How it works
Takes about 30 seconds. Add people, pick a frequency, and check in when prompted.
01
Pick your people
Start with 5-10 people you truly care about. You can always add more later.
02
Set a frequency
Choose a realistic frequency for each person. Weekly for family, monthly for friends.
03
Get reminded, reach out
When a reminder appears, message or call them, then log it in a few taps.
04
See your progress
Your garden view makes it easy to spot who is thriving and who needs a quick touchpoint. A Harvard study shows close relationships are one of the strongest predictors of long-term well-being.
Data flow in plain English
Poppy is local-first. Your relationship content stays on your phone, so I cannot access it.
1) Stored on device
Contacts, notes, and check-in history, everything stays on your phone, not on Poppy servers.
2) No contact upload
Poppy does not upload names, phone numbers, notes, or message content. There are no app servers storing your relationship content.
3) Limited diagnostics
Only anonymous stability/product events may be collected for reliability. Analytics can be turned off in Settings.
No Premium Tier. No Hidden Costs.
Completely free
Every feature is available without subscriptions. The goal is simple: make relationship upkeep easier, not another recurring bill.
Why I built this
I kept dropping the ball on people I care about, especially during busy stretches. Poppy is the tool I wanted: quick reminders, low friction check-ins, no social feed pressure.
- Support: direct email responses, typically within 24-48 hours.
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 gives you a simple reminder and a quick way to log the check-in.
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.
