What Hilo is

Hilo is an iOS personal contact manager for keeping up with friends, family, and other important relationships. It lets you save contacts and group them as friends, family, or colleagues, then add reminders for birthdays and other special moments. After a call or meeting, you can record a quick note to preserve details about the conversation. Hilo also lets you set alerts to follow up on conversations and save recommendations, such as a book someone suggested, for later reference. The app is designed for close personal relationships rather than managing business clients. Hilo is free, with no subscription, and does not offer a free trial. The maker says it collects no data and keeps personal information on the user's device. Apple's App Store privacy disclosure says the developer indicated that the app does not collect data, while also noting that Apple has not verified the developer's privacy practices. Hilo is available for iOS; its maker lists Android as coming soon. The App Store says it requires iOS 15.1 or later, or iPadOS 15.1 or later. Hilo was created by Pablo Granados.
