Any plans for a web version? For those who are keeping an eye on the space, here are some others: - https://MonicaHQ.com - https://Clay.earth - https://GetDex.com - https://Humans.io - A little side project of mine since 2015. PWA, works offline, will likely open source soon and add E2E encryption.

Interesting. I've wanted to build something like this for years.

For what it's worth when I prototyped I called it "PRM" - Personal Relationship Management.

Thank you so much for sharing these links!

I like Monica a lot. I tried Clay, and even pre-paid to get early access, but ended up cancelling one day after I finally got to try it. It just didn't work for me.

A shortlist from the top of my mind: * Individualised settings per contact * Who is this person to you? * How often do you want to engage with this contact? * What kind of ambitions do you have with this contact? * More refined suggestions based on the above * Training module to improve your social skills * Knowledge base * Regular blogs/videos/podcasts about the loneliness topic * Seasonal events and designs

> * How often do you want to engage with this contact? and perhaps have a reminder "you usually call X person every Friday around 6pm, it is now 6pm" > * What kind of ambitions do you have with this contact? pop a reminder/message: "did you manage to establish phase 5- "ask Mary out for a date"?" > * Knowledge base a la IMDB on the bio: spouse, siblings, birthday, etc.

At least on Android there is a nice app for the first point. It will track your calls and messages and remind you to contact people in certain intervals based on predefined contact group settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.barta.stayi...

Does anyone receiving these feel like it's personal enough to be meaningful? I can't help but think that even with some cutesy text, if it wasn't exactly the tone of the person who sent it or it didn't contain some kind of inside joke, it would just come across as a cookie-cutter afterthought. It seems like the Bitmoji of greeting cards, all splash and no depth.

Is the goal to "exit" with a sale to Hallmark or something?

This looks great! Sadly I can't check it out right now, as I don't have my Android phone with me. Do you happen to have an iOS version as well?

Unfortunately I do not. The app has some advanced functionality that Google approved, but I can't imagine Apple would allow the same integration with iMessage.

You can corporate with Beeper, they have a deep integration into all major messaging apps and an API that allows you to read and send messages. Works for iMessage too!

Congrats on the launch!

Something I would love to see is an integration with all my messaging apps where I stay in touch with people.

Beeper.com offers such functionality (can also be self hosted, which is something I did) and it’s amazing if you can see when you last messaged people, what the content was, etc.

Beeper itself is purely built for messaging, so an app like yours would be the perfect companion to give you all the CRM functionality and could then use beeper to send the messages out and log the interactions.

The disadvantage if you don’t self-host is though, that you need to trust beeper with your messenger connections.

Keep up, this is a super interesting area!
