A Keep-in-Touch App for the People Who Matter

Last updated May 2026 · by Emily Hyeamang, founder of YourPond

It’s not that you don’t care. It’s that life is busy and we all lose track. YourPond is a personal CRM that helps you stay in touch with the people you care about — your closest friends, your siblings, your old roommate — on reminders you set, never a guilt-trip algorithm. Plus everything else: where they live, who they married, what their kids are named.

YourPond is a personal CRM and relationship mapping app that helps you organize the people in your life, track how they're all connected, and remember the details that matter.Staying in touch is the part of that promise people feel most — and YourPond approaches it differently from the typical “you haven’t messaged Dana in 47 days” nag.

The “I’ve been meaning to call” problem

Everyone has the list. The friend who moved cross-country you keep meaning to check on. The mentor you owe an update. The sibling you talk to less than you’d like. You don’t need an app to tell you these people matter — you already know. What you need is a small, well-timed nudge and enough context that reaching out doesn’t feel like starting from scratch.

The trouble with most “keep in touch” tools is that they turn warmth into a chore. An algorithm decides you’re “at risk” of losing someone and pings you on its own schedule, and pretty soon staying close feels like clearing a task queue. That’s the opposite of the point.

How YourPond’s reminders work

In YourPond, youdecide. Set a reminder on anyone for any date — “check in with Sam next month,” “call Grandma this Sunday” — at whatever cadence feels right for that relationship. There’s no algorithm deciding who you’re losing touch with and no AI drafting your messages. You set the rhythm; YourPond just remembers it.

Some reminders happen for free: add a birthday or anniversary and YourPond creates a recurring reminder automatically, delivered as an iOS push notificationon the day so you’re never caught off guard. The rest are yours to set, as often or as rarely as a person deserves.

Why this works

Small, intentional nudges beat a noisy nag. Because you chose the cadence, a YourPond reminder never feels like a scolding — it feels like a friend tapping you on the shoulder at exactly the right moment. And because every contact carries real context — where they live, who they’re married to, their kids’ names, how you met, the last thing you noted — your message lands with genuine warmth. “Thinking of you” becomes “How’s the new place in Denver, and how are the twins settling in?”

That’s the whole idea: low friction, real warmth, and you in control. YourPond organizes the details and the timing; the caring is still yours.

Frequently asked questions

What is a keep-in-touch app?

A keep-in-touch app helps you stay close to the people who matter — reminding you to reach out and keeping the details that make those messages personal. YourPond does this with reminders you set yourself, plus automatic nudges for birthdays and anniversaries.

Does YourPond automatically tell me who I'm losing touch with?

No — and that's deliberate. YourPond doesn't run an algorithm that decides who you're 'losing' or pushes you to message people on a machine's schedule. You set your own reminders, on your own cadence, for the people you choose. It organizes; you connect.

How do reminders work in YourPond?

You set a reminder on any contact for any date — 'check in with Sam next month,' 'call Grandma Sunday.' Birthdays and anniversaries generate reminders automatically. On iOS, reminders arrive as push notifications on your lock screen.

Can it remind me about birthdays and anniversaries?

Yes. Add a birthday or anniversary and YourPond creates the reminder for you, recurring each year, delivered as an iOS push notification so you never get caught off guard.

What makes reaching out easier with YourPond?

Context. Before you message someone, their profile shows where they live, who they married, their kids' names, how you met, and the last thing you noted — so 'thinking of you' becomes 'how's the new place in Denver, and how are the twins?'

Is YourPond private?

Yes. No ads, no data sales, and no AI training on your relationships. The most personal data in your life stays yours — it's only ever used to show your world back to you.
