You know the feeling. You're out for coffee with a friend, and only on the way home do you remember what you meant to ask. Or your manager asks in your 1:1 if there's anything else, and your mind goes blank. Next Time collects exactly those things: what you want to tell someone, ask them, bring them, or remember. A few words are enough, and the next time you see them, it's all there. Every note belongs to a person. Before a coffee, a call or a 1:1, a quick look at their page and you're back up to speed. When something's done, cross it out. Add a date or a reminder if you like. You don't have to. Some things just shouldn't get lost. โ€œAboutโ€ is where you keep what makes someone who they are: no cilantro, oat milk in the coffee, a dog called Biscuit. You never tick these off. They just grow over time. Next Time runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro, and as its own app on the Mac. Your notes are yours. No account, no sign-up. Everything lives in your own iCloud and syncs between your devices. And you can lock the app if you like for even more privacy.
