Description
After 25 years photographing people, I built RECALL for brains like mine — the ones that remember every face but lose every name. Then I realized I'd accidentally solved a much bigger problem. You know every kid on the team. You have no idea what their parents' names are. You've been standing next to them at practice for three months. Tag them the moment you meet — #PS42, #rainbowpark, #sewerplayground, #carpoolmom — and when you see that face again, you're not blanking. You're ready. HOW IT WORKS Tag people the moment you meet them Prompt new contacts to snap a selfie so the face lives with the name Search your tags to find anyone in seconds Syncs seamlessly with Apple Contacts FOR PARENTS Tag parents to their kids the moment you meet them Search #soccer, #PS42, or #classroom to find who you need instantly Never fake-smile through another "hey... you" moment again SWIPE YOUR WAY THROUGH Tinder-style swipe tagging — fast, gamified, oddly addictive Retroactively tag old contacts in seconds Quick-delete the ones you don't need FIND PEOPLE YOUR WAY Search by tag, last used, or most recently added Sort by your most-used tags Multiple ways to organize — use what works for your brain BUILT FOR BRAINS LIKE OURS Designed with neurodivergent users in mind Dyslexia-friendly mode included Your data never leaves your phone — ever Made by Paul. One of us. Names don't stick. Context does. RECALL replaces the contacts list you never use with the situational memory you actually have.

Appreciate that this app gets to the core of how I want to manage my contacts and how my brain can recall them without the bells and whistles that make other CRM systems so complicated to use. It’s really good for independent freelancers and small biz… recommend!
I developed this app to solve my own problem, remembering names. I really hope it helps you please send me feature ideas and feedback and I’m more than happy to fix and it.!
I have always used the last name line in my contacts to put in hashtags like nyc, or a friend of x, this solves the problem! And now when I share my contact it doesn’t have all my hilarious memory tags. Great work!
I struggle to find people i have met and this app is great as its not another cem, it just uses your contact address book with hashtags
