Why › One swipe
Logging takes one swipe
No app on iPhone can read your messages, including this one. So the job was to make telling it take two seconds.
What this actually looks like
You wanted it to just know
You talked to them on WhatsApp. Why do you have to tell an app?
It felt like a spreadsheet
Open the app, find the person, tap a date, save. By the third time you stopped.
So the app went out of date
Once the log is wrong, the reminders are wrong, and you stop trusting them.
What Ciao! does about it
Right if you talked, left if not
That is the whole log. One swipe on Sunday for each friend who is due.
Backdate with a tap
Spoke on Tuesday and forgot to say so? Tap the card: today, yesterday, or earlier.
Honest about the limit
Apple gives no app access to WhatsApp, iMessage or Instagram. Anyone promising otherwise is promising something impossible.
