Friendships don't end in a fight. They drift quietly, one skipped "how are you?" at a time. Lately is a small, private iOS app for tracking who you haven't caught up with lately — so the people who matter don't slip through.
Pick a small circle — the people you actually want to stay close to. Set how often you'd like to check in with each of them. Lately sorts your home screen by who's most overdue and stamps today as the new last-contacted date with a single tap. Optional one-line notes turn each catch-up into a quiet timeline you can look back on.
What Lately isn't: a social feed. A CRM. A subscription. A surveillance tool.
No analytics. No tracking. No account to create. No network calls except iCloud sync across your own devices. Free for up to 3 people — all features included. A one-time $4.99 unlock opens unlimited people and birthday reminders, yours forever.
