How to stay in touch with the people you love

Nobody drifts on purpose. Weeks pass, then you cannot remember whether it has been a fortnight or three months.

Good intentions are not a system

You already want to call your mum, message your oldest friend, check on the neighbour who lives alone. What is missing is something that notices when too long has passed and tells you, before guilt does.

Set a rhythm per person

  • Parents and grandparents: weekly or fortnightly
  • Close friends: monthly
  • Wider circle: quarterly, or just birthdays
  • Someone unwell or living alone: as often as you honestly can keep

Record when you last spoke, and let the overdue list do the remembering. That single number changes behaviour more than any resolution.

Make the call easy to start

Most missed calls die at the friction of finding a contact. Reaching someone should be one tap: call, WhatsApp, SMS or email, straight from their name.

Keep a little context

Their operation date, the grandchild's name, the holiday they were nervous about. Two lines of notes turn "how are you?" into a conversation that shows you listened.

Frequently asked

How often should I call my parents or grandparents?

Pick a rhythm you can actually keep, weekly or fortnightly, rather than an ideal you abandon. A short regular call beats a long guilty one every few months.

How do I remember to check in on someone living alone?

Set a contact rhythm for that person and let the app tell you when it has been too long, instead of relying on noticing. Cherishly shows who is overdue at the top of your list.

Is this a CRM for friends and family?

Effectively yes. It is a personal CRM: your people, their important dates, the last time you spoke, and private notes, without any social feed attached.

Does anyone else see my notes?

No. Your list, notes and photos are tied to your account only. Nothing is published, shared or shown to advertisers.
