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.

Definitely going to keep an eye out! As far as frequency, it would be nice to add a "float" setting where a user could set a number of days as a window for reminders. So let's say I want to be reminded every 14 days to check in with my dad. But I don't want HIM knowing that I'm on a schedule, so if Iset a 3 day float, I could be reminded any time between 11-17 days.
Am I making any sense?
I was about to ask this same thing. But I'd call floats fuzz or entropy or +/-
Thanks! I'll consider your suggeestion.
On the ozher hand, you could call it “Saturday is calling dad day“ :-)
Still a good idea for a feature.
