- For
- People trying to keep up with friends after a move or life change
- Worth noticing
- The weekly deck lets users mark “we talked” or “not this week”; either way, it returns the next week without a red badge or countdown.
Field notes
Friend entries can include a timeline, a last-contact marker, and saved memories; the page illustrates a note about signing a lease and wanting a visit in spring. The site also describes two widget sizes, showing friends who may be overdue or have an upcoming birthday. Its approach is deliberately low-frequency: the weekly deck is intended to take a few minutes, then stay quiet until the next Sunday.
