Who it’s for › Out of sight

For people whose brain works on out of sight, out of mind

If somebody is not in front of you they are not in your head. That is how your attention works, and meaning well does not change it.

Marco

You talked today

About a week later, at 6:00 PM

You haven't talked to Marco

It's been a week. Just say hi.

now

The faces show how long it’s been since you talked to a friend.

Swipe right when you talk. The clock resets.

What this actually looks like

  • You are not cold, you are not reminded

    The moment somebody leaves the room they leave your working memory. It has nothing to do with how much you like them.

  • You remember at useless times

    Three in the morning, halfway through a shower, in the middle of something you cannot stop.

  • Anything that nags gets muted

    An app that pings all day is off within a week, and then it may as well not exist.

What Ciao! does about it

A memory that lives outside your head

It holds the who and the when, so you do not have to keep any of it.

The Ciao! list: Marco, Jake, Sara, Olivia, Dad and Mom, each with a happy animal and when you last talked.

One note, not fifteen

Everyone who is due goes into one evening note, never more than one a day. On Sunday, a short look at who is waiting.

Marco’s card in Ciao! just after a swipe right: a happy fox, You talked today, and buttons for WhatsApp, Message and Call.

Faces on your home screen

A widget with the faces of who you haven’t talked to in a while, so the people you cannot hold in mind are in front of you again.
