Better Friend: Stay in Touch

Better Friend is a memory for your friendships. It remembers the birthdays, anniversaries, and big life moments of the people you care about — and quietly notices when you haven't reached out in a while — so you can be the friend who texts first.

It is not a CRM and not a game. There are no streaks, no scores, no guilt. Just one calm daily reminder, only on days when there is actually something worth knowing.

HOW IT WORKS

• Add a small circle of people — the friends you don't want to drift from
• Track the dates that matter: birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, milestones
• Pick a rhythm for each person: close, regular, occasional, or birthday-only
• Get one quiet daily digest — never more than three items, never an empty ping
• When it's been a while, the app asks, it never nags: "been a while?"

CAPTURE MOMENTS FROM MESSAGES

Someone texts you "we close on the house on the 5th"? Share the message to Better Friend. It finds the date, you confirm who it's about, and next year you'll remember to ask how the house is treating them — in their own words, quoted back to you at the right moment.

REMEMBER GENTLY

• Reminders arrive before the day, so you're prepared, not ambushed
• Memorial dates are handled with care — reminded the day before, never with a jarring tone
• Birthday without a year? No problem — the app never guesses ages
• A postmark on each person shows the date you last reached out — a date, never a shame counter

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Everything stays on your phone — no account, no sign-up, no cloud
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking of any kind
• The only network use is Google Play billing and the on-device text model download
• Export your data anytime as JSON; import it on a new phone

FREE AND PLUS

The free version is complete for a close circle: three active people, unlimited dates, notes, capture, and reminders. Better Friend Plus removes the three-person limit — one small subscription, with a free first month.

Friendships drift one missed birthday at a time. Better Friend helps you catch them.
