I'm losing track of friends across 7 messaging apps, locations, and time-zones. I've moved across 9 countries, 14 cities, and have been finding it difficult to remember to check in (ADHD+founder life).

Facebook pokes are dead so -- BetterFriend! At work, we've got a CRM for clients, to remind ourselves to message people.

Friends, best friends, and family have different cadences that this will generate tickets to remind you to message them. Feel free to use BetterFriend as a free tool. I'll continue to host this just for myself regardless.

Data will never be shared or used.

Feel like a yearly cadence doesn't match some goals sometimes, but I could toss that in there too.

Fair -- migrating it to a custom domain. No plans on monetizing.

Super cool -- have had a list in a journal for a few years now, felt it could use a refresh, so will always keep betterfriend live and, as far as I can, free.

^^Eh, I'll say while I'm worse now at keeping track, I've moved across 9 countries and many cities -- it's hard to remember to stay in touch.

Also esp when friends use snapchat/instagram/discord/signal/whatsapp/imessage/sms and that one weirdo that only has an email. I barely open my socials, but it doesn't mean I don't value those friendships.

Literally -- I've had friends use attio for their personal life, and I needed it to not be a commercial crm
