Yarite is an iPhone app that reminds you to reach out before it feels too late. Put each person in one of six circles, closest to furthest, each with its own rhythm. Every morning you get a short list: three names, not a backlog. Call, message or write from the card and the touch logs itself. Miss a week and nothing breaks. No account, no server: your people, notes and history stay on your phone. Free up to 15 people, then a one-time $9.99 unlock. Not a subscription.
Hi everyone, I'm Manuele. I built Yarite on my own.
The problem: I kept losing touch with people I like. Not after a fight, just time passing. By the time someone crossed my mind, reaching out already felt awkward. I wanted something that gets there before the awkwardness does.
How it works. You put each person in one of six circles, closest to furthest. Each circle has a rhythm: close friends every few days, your wider circle a few times a year. Every morning you get a short list of who is due. Call, message or write from the card and it logs itself. Swipe right when done, left to skip. Miss a week and nothing breaks, you restart from where you are.
Three decisions I'd like your opinion on:
1. No account, no server. Your people, notes and history stay on your phone. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Linked to You". Most apps in this space are CRMs with a sync backend. I wanted the opposite.
2. One-time purchase instead of a subscription. Free up to 15 people with everything included, then $9.99 once for unlimited. For launch week it's $5.99.
3. Native, 5 MB, no third-party SDKs. iOS 18 and up.
I'll be here all day. If you tried one of the subscription alternatives and dropped it, I'd like to know why.
→ Launch week only: unlimited people for $5.99 instead of $9.99. Redeem here. Until 28 October.
Three names and no growing backlog is a kind choice for this sort of app. Missing a week should not make it feel harder to get back in touch.
