The story

You can't photograph a stranger.
You can describe one.

Most name apps make you study. This one just listens, and gives you a face you'll never forget.

01 · Say it

Tap the mic and talk.

Hands in your pockets, walking to the car. Say what you'd tell a friend: the look, the job, the kids, the thing you promised to ask about.

"Mike, red beard, glasses, boat guy from church. Daughter just started at UT."
Voice capture in progress: a live transcription of what you're saying about the person you just met
02 · See them

That Friend draws them.

An illustrated portrait built from your words. No photos, no face scans. NewThe Appearance studio turns what you said into structured traits (hair, eyes, glasses, "looks a bit like…") so every redraw sharpens the same face instead of inventing a new one.

03 · Pick it up

Skim before you see them again.

Three lines on your last conversation, where you met, their birthday, and a few good questions to ask next time. Thirty seconds in the parking lot and you walk in like the friend who never forgot.

A person card: last conversation summary, questions to ask next time, where you met, and how to recognize them
The toolkit

Built for the room, not the flashcard.

No quizzes, no spaced repetition, no homework. Capture in seconds, read in seconds.

Party mode

Twenty people, one dinner.

Tap, say a name and a few words, tap again. Three seconds each. Finish the cards later, at home.

Voice find

Forget the name, keep the person.

Say "blonde, blue eyes, German accent" and she comes up. Search runs on looks, topics, and places, not just names.

Family web

See how everyone connects.

Spouses, kids, who introduced whom. Ask about the right daughter by name.

Meeting map

A map of everyone.

Back in the neighborhood? Here's who you met last time, pinned where you met them.

Appearance studio · New

Portraits that hold still.

Structured traits drive every redraw, so refining a portrait sharpens the same face instead of starting over.

Birthday reminders · New

Delivered by your phone, not a server.

Local notifications pulled from the person's card. Nothing is sent anywhere.

The family web: an illustrated relationship graph centered on one person, connecting friends, spouses, parents, and children
