Friends Everywhere is Now Available
Friends Everywhere is now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. It's the app that helps you keep up with friends.
Keep Up shows you one person from your group, someone you've been meaning to catch up with. Message them, call, or FaceTime, or snooze and get someone else. Everyone starts with an equal chance of coming up. Snooze someone and they're less likely to come up next time. When the app knows you caught up with someone, they come up a little less too, so the suggestions keep changing.
Below Keep Up is your feed. A post can be just an emoji, or you can add words, photos, or a link. Only the people you invite can see it, and nothing in the app is public.
No likes, no comments, no ads, no filters. If a post moves you, call or message them. The reply button opens Messages, the phone, or FaceTime.
The feed ends. Posts group by day, newest first, and days you've read collapse to a single line. Checking in takes a few seconds.
You can mute someone for a day, a week, or a month. Their posts leave your feed and they stop notifying you, and the mute ends by itself. They're never told.
There's no Friends Everywhere server. Your posts and photos stay in your own iCloud account. Each friend you invite gets a private, read-only share, and you can take it back from your iPhone or iPad at any time. The app has no analytics and no third-party SDKs.
On the Home Screen, widgets show Keep Up, an emoji cloud of what your friends have been sharing, and a shuffle of their recent photos.
"Keep Up is one person to contact. My hope is that people open the app when they have a few minutes to connect with someone they care about, see a name here they haven't talked to in a while, drop them a message or start a FaceTime, and start to feel a little less alone." — John Haney
Friends Everywhere is free, with no ads.
