For people who meet a lot of people
Everything we've written, organized by what you're trying to do: send the follow-up you keep meaning to send, remember the people you met, choose the right app for the job, walk into your next conference ready, or just look up a term. Written for the recruiter, consultant, founder, and advisor whose work runs on remembering people.
Start here

Follow up well
The wedge: a captured contact is worth nothing until the follow-up goes out, inside the window.
The 72-hour memory cliff Why the days right after a conversation decide whether you are remembered or a stranger.

What the category gets wrong
OCR is a feature, not the product Why scanning the card was never the hard part, and what the category mistakes for the job.
The pre-CRM moment The gap between meeting someone and entering them into any system, where most contacts are lost.
Against follow-up templates Why the canned message everyone uses is exactly why no one answers it.
Reference
The contact-capture glossary OCR, personal CRM, keep-in-touch cadence, enrichment, vCard, the follow-up window, and the rest, in plain terms.
Built for the work that runs on remembering people.
Met captures the card, keeps the context, drafts the follow-up, and nudges you before the window closes. Your contacts stay in your iCloud, never on our servers. Free to start.
