Friend Roster Keeper

A simple app that helps users maintain their social circles by tracking when they last contacted friends and reminding them who they're overdue to reach out to. Users set a cadence for each friend, and the app shows them the health of their relationships at a glance. Perfect for people worried about withering social circles.

Post-pandemic anxiety about drifting friendships is real and well-documented, and the broader "personal CRM" space has seen genuine consumer interest over the past few years as people increasingly treat relationship maintenance as a deliberate practice. The closest known player is Dex, which targets a professional networking angle, but consumer-focused friend-tracking remains underdeveloped. At $500–2k/mo, this only works as a lifestyle business or an acquisition funnel — the problem is that the people most stressed about losing friends are least likely to pay monthly for a reminder app, which keeps conversion brutal. The biggest risk is that free alternatives like a recurring calendar reminder or a notes app column solve 80% of the problem for most users, making paid retention nearly impossible.
