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.

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

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  • So the app went out of date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.

Try it with someone you know.
