Keep track of friends, family and colleagues you care for. Make notes, keep track of events and store to-dos for all your contacts. So next time you meet, you remember all their important details.

Hi 👋, I’m Roel I'm very excited to share the app I've been working on the past months: Hippo. An app that helps you remember all the important things about the persons you care for. 🤯 My problem: forgetting things all the time I have been struggling with my memory at work and in my personal life. I used to forget children’s names, someone's job, birthdays, anniversaries and other important life events. This made me insecure and unhappy. Because I like to be attentive and thoughtful! So, I started tracking notes linked to persons in a simple Airtable database and that helped me a lot! I decided to turn that idea into an app. Go from forgetful 😬💭 to attentive 🤗💬 With the Hippo app, you can keep track of your friends, family and loved ones. • Refresh your memory before you meet. • Make notes after you have met. • Create events to remind yourself of important dates. • Use to-dos so you don't forget to keep in touch Next time you meet, a glance at the person's profile in Hippo is all you need to remember the details! 🔒 Privacy Similar apps often require full access to your address book and store your data on their servers. I'm always scared away by that, so I took extra care of privacy. Your data is only stored on your device. I don't operate any servers for Hippo. You don't need an account. And access to your Contacts is optional. I'm looking forward to your questions and feedback!

@roelvanderkraan Appreciate your respect for privacy. So many apps these days are just shameless. Oh, you wanna play tetris? Cool, allow our app to make outgoing calls.

@mooooorrisjjj LOL :) Yeah it's really a no-no for me when an app requests permission to my entire phone book before I had the chance to try it out.

Reol, This look very promising and easy to use Any plan to release android version ??

@binumathew1 Thanks Binu! I'm not planning to make an Android version right now, sorry. Hippo was created in Swift (I really wanted learn native app development), so it would be a big task to make it ready for Android. First I'm planning to make a Mac version when Catalina comes out!

@roelvanderkraan flutter is the way to go now ;-)

Looks great - would be cool if you could sync the events with your Google calendar - and yes, I add my family and friend events to Google Calendar

@ivanbrezakbrkan Yes calendar integration is high on my prio list! What kind of events do you track in your calendar?

@roelvanderkraan In this case, meeting the people either offline or online. For example, a friend moved to Ireland and we had a Facetime call yesterday. Would be great to have that as an event in Hippo so I can track it.

@ivanbrezakbrkan Got it! Yes I'm planning to add something like that soon.
