For introverts
A personal CRM for introverts — object permanence for the people you love but don't see.
You don't need more contacts. You need the eight people who matter to not slip away while you're recharging. Endearist is being built for depth over breadth — no streaks, no scores to chase, no feed. Calm by design.
Not launched yet Endearist is in development — there is nothing to download yet. This page describes how the app is meant to work. The first release is intended for Android and Windows; end-to-end encrypted sync over your own storage is planned for v1. See the roadmap →
Out of sight shouldn't mean out of heart
Introverts love deeply and remember badly — not the people, but the upkeep. The friend from your old city exists vividly in your heart and not at all in your week. Endearist is meant to give them object permanence: a page that holds who they are, what's going on in their life, when you last actually talked. A warmth score could make the quiet drift visible early, while a single honest message is still enough to close the gap. Warmth tracking: scope and availability are not confirmed. Status: not decided yet.
Walk into the party already knowing what to ask
The exhausting part of socializing isn't the people — it's the improvisation. Five minutes with the journal before a dinner changes the evening: Anna's mid–job change, Jonas's father had surgery, Maira got the dog. You arrive with three real questions instead of a blank and small talk. The conversations go deep fast, which is the only kind you wanted anyway — and ironically, you're remembered as the attentive one in the room.
Recover after — one note and you're done
After a social evening you need silence, not homework. The post-event ritual Endearist is designed around is one journal note per person who mattered: "Anna starts the new job in March — ask how week one went." Thirty seconds, phone away, done. There's no inbox waiting, no feed pulling you back in, no red badge accumulating guilt overnight. The app is meant to hold the thread so your head doesn't have to — that's the entire point of it.
Depth over breadth — a proposed 25-contact tier as a feature, not a limit
Networking apps assume you want more people; you want more closeness with fewer. Endearist's pricing proposal includes a free tier of 25 contacts, and for many introverts that wouldn't be the starter plan — it would be the whole plan. The cadence is meant to be set per person, to the rhythm the friendship actually has: the monthly call with your sister, the quarterly walk with your oldest friend, the yearly long letter. Nothing is supposed to nag you to "expand your circle." Your circle is fine. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: local core and data export. The proposed 25-contact limit is not a confirmed entitlement. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: local app and AI with your own key (planned for v1). Sync over your own storage is planned for v1. Managed cloud services are not a lifetime feature. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: managed AI (planned for after v1, as part of the Pro Cloud subscription only) and Endearist Cloud (planned for after v1, as part of the Pro Cloud subscription only). Specific budgets, routing and prices require approval. Family sharing: not decided yet; no included family seat is promised.
No streaks, no gamification, no guilt mechanics
Endearist will never show you a flame icon, a daily goal, or a leaderboard of your friendships. A reminder you skip is meant to simply wait; a quiet month is a quiet month, not a broken streak. This is deliberate: relationships maintained out of guilt curdle, and introverts are already over-supplied with social guilt. The app is calm by design — local-first, no feed, nothing engineered to be checked twice a day. It is meant to work for you on the days you have capacity, and to shut up on the days you don't.
When Endearist isn't the right fit
One thing worth being straight about: this will not make you want to reach out more. It is not a nudging app and it does not gamify contact, because a tool that pressures an introvert into socialising produces guilt and then abandonment. What it is meant to do is remove the part that actually costs you — the recall. Knowing what you last talked about turns a draining cold restart into a warm continuation. If your relationships are few and deep and you have never lost one to drift, there is nothing here to fix.
