Relationship-Focused Memory Apps

'Friendsome' Helps Users Remember Key Details About Acquaintances

— June 23, 2017 — Tech
For all the vehement insistence that technology is damaging interpersonal relationships, 'Friendsome' is a new app designed specifically to make people better at managing the many relationships in their lives. Though technically a memory app, Friendsome helps users to remember the details of their encounters with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, relatives, and anyone else who one might otherwise hope to keep in their personal circle.

Everyone has had the experience of blanking on someone's name or details even though that person remembers everything about oneself, and likewise a distant connection remembering intimate details immediately makes one feel important and valued. Friendsome keeps a record of all the people users meet as well as pertinent information to help make those memories stick, helping to strengthen relationships in the long run. The app also automatically sends notifications with that information when users enter a space where they've already met someone, which gives them a leg up if a chance encounter happens again.
Trend Themes
1. Relationship Management Apps - Creating apps that help users manage and strengthen their relationships through recording and recalling key details.
2. Personal Memory Assistants - Developing digital assistants that store and provide users with important information about their acquaintances and connections.
3. Contextual Relationship Notifiers - Designing apps that send notifications with relevant information when users encounter someone they've previously interacted with, improving social interactions.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - The technology industry has the opportunity to develop innovative apps and digital tools that enhance relationship management and memory recall.
2. Social Networking - Social networking platforms can incorporate features that focus on helping users remember and engage with their connections on a deeper level.
3. Personal Productivity - The personal productivity industry can explore creating tools that aid individuals in organizing and retaining important details about the people they interact with.
