MetHere — Social Memory

You met her at that bar in November. That guy from the gym, third time you've run into him. That couple you keep seeing at the coffee shop on Sundays. MetHere is how you remember.

It's a social memory. Not a contacts app. Not a network. A quiet place to keep the people you've met at the places you live your life in. The bar, the gym, the rec league, the shop around the corner, the park where you walk the dog.

Here's the magic trick: MetHere knows when you're back. Walk into the spot and your phone lights up. "you're near The Hoxton. you know three people here." The name arrives before the awkward pause. That's the whole app.

This started as a list on a phone. Every bartender, every manager, every hostess at every place in downtown Toronto. The list got massive. A friend saw it and started keeping one of his own. Now that idea is an app.

Log someone in ten seconds. A name, a place, a line about how you met. Add the rest whenever. Next time you're nearby, MetHere says so.

Some people move through. You meet, you remember, you swap numbers, they graduate into your real contacts and leave MetHere. The app did its job.

Some people stay. The barista who starts your order before you sit down. The front-desk guy who nods you through. The woman at the dog park whose retriever your dog is obsessed with. They don't belong in your phone. They belong here.

MetHere lives in the middle ground between "I've met you" and "you're in my phone."

A few things it does:

• Alerts you when you're near someone you've met
• Pins people to the places you met them
• Finds venues automatically as you walk in
• Saves a share card when you want to tell a friend
• Voice notes, photos, tags. Whatever you want to remember them by

Your memories live on your phone. No account. No sync. No cloud. No feed. Nobody in here but you.
