There is a particular way of losing touch that has nothing to do with not caring. Someone matters to you, you think about them often, and six months go by without a word. By the time you notice, it feels like too long has passed to just say hello. The thing we kept running into is that the thought never arrives when you can act on it. It turns up at eleven at night, or mid-meeting, or on a train with no signal. A reminder set to fire monthly lands in those same useless moments, and it still leaves you to remember what is actually going on in that person's life before you can say anything worth saying. So Coppice is built around the moment rather than the schedule. You tell it about people the way you would tell a friend, by typing or just talking: who you saw, what is happening with them, what you promised to follow up on. It watches for the ones going quiet and brings them up when there is a gap you can use. It is aimed at people with ADHD, where out of sight really is out of mind, and where being told to try harder describes the problem rather than fixing it. No feed, no profiles, no follower counts, and nobody else sees any of it. Happy to answer anything. The honest caveat: it only works if you actually tell it things, and whether that habit sticks past the first month is the part we watch most closely.
