Keep in touch

The people you'd hate to drift from: pally notices the silence before it gets long.

Friendships rarely end, they fade. Pally quietly tracks how long it's been with the people who matter to you, nudges you when a silence is getting unusual, and drafts the message that restarts things.

The routine

How it works

Start by naming the people you do not want to lose touch with. Pally can use your iMessage history and connected CRM context to understand who someone is, when you last spoke, and whether the current silence is unusual for that particular relationship.

The nudge is based on your rhythm, not a universal timer. Six weeks may be normal with one friend and striking with another. When the gap starts to stand out, pally texts you privately and includes a recent detail, such as a new job, that can make reaching out feel natural.

If you want help crossing the small awkward gap, ask for a draft. Pally can turn the remembered context into a light check-in, then adjust it when you say it sounds too formal, too vague, or unlike you. You review the final message before deciding whether it should go.

Relationships change, so the list can change too. Add someone, tell pally a quiet stretch is expected, remove a person from check-ins, or correct the CRM relationship. The aim is a gentle signal at the useful moment, with you choosing which connections belong in the routine.

Before you start

Common questions

How does pally decide a silence is unusual?+

It uses the iMessage rhythm and relationship context available for the people you choose, rather than treating every gap the same. A nudge can include the last useful personal detail so you know why now might be a good moment.

Can I control who gets tracked?+

Yes. Add or remove people conversationally, and tell pally when a long pause is expected. CRM context can help identify the relationship, but you decide which people belong in the keep-in-touch routine.

Will pally send the check-in by itself?+

No. It can suggest and draft a message when the silence stands out. You can make the wording sound like you, then approve it before pally sends anything.
