A keep-close for iPhone

Remember
the people
you love.

The little things are what makes a friendship. Bowline keeps it all in one place, then nudges you when it's time.

Catching up

Walk in already remembering.

It's been three months since you saw Maya. Open her profile on the way over — partner's name, last project, what's been on her mind. The next conversation picks up where the last one left off.

Birthdays & gifts

Sam's birthday is Tuesday.

Bowline reminds you the week before, with the gifts you've already noted from past conversations. The book he mentioned in February. The pottery class he's been meaning to try. Everything he's let slip is still there.

Staying in touch

Six weeks since Priya.

It's been a while. Bowline nudges, with a sentence to start: How did the move to Brooklyn end up? You hit send, not search.

What it does

Small, slow, and on your side.

No social feed. No streaks. Just a private place for the people who matter.

Capture it before you forget

Tap and talk on the way home. Bowline transcribes on-device and saves the note to the right person. No typing, no friction.

The details that matter, kept

Bowline reads your notes and quietly extracts the durable details — partner's name, where they work, what they've been into.

Gentle nudges to reach out

Set a cadence per person. Bowline nudges you when it's been too long, with a sentence to start with.

Birthdays you'll never miss

Imported from Contacts at onboarding, or added by hand. Reminders show up the day before, not after.

Private by design

Your relationships aren't a data product.

We don't sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it to train AI. Imported contacts are limited to the ones you explicitly add. Delete your account any time and everything goes with it.
