You talked to Laura on Thursday. Her mother's surgery is Tuesday.
AlHilo remembers what's going on with your people for you. You tell it out loud, twenty seconds, right after you hang up.
Coming to Google Play this fall. One email, only one, the day it's out.
Every catch-up starts from zero
It's not that you don't care. It's that a hundred things happen in a week, and what your friend told you on Thursday doesn't survive to Friday.
30′
Half an hour catching up
And by the time you get to what you actually wanted to ask, you're already leaving.
1 month
The question that arrives late
"How did your mum's surgery go?" four weeks after it happened.
Again
Asking the same question twice
Asking twice says, without meaning to, that the answer didn't stick.
The people close to you predict your good life better than money does.
And those relationships run on concrete details: remembering that Tuesday is surgery day.

People. That's the circle someone really holds — and the one AlHilo is built for.

It's twenty seconds, on your way out
-
1
You hang up the phone
Or leave the café. What you just did doesn't change at all: AlHilo isn't part of the conversation.
-
2
You say it out loud
"Laura's mum has surgery on Tuesday and she's a wreck." No typing, no filling in fields.

The thread saves itself
It's written and filed away, and the recording is deleted. You don't have to touch anything else.
What matters comes to you
You don't have to remember to open the app or check in on anyone. If something's moving in your people's lives, it shows up on the home screen.
- The home screen
- What's happening this week in your people's lives, most urgent first. It's the only thing you see when you open the app.
- Reminders only when they're worth it
- If something has a date — surgery on Tuesday — you're reminded the day before. Never about how many days it's been since you called.
- And if you want, you go deeper
- Open Laura's page before calling her and see all her threads, her portrait and her rhythm. But you don't have to.
What AlHilo isn't
Not a social network
No profiles, no wall, no one to follow.
Not a CRM for friends
Your people aren't opportunities. No funnels, no priorities.
Not productivity
No streaks, no counters: turning it into homework is the fastest way to kill it.
Not a coach
It doesn't tell you what to say or judge how you treat anyone.
What's done with what you save, and what isn't
You end up saving things about other people here, so this gets said plainly, in two columns.
This, yes
- Your threads are yours, and nobody else reads them. They live in your account, so you get them back if you switch phones.
- The recording is deleted as soon as the thread is written.
- The transcript is used to write it and then discarded.
- You can edit, delete a single thread, or delete everything at once.
This, no
- Your data isn't sold or handed to advertisers.
- No models are trained on what you save.
- Nobody is told who you are or what you know.
- There's no way to share your threads, and there won't be.
What everyone asks
Do I have to type?
No. You talk and the thread writes itself. If you'd rather type it, you can do that too.
Does the other person find out?
No. AlHilo doesn't send anything to anyone: it's yours, and only you read it.
What about iPhone?
Android only for now. Leave your email and I'll let you know if that changes.
Remember what's going on with the people you love.
I'll email you the day AlHilo is on Google Play. One email, only one, and nothing else.
By signing up, your email is used only to notify you at launch: I'll send you an email to confirm it and nothing else. How I handle your data.
