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.

    Cool app. A few questions.

    Will future releases be able to pull my phone contacts so I don’t have to tell re-enter names/numbers/dates (especially when they change?

    On that how do I edit a contact?

    What’s the internet permissions for?

      Thanks.

      Yes, it’s planned.

      It’s not implemented yet.

      I haven’t explicitly removed some unused permissions.
