Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I recently started working on called Tend (Android app built to help you automate the scheduling of your social life).

The idea originally came from a discussion on r/fossdroid about how hard it is to keep in touch with friends and extended family without relying on bloated, cloud-based business CRMs.

Most "Personal CRM" apps require you to upload your contacts to a random server. I wanted something that was 100% offline, private, and simple.

What it does

You can think of it as setting up cron jobs for your relationships.

  • Contact Cards: Create dedicated profiles for people you want to keep up with (Name, notes, phone, socials, etc.).
  • Custom Frequency: Set a "check-in" schedule (e.g., every 14 days, monthly, quarterly).
  • Smart Reminders: The app will notify you when it's time to reach out.
  • 100% Offline: Everything is stored locally on your device via SQLite/Room. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync.

Since this is in the initial development phase, I’m looking for feedback on the features and the UI.

As someone with ADHD, this is a pretty great concept.

Absolutely love the concept. Will you eventually release builds on f-droid or some other source?

I second an F-Droid release because I don't have a clue how to get it installed on my phone. I'm an über casual

Great idea! Do you also track important dates, like birthdays, anniversaries, etc.?

[–] AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Very cool! I definitely need something like this, personally. I forget to talk to people way too often.

Can you export/backup the data from the app?

Sorry, what does CRM stand for?

Customer relationship management.

Where a company would manage and track their contacts and associated data.
