A private contact reminder for Android
Ties is a contact reminder for Android that gives you a quiet nudge when it has been a while, and keeps everything on your phone.
Coming soon on Google Play
Remember when you said let’s catch up soon?
Soon turns into months.
Life gets busy. Ties remembers who you have not talked to in a while, so reaching out is easy again.
Reminders
Tell Ties how often you want to hear from someone: every two weeks, monthly or every few months. It sends one daily summary at a time you choose, not a stream of pings.
Profiles
Notes, kids, gift ideas and memories, kept together per person. The next time you talk, you know where you left off.
Capture
Speak a note and Ties writes it down, or share a chat screenshot and Ties turns it into a note, with the sender recognised. All of it runs on your phone.
Follow-ups
Set a follow-up for the small promises, like asking how the new job went or sending the photos, and let it go until the day comes.
Private by design
Ties has no account, no sign-up and no server of ours. Your contacts and notes are stored in an encrypted database on your phone, and the app works completely offline.
Two technical things, and neither contains your contacts, notes or text. RevenueCat checks whether you have Ties Pro, and Google’s ML Kit, used for screenshots and summaries, sends diagnostics such as device model and error codes.
About 30 seconds. The video starts only when you press play.
Ties is free to download and free for up to 15 people. Ties Pro is an in-app purchase for when your circle is bigger.

One-time purchase or subscription, your choice. Nothing expires, nothing is deleted.
Ties is a contact reminder app for Android. You choose how often you want to be in touch with each person, and Ties reminds you when it has been a while. It also keeps notes, birthdays, gift ideas and follow-ups for each person. Think of it as a personal relationship manager that feels warm, not like work.
No. There is no account, no sign-up and no Ties server. You open the app and start adding people, or import them from your phone.
Yes. Your contacts and notes stay on your phone in an encrypted database, and Ties shows no ads and tracks nothing. Two technical things leave the phone: RevenueCat checks whether you have Pro, and Google’s ML Kit, used for screenshots and summaries, sends diagnostics such as device model and error codes. Neither contains your contacts, notes or text.
Ties is free for up to 15 people, with all reminders, notes, follow-ups and capture features. Ties Pro adds unlimited people, automatic daily backups on your phone and unlimited on-device summaries. You can buy Pro once or subscribe, your choice.
Yes. Ties works completely offline. Reminders, notes, voice notes, screenshots and summaries run on your phone. Voice notes need your phone’s offline speech recognition, which Ties can offer to download.
Every person has a rhythm, such as every 30 days. A rhythm set on the person comes first. Otherwise the shortest rhythm of their categories applies, and then your default in Settings. The clock starts at the last interaction you logged, or the day you added them. Ties checks once a day at the time you pick and sends one calm summary.
Backups are files on your phone, photos included. They disappear if you uninstall Ties or lose the phone, so export a copy now and then and keep it somewhere you trust, because the export is not encrypted. Ties does not upload backups anywhere.
Not at the moment. Ties is available for Android through Google Play.
