No account creation. No email confirmation. No onboarding survey. People Memory respects your time as much as it respects your privacy.
The very first time you open People Memory, you are asked to create a 4-digit PIN. This is the only "setup" required. There is no email address, no name, no username, no profile photo. Just a number you choose.
Immediately after you confirm your PIN, it is converted into a SHA-256 hash and stored in your device's private app storage. The original four digits are discarded. From this point forward, not even the app itself knows your PIN — it only knows whether what you typed matches the hash.
The app locks automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. The next time you open it, you enter your PIN again. This is your entire authentication experience: fast, private, and entirely local.
You only set your PIN once. After that, login is instant: enter 4 digits and you are in.
After 5 minutes of inactivity the app locks automatically, protecting your data from casual access.
Your PIN is never stored as plain text — only as a one-way cryptographic hash that cannot be reversed.
Tap the plus button on the dashboard to add someone. You can choose a preset emoji avatar from 12 options, or pick a photo from your camera roll (permission requested on first use). Type in their name — that is the only required field.
From there, fill in as much or as little as you know. Set a trust level from 0 to 10 to reflect how much you trust this person right now. Add their birthday, where you met, what they like, what they dislike, what you need to remember about them, and any quick facts about their life.
You can also import basic details from your phone's contact list. People Memory reads only what you select — name, phone number, birthday — and stores it locally. It does not scan your address book in the background.
Add a person in seconds. Fill in more details over time as you learn more about them.
Optionally pull name, birthday, and number from your phone's address book — with your permission.
Choose an emoji avatar or use a photo from your camera roll. Stored locally, never uploaded.
Assign the person to Work, Family, Friends, Networking, or a custom group you create.
This is where People Memory becomes genuinely useful over time. Every time you have a meeting, call, or conversation, open the person's profile and log an interaction. Add a text note or record a voice note about what was discussed, what you learned, and what to follow up on.
The app's Relationship Health Score automatically tracks how recently you have interacted and whether an upcoming meeting is scheduled. If a relationship is going cold, the score drops and the card becomes a quiet reminder to reach out.
Before any important meeting, tap Meeting Prep to see a curated summary: what they care about, your last interaction notes, and any upcoming dates. You will never walk into a conversation underprepared again.
Text notes or voice recordings. Timestamped and tied to the person's timeline. Reviewed before your next meeting.
A dropping score is a nudge — this relationship needs your attention before it fades.
One-screen summary of everything you need to know before you walk into a meeting.
A cross-person chronological feed of every interaction, birthday, and meeting across your network.
Every privacy-first claim needs a technical basis. Here is exactly how People Memory handles your data — and where it stops.
When you type a note, record a voice memo, or set a reminder, the data is written to AsyncStorage, React Native's local on-device storage. It is sandboxed to the app. Other apps cannot read it. The OS cannot sync it without your explicit backup settings. People Memory itself never initiates any network connection.
People Memory does not exist to replace your CRM at work. It exists to make you a more thoughtful, present, and prepared human being across every relationship in your life.
You meet 20 people at an event. Three months later, you cannot remember which one had the startup in health-tech. People Memory means you never lose track of who matters and why.
Keep notes on each team member's goals, personal context, and last conversation. Walk into every 1-on-1 informed and genuinely engaged.
Building a professional network from scratch? Track every mentor, professor, and peer — what they taught you, what they offered, when to follow up.
Remember every family member's birthday, what your oldest friend is going through right now, and what your cousin mentioned they needed help with last time you spoke.
You meet people from around the world. Context, connections, and details fade fast. People Memory keeps them alive no matter where you land next.
You would rather lose the feature than lose your privacy. People Memory is built for you — no compromises, no cloud, no surveillance capitalism.
