Amigos

Amigos remembers what the people you care about tell you, so you can show up for them: ask about the new job, remember the dog’s name, send a card on the right day.

You tell it things in a chat. It also finds them in your texts, WhatsApp, email and calendar, and asks before saving anything.

How it works

01

Tell it in chat

Chat is the center. Say what you heard and Amigos files it on the right person. Ask it later: “What’s Sam’s dog called?”

02

It reads while you sleep

Every night at 3am your Mac reads what is new. Calendar dates every night; texts, WhatsApp and email on Sundays. What it finds waits in Review.

03

Nothing is saved until you say yes

Each found note is a yes or a no. Yes saves it. Wrong or Disregard drops it. When Amigos isn’t sure, it asks a question instead (“Which day?”).

04

Circle decides who you hear about

Amigos guesses a Circle for new people. You tap to confirm or change it.

05

A morning push, a Sunday email

Each morning the phone gets what matters today: birthdays, reminders, meetings. On Sunday one email shows the week ahead and who has gone quiet.

06

Arrive, and see who is here

When your iPhone arrives somewhere tied to people (a coworking space, a workplace, a city where friends live), Amigos sends a notification. Tap it to see everyone connected to that place. Where people work and live is filled in from your notes and contact cards, marked as a guess.

07

Faces, from the right places

Photos come only from places tied to the person’s own email or phone number. A photo you pick yourself is never replaced.

08

Share from anywhere on the iPhone

Met someone? Share a photo, page or email into Amigos with a quick note. It goes through the chat like anything you type.

09

Where people are

Save where someone works and lives. A small map shows them and everyone within 30 km.

10

Send a real card

Pick a design and write your own message. Postable prints, stamps and mails it. Every card is real and paid for.

11

It tidies itself

Two copies of one person merge on their own each night, with Undo. Pairs it isn’t sure about wait for you.

Computer and phone

Computer

  • Chat, the Amigos list, each person’s page and map
  • Review, with the chat beside it on wide screens
  • Duplicates and Settings (reach, Google accounts)
  • Send a card (computer only)
  • The Mac does the nightly read. Only a Mac can see your texts and WhatsApp.

iPhone

  • Amigos, Chat, Review and Settings, same as the web
  • Share sheet: send anything into Amigos with a note
  • Morning pushes about the people who matter most
  • Arrival alerts when you reach a place tied to people
  • Sorts your phone contacts into Areas

What it asks for

  • A passcode

    One passcode opens the website. The iPhone remembers your login.

  • Full Disk Access on the Mac

    Given once to a tiny helper called Amigos Reader. It reads Messages, WhatsApp, Mail, Calendar and Contacts on the Mac itself. Message text leaves the Mac only for Claude (Anthropic’s AI), to find the notes. Work mail is skipped.

  • Your Google account

    Read only: calendar and contacts. It never reads Gmail.

  • iPhone contacts and notifications

    Contacts, to sort them. Nothing is changed or deleted. Notifications, for the morning push.

  • iPhone location, “Always”

    For arrival alerts. Your location stays on the iPhone; only the place you arrived at is sent, to fetch the list.

  • A Postable account

    With credit on it, to pay for cards.

What you do

  1. Say yes or no to notes in Review.
  2. Confirm the Circle guesses.
  3. Keep the Mac signed in overnight. If it’s asleep at 3am, it reads when it wakes.
  4. Reconnect Google when the morning push asks.

Coming next

  • Who’s who

    Review asks “Is Rosa Sam’s sister?” when a note names someone already in Amigos, and links them.

  • Rate a reply

    Every chat reply gets thumbs up or down. A thumbs down asks what was bad, and Amigos learns from it.

  • Circle moves

    Amigos suggests moving someone closer, or further, when the notes say so.

  • Smarter nudges

    Seeing someone on your calendar counts as keeping in touch.

  • Invite a friend

    A second person using Amigos for their own people.

  • Amigos for anyone

    An iPhone app where your people stay on your phone, free to use, paid per card sent. Waits on the card test.
