FriendRing helps you keep up with the people who matter to you: the close friends you want to hear from often, and the wider circle you do not want to lose touch with.

Add your people once. Choose how you want to connect with each of them (a message, a call or a meet-up) and how often. When you have been in touch, check in. That is all it asks of you.

HOW IT WORKS
- Add friends from your contacts, or just type a name. Nobody is invited and nobody is told.
- Close and Extended circles come ready-made. Make circles of your own, such as Family or Work.
- Check in when you have been in touch. A goal you meet earns light progress, and a goal you miss never resets it.
- See who it has been a while for, who is due today and who is coming up, with an idea for how to connect next.
- Remember birthdays and other dates, such as an anniversary.
- Give a friend a photo, and keep a note of what is worth remembering.

A GENTLE NUDGE
One reminder a day at the most, at the time you choose, made on your phone. Snooze it, or tap Call to open your phone's dialler for a friend who is due a call. A widget on your home screen shows who to catch up with today.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account, no sign-in and no server. Your friends, notes and check-ins stay on your phone.
- No ads, no analytics and no tracking.
- The app makes no connections of its own.
- Lock the app with your phone's own fingerprint, face or screen lock, and keep names out of reminders and off the widget.
- Back up to a file that you keep, and seal it with a passphrase that only you know.

FREE FOR 10 PEOPLE, THEN ONE PAYMENT
FriendRing is free to download and has every feature for up to 10 people, in any of your circles. For more, a one time unlock for € 9.99 makes room for as many people as you like. There is no subscription and nothing renews, and nobody is nagged to buy. Everyone you have added stays, and backups are always free.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
FriendRing is for the friendships you already have. It does not find new friends or connect you with strangers.
