Nearfolk is an iPhone app that makes keeping in touch with friends feel light. You choose how often you would like to talk to each person, and the app draws a calm orbit of who is near, drifting or far. Each day it suggests at most three people to reach out to, with warm starter lines you can edit, and never uses overdue lists or guilt. Birthdays and one gentle nudge a day are the only notifications. Shareable cards travel as links and open in any browser. Nearfolk has no account and no server, and contacts are read on the device only, one at a time.
