Stay in Touch

What Stay in Touch is

Stay in Touch is a personal relationship tracker for keeping up with friends and deciding when to reconnect. Set a preferred check-in frequency for each contact, then use follow-up reminders to prompt a conversation when it is time. Custom friendship circles let you organize people into groups, with examples such as Inner Circle, Old Friends, or Networking. After catching up, you can record how the interaction felt and save details such as gift ideas or who initiated the meeting. The iPhone app works with Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders, syncs birthdays and anniversaries from Apple Contacts, and syncs relationship logs and circles through iCloud. The maker says information is stored locally with SwiftData and synced through a private iCloud container, without external servers. Interaction notes and mood logs use AES-GCM 256-bit encryption, with keys stored in the device's Secure Keychain, according to the maker. It also says the app supports offline operation and has no analytics, ads, location tracking, or third-party SDKs. Stay in Touch is free, with no free trial, and requires iOS 26.2 or later. Its maker is based in Munich, Germany.

Who it suits

Stay in Touch suits iPhone users who want reminders to reach out and a place to keep notes about conversations, gift ideas, and social connections. Its custom circles may help people organize friendships alongside other contacts, while its Apple integrations support users who rely on Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders.

Getting started

3. Check that your iPhone runs iOS 26.2 or later.
4. Set how often you want to reach out to contacts and create friendship circles.

Verdict

Choose Stay in Touch if you want a free iPhone app for contact reminders, friendship groups, and notes after interactions. It is less suitable if you need an app for another platform or an iPhone running an earlier iOS version.
