close is a second brain for your friendships. It remembers what matters to them and tells you, every week, who to reach out to.
You're on the list. We'll let you know when close opens.

Endless feeds, notifications, likes. We've never seen so much of other people's lives, and never checked in on them so little. Adult friendships rarely end with a fight. They fray, for lack of time and memory.
close does the opposite. No feed, no content. An app that pushes you out of the app: toward a call, a text, a coffee. About half of US adults report measurable loneliness. — US Surgeon General, 2023
After a dinner, a call, a coffee: a 20-second voice note is enough. No forms to fill in. “Saw Paul. His mom is in the hospital, and he starts at Stripe in January.”
Dates, names, plans, the hard moments. Everything you meant to remember and would have forgotten in three weeks.
Every Monday, a few people and one simple reason to think of them. The rest is you: your words, your way of showing up.
Nobody chooses to lose their friends. It happens when your head is somewhere else. close keeps the thread for you, until you can pick it back up.
Because every voice note goes through AI, which has a real cost. A free app pays for itself with ads or your data, and we want neither for something as personal as your friendships.
No. close only knows what you tell it, plus the dates you choose to import (birthdays, events). You can export or delete everything at any time.
No. close never sends anything to anyone. It's a private notebook, not a platform.
On iPhone, early 2027. People on the waitlist get in first.
