Follow-up chaser
You asked, they went quiet. Pally notices who owes you a reply and drafts the nudge.
Half of getting things done is remembering who never answered. Pally checks your messages and email, names the people leaving you hanging, and drafts nudges tuned to each one.
The routine
How it works
Ask pally who has not replied, and give it a window or topic if you want to narrow the sweep. It checks iMessage and Gmail for conversations where you asked a question, requested something, or sent a proposal and the other person has not completed the loop.
The answer separates silence from ordinary conversation. Pally names the person, what you were waiting for, and when the request was made, so a Saturday plan does not get treated like an overdue work document. You get a short list of real follow-ups instead of every thread where you happened to speak last.
Choose which people actually need a nudge. Pally can draft each follow-up around the relationship and context: relaxed for a friend, direct for a time-sensitive document, or specific to the unanswered question in a Gmail thread. Different conversations do not have to receive the same canned line.
Review the drafts together or one at a time, ask for a softer or firmer version, and leave any item alone when waiting is still reasonable. Once you approve a message, pally sends it through the source conversation and confirms the result, while untouched follow-ups remain available for later.

Things to try
Before you start
Common questions
How does pally tell that I am waiting for a reply?+
It looks at the iMessage or Gmail conversation for a question, request, promise, or next step that has not been answered. Adding a date range, person, or topic helps when you only want to inspect one part of your recent conversations.
Can each follow-up have a different tone?+
Yes. Tell pally how you know the person or how firm the message should be, and it can draft each nudge from that thread's context. You can revise one draft without changing the others.
Does asking who is quiet send anything?+
No. The first step is a review of the unanswered threads, and you choose which ones deserve a draft. A nudge remains unsent until you have seen and approved its wording.
