Hey hey, hope you had a great week 🤗
Projects of Friends: Friendzone
Do you struggle to remember people’s birthdays? Do you have a huge note on your phone with gift ideas? Do you sometimes forget something a friend or relative told you a while ago?
My friend Jan built an app called Friendzone, that helps you manage and elevate your relationships. You can set a regular catch-up interval to get reminded to reach out, you get birthday reminders and you can write gift ideas and notes for your friends and family.
This is one of the apps that stay true to what Steve Jobs called “bicycle for the mind”: Friendzone stays out of your way but supports you in your daily life.
