are from, studied, worked, or lived • You want to save the places you have shared with people • You want a more personal way to keep track of important relationships • You want to capture meaningful places that come up in everyday conversations • You want to look back at how your life has crossed paths with others Mappamory turns scattered people-and-place memories into a private map you can return to. ● Privacy and Safety Mappamory is not a social network. It does not have public profiles, social feeds, followers, friend requests, or real-time location sharing. Your records are stored on your device by default and are not automatically uploaded to the cloud. Mappamory only uses contacts, photos, camera, and location access when you choose features that need them. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
