You recognize the face. This time, the name comes back.
For students, coworkers, clients, neighbors — the people you should know by name.
The meeting that matters. The reunion you've been looking forward to.
NameMemory makes sure the name is there when you need it.
100% on-device — your contacts never leave your phone.
Available in 16 languages: English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Korean, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi.
Used worldwide — and your data still never leaves your device.
I built this because I kept forgetting names myself.
After 25+ years in software development, I wanted to apply that experience to solve a small but very real, everyday problem.
If you've ever blanked on a name when it mattered, this is for you.
Smart Reminders
The app notifies you at the exact moment you're about to forget (SM-2).
100% Local & Private
Your data stays on your device. No cloud uploads, no tracking.
No accounts. No analytics. No third parties.
Your contacts are nobody's business but yours.
No Photo? No Problem.
Build a likeness from an avatar instead of taking a photo. Many schools and workplaces do not allow photos of students, residents or clients on a personal phone.
Build a face from features you remember —
ideal when a real photo isn't available or appropriate.
Where it helps
- A new class every term. Thirty students before week two.
- A new job, and fifty colleagues on your first day.
- Clients and contacts you meet once and see again months later.
- Neighbours, the club, the congregation, the parents at the school gate.
- A reunion next month, and half the names already gone.
