Keep-In-Touch List

“Who haven't I spoken to in too long?”

Who you meant to ring, how long it's actually been, and who to do first. The friendships that lapse are almost never the ones you decided to let go — they're the ones where six weeks quietly became eight months.

  • Set how often for each person; the list sorts itself by who's most overdue
  • One tap to log that you spoke — that's the whole maintenance job
  • Names the single person to contact first, with the number of days
  • Dunbar's 5 / 15 / 50 / 150 layers as a guide to how often is realistic
  • And an honest account of the 150, whose confidence interval nobody quotes

How it works

Three steps, then you're done

Add a few people

Start with the two or three you keep meaning to ring.

Say how often, and when you last did

“No idea” is a legitimate and revealing answer.

Do the top one

It's one message. It doesn't have to be interesting.

Nothing you type ever leaves your computer. There is no account, no login and no server. Switch your wi-fi off and it still works — that's not a promise about our policy, it's just how the tool is built.

Questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. Each tool is a single file. Double-click it and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — whichever you already have. No account, no password, no software.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your numbers and files never leave your computer — the tools have no way to send them and no internet connection is needed to run them. You can switch your wi-fi off and they still work.

I'm not good with computers. Is this too hard?

The first thing every tool does is walk you through it in five short screens with pictures. Then there's a button that fills it with example numbers so you can watch it work before touching anything.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes. Email yourself the file and open the attachment, or drop the files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive and open them from there — then they're on every device you own.
