Why › Your own rhythm

Every friend gets their own rhythm

Your best friend every two weeks. Your old flatmate every couple of months. Both are right, and neither one is a tier.

The New friend screen in Ciao!: Emma, an elephant, a birthday on March 18, and Once a month ticked.

What this actually looks like

  • One rule for everyone is wrong for everyone

    Weekly nags you about people you see once a year. Monthly loses the people you miss most.

  • Circles feel like ranking

    Inner, middle, outer. You put your brother in the middle and felt bad about it.

  • Life changes the rhythm

    A friend has a baby and the right gap changes. Most apps do not notice.

What Ciao! does about it

  • A rhythm per person

    Every ten days, every three weeks, every couple of months. You set it on the friend, and you can change it any time. Trying to do this with Apple Reminders? The blog has a guide to an iPhone reminder that repeats after you complete it.

  • No circles to sort people into

    Nobody is in a tier. There is just how often you would like to hear from each one.

  • Pause when life pauses

    Someone going through something? Turn off their reminders for now. Their creature rests with a calm face.

Try it with someone you know.
