How Poppy is different from reminders and task apps
Apple Reminders tracks tasks. Poppy helps you keep people in mind.
Reminders that don't pile up
You decide how often you want to reach out, and Poppy stays quiet in between.
- Choose a different rhythm for each person.
- Notifications are calm and never make you feel behind.
- Once you've reached out, logging it takes a few seconds.

Garden Home
See who you've checked in with recently and who might appreciate a message.
How it works
Takes about 30 seconds. Add people, pick a frequency, and check in when prompted.
Pick your people
Start with 5-10 people you truly care about. You can always add more later.
Set a frequency
Choose a realistic frequency for each person. Weekly for family, monthly for friends.
Get reminded, reach out
When a reminder appears, message or call them, then log it in a few taps.
See your progress
See at a glance who you've kept up with and who you haven't talked to in a while.
What stays on your phone
Your contacts, notes, and check-ins stay on your phone. I can't see them.
1) Stored on device
Your contacts, notes, and check-in history stay on your phone, not on Poppy's servers.
2) No contact upload
Poppy does not upload names, phone numbers, notes, or message content.
3) Limited diagnostics
Poppy may send anonymous crash and usage data to help me fix bugs. You can turn analytics off in Settings.
Completely free
Everything in Poppy is free. There's no subscription.
Why I built this
I kept realizing that months had passed since I'd talked to someone I care about. I built Poppy to help me remember, without making friendship feel like another task list.
- I read every support email and usually reply within a day or two.
Who is this for?
If you care about people but forget to follow up, this is for you.
Busy weeks happen
You mean to text back, then weeks pass.
Poppy reminds you when it's been a while and lets you save the conversation.
Long-distance friendships
Time zones and routines make it easy to drift.
Poppy tracks frequency so important people do not disappear from view.
Follow-up anxiety
The longer it has been, the harder it feels to reach out.
Poppy keeps reminders low-pressure so you can act without guilt.
Out of sight, out of mind
If someone is not in front of you, they are easy to miss.
Poppy's garden view helps you spot who needs attention.
