Remember Faces
A small, private app for holding on to the people you meet. A name, a ten-second note, and the next time you see them... you're ready.
Why this exists
I'm a pretty typical middle-aged guy. I meet someone at my kid's game or a neighborhood thing, we have a genuinely good conversation, and two weeks later I see them across a parking lot and my brain hands me... nothing. The face is right there. The name is a million miles away.
I tried the obvious stuff. A notes app (which became a graveyard). A spreadsheet (lasted about a week). A CRM (I do not want to "manage a pipeline" of my neighbors). What I actually needed was smaller than all of that: a quiet notebook that asks for ten seconds after I meet someone and pays me back the moment I need it.
So I built it. Maybe I'm a little excited about it.

How it works
Right after you meet someone, jot the name and one line. No forms, no fields you feel guilty leaving blank.
"Met Dave at the tournament. Two daughters in club soccer. Just moved from Ohio."
Search a name, a place, or half a memory ("Ohio"... "soccer"... "the tall guy from the fundraiser"). Your notes come back before you walk over.
Every conversation adds a line. Six months in, you're the person who remembers that their daughter made varsity. That lands differently.
The privacy part
If we add backup later, it will be encrypted and it will be yours. That's a promise, not a roadmap slide.
Who it's for
Forty families a season, new ones every year. Be the coach (or team parent) who knows everyone by week two.
An open house is twenty introductions in two hours. Follow up like you actually remember them... because you do.
You run a men's group, a small group, a PTA. The fastest way to make someone feel like they belong is remembering what they told you last month.
Fifty names in week one: teammates, stakeholders, the person who actually knows how deploys work. Remembering them is quietly career-making.
New neighbors, other parents, people from church, the gym, the dog park. Good people are worth remembering well.
Questions
No. No pipelines, no reminders barking at you, no "contact scoring." It's a memory, not a sales tool.
No, and it never will. The name is about you: you remember faces, the app remembers the rest.
Nothing during the pilot. If it earns a price later, the private, on-your-phone part stays free of tricks. That's not the paid feature. That's the point.
Both.
Early access
The pilot is small on purpose... a couple dozen people using it on real humans for two weeks. Email me and I'll send you the install link and a one-page how-to.
