A private app for iPhone
The memory your brain can’t provide.
You are not careless and you do not love people less. Your brain just does not file this stuff. Raeo files it for you, then hands it back right before you need it.
Free. In beta, so some of it is still rough.
Tonight
Dinner with Sarah
7:30pm · Bar Isabel
Last time she was still waiting to hear back about the promotion, and quietly thinking about Barcelona. She mentioned her mum had a scan coming up. You know what to ask.

Remembered
Her mum has a scan coming up.

The gap
You remembered. Just later than you needed to.
Two hours after dinner, in the car, it lands: you never asked about the interview. Not because you forgot she had one. Because it did not surface when it mattered.
- 01
Nothing to remember to open
Raeo watches the calendar you already keep. There is no second app to check, no inbox to clear, and no streak to keep alive.
- 02
It interrupts you at the right moment
Not a reminder at 9am about a dinner at 8pm. A short brief just before you walk in, when the information can still change what you say.
- 03
Answer in one sentence
It asks how it went. You reply the way you would text a friend back. There is no form, no fields, and nothing to categorise.
- 04
It does the filing
You never sort, tag, or tidy any of it. That is the part every previous system quietly asked of you, and the part that killed them.
The debrief
It asks. You answer. It keeps it.
No note to write, no app to remember to open, no system to maintain. That last one is the reason every other system you have tried eventually died.
Below is a scripted preview, not a recording of a real person.
Privacy
An external memory is only useful if it is genuinely yours.
You are handing this thing the details you cannot afford to lose. Here is exactly where they go, including the part most apps leave out.
Stored on your iPhone
Your friends, threads and follow-ups live on your device. There are no accounts, and we keep no copy of your memory on our servers.
Calendar is read-only
Raeo reads your calendar to know when you are seeing someone. It never writes to it, and you can revoke access any time.
Chats pass through a relay
This is the part worth saying plainly. To reply, your message goes through our no-retention relay to an AI provider. It is not kept, and it is not used to train models.
On iPhones that support Apple’s on-device models, some of the memory work may happen on your device instead. Read the full privacy policy.
Why this exists
Every tool built for remembering assumes you will remember to use it. Notes you never reopen, reminders you swipe away, a friends database you filled in once. The tools fail for the same reason the memory did.
Raeo is the argument that the system should do the surfacing, not you. It comes to you, at the moment the information is worth something, and then it leaves you alone.
The awkward questions.
Is this an ADHD app?
No. Raeo is not a treatment, it does not manage symptoms, and it makes no medical claims of any kind. It is a memory for your friendships. It happens to help most if your brain does not hold this kind of detail on its own, which is why this page talks the way it does.
Is this a bit creepy?
It would be if Raeo watched your messages or your friends. It does not. It only knows what you choose to tell it after you have seen someone, in your own words. Nothing is scraped, and nothing is read on your behalf.
Does this replace actually caring?
No, and it is designed not to. Raeo hands you the thread and then gets out of the way. The last line of every brief is a version of you know what to ask. The conversation is yours.
Do my friends know they are in here?
What you save about a friend is your private note about your own life, the same as writing it in a journal. It stays on your device. It is never sold, never shared for advertising, and never used to contact anyone.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Raeo is free.
What does not work yet?
It is in beta and built by one person. Calendar support covers what your iPhone already syncs, and some of the memory features are rougher than others. We would rather say that than pretend otherwise.
Raeo is coming to iPhone.
Leave your email and we will tell you when it is ready. That is the only thing we will use it for.
