For iPhone and iPad · Mac on the way

Bad at remembering things?
That’s okay.

We built Brunch because a bad memory shouldn’t get in the way of friendships. It helps you keep a short list of things to ask each person — three to five, ready to look over before you meet — so you never have to open with “So… what’s new?”

A session in Brunch called Coffee with Felix, listing three things to ask: how the reorg landed on his team, his kid's college applications, and where they landed on the contractor.

What it’s for

Brunch is for strengthening friendships. Ask a friend about the thing they told you last time. It’s a small thing, but it’s how people know you were listening.

Brunch is for family you only see a few times a year. A lot happens between Thanksgivings. Jot down your brother’s new job and your aunt’s knee surgery, and next year won’t feel like starting over.

Brunch is for business networking. When you meet a lot of people, the details blur — for them too. Asking someone how their fundraise went, months later, is a nice way to stand out.

Brunch is for not dropping the ball at work. Your manager mentioned something they were worried about last week. Ask about it this week — that’s the whole trick.

The app for what you want to talk about

You already have a todo-list app for what you need to do, and a calendar app for where you need to be. Brunch is the third one: a short list of what you want to talk about, for each person in your life.

Three to five things, per person

A short list of things to ask — not a dossier. Tick off what you covered, jot what came up, and the next conversation picks up where you left off.

Made for groups

Book club, Sunday dinner, the Monday meeting. Seeing a few people at once? Their questions merge into one list, and the next get-together starts from whoever showed up last time.

Synced through your iCloud

Jot something down after coffee and it’s on your iPad when you sit back down at your desk. Syncing rides your own iCloud — no account to make, no server of ours in the middle.

Your history, searchable

Everything you’ve jotted stays findable. Open a person before you see them, or search for that thing somebody mentioned back in March.

Private by design

No account, no server, no analytics. Your notes live in your own iCloud Drive as plain text, and the app never touches the network.
