Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a project I recently started working on called Tend (an Android app built to help you automate the scheduling of your social life).
The idea originally came from a discussion on r/fossdroid about how hard it is to keep in touch with friends and extended family without relying on algorithm-driven social media or bloated, cloud-based business CRMs.
Most "Personal CRM" apps require you to upload your contacts to a random server. I wanted something that was 100% offline, private, and simple.
What it does: You can think of it as setting up cron jobs for your relationships.
-
Contact Cards: Create dedicated profiles for people you want to keep up with (Name, notes, phone, socials, etc.).
-
Custom Frequency: Set a "check-in" schedule (e.g., every 14 days, monthly, quarterly).
-
Smart Reminders: The app will notify you when it's time to reach out.
-
100% Offline: Everything is stored locally on your device via SQLite/Room. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync.
I’d love your feedback! Since this is in the initial development phase, I’m looking for feedback on the features and the UI.

I understand this as an immediate reaction to software like this, but I have to disagree. I care about so many people… too many people. I want to keep up with them because our relationships are important to me. However, the human mind forgets stuff, even things that are important. Sure, I’ll remember someone’s birthday most of the time, but this is insurance that I won’t, it’s insurance that I won’t lose meaningful connections because I got too busy with work or passion projects.
