Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a project I recently started working on called Tend (an 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 algorithm-driven social media or 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.
I’d love your feedback! Since this is in the initial development phase, I’m looking for feedback on the features and the UI.

Does it integrate with existing communications apps? It’d be nice if it could provide a link to the preferred communication method (email, Messenger, etc). It’d also be handy if the timer resets automatically when you exchange messages with the other party.
No. it doesn’t have an integration feature but you could provide a preffered cummunication method but it limited for now.
About the tiner, I think it’s not feasible. I don’t know.
How is it different from Monica? Just that it’s a mobile app?
Well, I think it’s on the description.
It’s FOSS, offline, no account required, and others in the future. I honestly don’t know much about Monica since I don’t use it. I don’t use web services that has a free and offline alternatives.
It’s on early development so there’s not really a huge difference.
Oh, Monica is a FOSS site you can selfhost, hence my question. But an offline version is pretty neat, especially if it directly integrates with the device systems (e.g. notifications, calendar, etc).
