Circles vs Collectable

Circles is a daily practice for staying close to the people who matter. You place the people in your life in three circles: the handful you'd call first, the friends you see and message often, and the wider circle you want to keep the door open with. For each person you choose a rhythm, a call every week, a message every few days, whatever fits. Circles does the remembering. EVERY MORNING A short list of who to reach out to today, ordered by closeness, with a line of context for each person so you have the right words ready. Mark it called, messaged or met, and the card is gone. THREE CIRCLES See everyone at a glance, grouped by how close they are, with the last time you were in touch. Add important dates so a birthday or an exam never slips past. YOUR MONTH, WRITTEN TO YOU At the end of each month, Membership sends you a letter about how it went: the rhythms you kept, the ones you let slide, the silences you ended, the people you saw in person. Not a report. A note written for you. Plus a year in review and a forecast of how each circle is doing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your contacts and notes are yours. No ads, no selling data, no social feed. Sign in with Apple or Google, delete your account in one tap. The daily practice is free. Membership adds the monthly letters and your year in review, as a yearly or monthly subscription through the App Store.

Collectable is an app for keeping track of what you collect. What can you collect? Well, not necessarily stamps or coins (that works too), but more like the parks you’ve visited, the films you’ve watched, the cheeses you’ve tasted, the top 10 most visited monuments, etc. You pick a collection and stamp what you’ve already done, with the date. You can also add a note and your own photo to remember it by. And when you put the last stamp on a collection, a little something happens on screen. It’s silly, but it feels good every time. To get started, there are official collections, like the 63 US national parks, the most beautiful hikes in the world, Pixar movies, etc. And then there are the ones other people have published. You can browse all the collections by category, or by looking at other people’s favorites. The list you’re looking for doesn’t exist? No problem, make it yourself. Type it in by hand, paste a list, or just give it a link to a web page and the app grabs the items by itself using Apple Intelligence. Then it’s up to you: keep it to yourself, or publish it so others can collect it too. A collection in progress or finished? You can share where you’re at in an Instagram story. You can also follow your friends and see what they stamp, send them a stamp or comment on their activity. Your memory photos stay on your iPhone, or in your iCloud. Nothing is shared, visible to others or stored on Collectable servers. You don’t need an account to look at collections. To start stamping, though, you’ll need one. Collectable is free and has no ads. It’s made in France, just by me. No dev team, no UI/UX team, no big company. I love national parks and collecting everyday things. I’ve always wanted an app like this, for everything else. If you have an idea or something doesn’t work, you can reach me at hi@collectable-app.com.
