Why Stay in Touch?
The Science of Connection
Research, including the famous Harvard Study of Adult Development, proves that strong relationships are the #1 predictor of long-term health and happiness. But in a busy world, it’s easy to lose track. Stay in Touch acts as your "Personal CRM," ensuring that no important friend ever falls through the cracks.
Core Features
- Circles of Friendship: Group your loved ones into custom circles (e.g., "Inner Circle," "Old Friends," "Networking") and set how often you want to reach out.
- Smart Nudges: Receive gentle reminders when it’s time to reconnect, based on your own defined frequencies.
- Mindful Reflection: After catching up, log how you felt and note small details—like gift ideas or who initiated the meeting—to deepen your next interaction.
- Never Miss a Moment: Automatically syncs birthdays and anniversaries from your Apple Contacts, giving you a clear view of upcoming special dates.
- Seamless Integration: Works directly with your iPhone’s Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders to stay in sync with your life.
Privacy: Built for Your Peace of Mind
Based on our rigorous Privacy Analysis
We believe your friendships are private. Unlike social networks, Stay in Touch is a "No-Backend" app. Your data never leaves your iPhone.
- 100% On-Device: We have no servers. Your contacts, notes, and history are stored locally using Apple’s SwiftData.
- Military-Grade Encryption: Your personal interaction notes and "mood" logs are protected by AES-GCM 256-bit encryption. The keys are stored in your device's Secure Keychain.
- No Tracking, No Ads: We do not use analytics, we do not track your location, and we will never sell your data. There are zero third-party SDKs in our code.
- Transparent Permissions: We only ask for access to Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders to provide core functionality. You decide which contacts to import.
