A Relationship Mapping App That Actually Maps Relationships
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. Unlike contact apps that only know your relationship to each person, YourPond knows how everyone in your network is connected to each other — a social graph of your real life.
What relationship mapping means
Your phone’s address book is a list. It knows a name, maybe a number, maybe a birthday. What it doesn’t know is how those people relate to each other. It can’t tell you that your college roommate married your coworker, that two friends from different cities are cousins, or that the person you’re about to meet was introduced by someone you both trust.
Relationship mapping captures exactly that missing layer. Instead of storing people as isolated rows, it stores the connections between them — and once those connections exist, your contacts stop being a list and become a map of your world. You can finally see the shape of your relationships, not just their names.
How YourPond’s relationship graph works
In YourPond, every connection between two contacts is a real, stored relationship. A is B’s spouse. B is C’s brother. You met D at C’s wedding. Add those links and the relationship graph draws the web: a living diagram of how your people connect. Click any two people and YourPond shows the path between them — directly, or through the mutual connections that link them.
It also inferswhat follows. Record that A is B’s parent and B is C’s parent, and YourPond knows A is C’s grandparent without you spelling it out. That inference is what turns a handful of entered facts into a complete picture — and it’s what most “contact managers” simply don’t do.
The family tree that builds itself
Family is where relationship mapping pays off most. As you add spouses, parents, and siblings, YourPond assembles a multi-generational family tree on its own— including in-laws, step-relations, and half-siblings. You don’t draw the tree; you describe the relationships, and the tree appears. For large or blended families, it’s the first time the whole structure is visible in one place.
Who needs this
- Large and blended families — finally see how everyone fits together across generations and remarriages.
- People with global networks — friends scattered across cities, kept connected on a graph and a map.
- Founders — trace warm-intro paths to investors and operators. (See personal CRM for founders.)
- Recruiters — map who referred whom and who knows a target candidate. (See personal CRM for recruiters.)
- Connectors — anyone who loves introducing people and wants to see the relationships they’ve helped create.
Frequently asked questions
What is a relationship mapping app?
A relationship mapping app records how the people in your life are connected to each other — not just your relationship to each of them. It turns a flat contact list into a social graph: who's married to whom, who's siblings, who introduced whom, and who you met where.
How is relationship mapping different from a normal contact app?
A normal contact app knows your relationship to each person (mom, coworker, friend). A relationship mapping app knows the relationships between your contacts too — that your coworker married your college friend, or that two people you know are actually cousins. YourPond stores and visualizes those contact-to-contact connections.
Does YourPond build a family tree automatically?
Yes. As you add relationships — spouse, parent, sibling — YourPond assembles a multi-generational family tree on its own, including in-laws, step-relations, and half-siblings, and infers connections you didn't enter directly.
Can it show how two people I know are connected?
Yes. YourPond shows the shortest path between any two contacts — directly or through mutual connections — so you can see exactly how two people in your life are linked.
What is relationship inference?
Relationship inference fills in connections that follow logically from what you've entered. If you record that A is B's parent and B is C's parent, YourPond infers that A is C's grandparent — so you don't have to map every link by hand.
Who is a relationship mapping app for?
Anyone with a network too big or too tangled to hold in their head: large or blended families, people with friends scattered across many cities, founders, recruiters, and connectors who love introducing people to each other.
