You should call them

“We should hang out sometime!” Never happens. 🙃

Don’t worry, we’re guilty of it too. Keeping in touch with people you care about is hard work and unless you’re making an active effort, nearly impossible.

Amato and Sparkbook both launched yesterday with this very issue in mind.

Amato lets you import contacts from your address book and set reminders so you don’t forget to call or visit them. You can then add the Amato widget to your home screen and check the status at a glance or update it after a call or visit.

The maker shares where the inspiration for Amato came from: “I love my grandma. I really do. Unfortunately, I see and talk to her very rarely - mostly on holidays and birthdays. Usually, I'm just too busy and totally forget to call her…”

What’s different about Sparkbook is its shuffle option. After you’ve chosen your favorite contacts, you can shuffle through them to choose who to reach out to next. You can also send pre-written texts to spark conversations and leave notes to pick up where you left off.

While you’re at it, document some of the memories you make along the way with Qote Beta. The mobile app allows you to collect quotes and create albums for specific events like trips or parties. For each album, you can invite friends to browse through everything.
