The journal you talk to

Your relationships, remembered.

Tap the mic and tell Rare about your day in your own words. It keeps track of the people in your life, so you can ask about anyone before you see them again.

Coming to iPhone, Android and the web.

Tell Rare

Tell Rare what happened in your own words, and it files each detail under the right people.

Say it, type it or snap a photo. When Rare isn’t sure who you meant, it asks first.

A page for each person.

A new role, a kid's birthday, a promise: each lands on the right person's page.

Your relationship assistant

A few people to reach out to, each with a message already written and ready to send.

Each morning, about five minutes’ worth. Not a reminder to keep in touch: something to actually send.

Ask Rare

However scattered your notes, ask anything about anyone and Rare answers from everything you’ve ever told it.

Each answer names the entries it came from, and Rare says so when it doesn’t know.

Who do I know in Lisbon?

Each answer names the entries it came from.

A note from us

We never kept up a CRM. But we’d keep a journal.

Hi, we’re Rai and Roy. We made Rare because we kept losing the little things about the people we care about: whose kid just started school, who was waiting to hear about a job, what we said we’d send.

So we built the app we wanted. You tell it about your day, the way you’d tell a friend, and it remembers for you. What it keeps is yours, in plain text you can open anywhere.

If you try it, tell us how it goes. We’d love to hear from you.
