For students
A personal CRM for students — the people sitting next to you are your industry in ten years.
The professor who'll write your recommendation, the internship mentor who'll take your reference call, the lab partner who'll be a hiring manager in 2036 — university hands you a network once. Endearist is being built to make sure you still have it at graduation.
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 →
Professors write letters for students they remember
Two years from now you'll need a recommendation letter, and the difference between a generic one and a great one is whether the professor remembers you. Log the office hours: which paper you discussed, what she suggested you read, the question that made her pause. When you ask for the letter, you can write "you advised me on X in your seminar on Y" — and suddenly you're a student, not a name on a roster.
Internship mentors fade in exactly one semester — unless
Your internship supervisor knows your work better than anyone who'll ever read your CV. That relationship is worth a check-in every semester: a short note about what you're studying now, a question about their team. Endearist is meant to let you set a per-contact cadence and remind you before the silence gets awkward. When you apply for the graduate role two years later, you're a known quantity, not an applicant.
Your classmates scatter into every company you'll ever apply to
In ten years, the person who borrowed your stats notes works at the company you want to join, and the one from your group project runs a team there. Nobody networks their way into that — you just have to not lose the people you already like. A handful of journal entries per friendship now (their hometown, what they want to do, the running joke) is what makes the 2036 message feel warm instead of extractive.
A proposed free tier up to 25 contacts — an actual student budget
Twenty-five contacts covers the people who matter in a degree: a few professors, two internship mentors, the close friends, the family you call on Sundays. The pricing proposal makes that tier free — not a trial, free — with a one-time lifetime licence for when your network outgrows it. The aim: no monthly subscription competing with your rent, and no moment where your relationships get held hostage behind a paywall. 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.
Your notes about people stay off university and Big-Tech servers
What you write about a professor's feedback style, a friend's rough semester, or a mentor's honest career advice is sensitive precisely because it's useful. Endearist is designed local-first: everything is meant to live on your device, and end-to-end encrypted sync between laptop and phone over your own storage is planned — built so that nobody at Endearist could read a word. When you graduate and your university account vanishes, your relationship history wouldn't. A Markdown export of everything is planned too. End-to-end encrypted sync over storage you run yourself — a local or shared folder, or a WebDAV server — is planned for v1. Google Drive as a destination is not decided yet. Managed sync on Endearist Cloud is planned for after v1, as part of the Pro Cloud subscription only.
When Endearist isn't the right fit
The honest version: you almost certainly do not need this yet, and starting a contact system in your second term is a way of feeling organised rather than being it. The people around you now are in front of you daily. What matters is the handful of notes you will wish you had in four years — who studied what, who you actually got on with, where they went. If you want the cheap version, that is a single note per person after graduation, and it costs an afternoon.
