Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I recently started working on called Tend (an Android app built to help you automate the scheduling of your social life).

The idea originally came from a discussion on r/fossdroid about how hard it is to keep in touch with friends and extended family without relying on algorithm-driven social media or bloated, cloud-based business CRMs.

Most “Personal CRM” apps require you to upload your contacts to a random server. I wanted something that was 100% offline, private, and simple.

What it does: You can think of it as setting up cron jobs for your relationships.

  • Contact Cards: Create dedicated profiles for people you want to keep up with (Name, notes, phone, socials, etc.).

  • Custom Frequency: Set a “check-in” schedule (e.g., every 14 days, monthly, quarterly).

  • Smart Reminders: The app will notify you when it’s time to reach out.

  • 100% Offline: Everything is stored locally on your device via SQLite/Room. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync.

I’d love your feedback! Since this is in the initial development phase, I’m looking for feedback on the features and the UI.

    I was just thinking about creating a spreadsheet with people’s contact info, notes, and a picture. I guess an app would be preferable, especially if there were a web/desktop version, and it was compatible with a spreadsheet (can export from/to a spreadsheet).

    Finally someone who read my mind AND had time to implement it 😆 i had a similar idea (although probably with a little different scope) a while ago and thought ‘finally a useful project to learn this mobile development thingamabob’ but never came around to it. Hopefully ill come around to test your app! (No promise unfortunately, the broodling turns 4 weeks next Wednesday, so I got other priorities atm)

      I’ll be releasing an alpha version this day. You can watch the repo if you want. :)

    first off: super useful project.

    the two biggest things I can think of are contact list imports and exports. I could see myself adding my immediate family manually. more than that and it becomes a chore rather than a setup.

      Thanks!

      It’s not currently listed as one of the core features but we’ll get there soon.
