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.

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.

Common Questions

Is my data really private?
Yes. Everything stays on your device. No cloud uploads, no accounts, no analytics, no third-party trackers. The database is protected with AES-256 encryption (SQLCipher). I literally have no way to see your data — even if I wanted to.
How does the free version work?
You can add up to 20 people for free, forever. No trial period, no time limit. If you need more, the PRO upgrade is a one-time purchase — no subscription. The exact price is shown in your local currency on the App Store and Google Play.
Why "20 people"? Isn't that too few?
It's intentional. NameMemory isn't for managing thousands of contacts — it's for the people who actually matter to you: family, close friends, and key coworkers. If you need to remember more, the unlimited PRO version is one quick upgrade.
How is this different from a contacts app?
Contacts apps store names. NameMemory teaches your brain to recall them. Using spaced repetition (a proven memory technique), the app quizzes you at the perfect time — right before you'd forget — so the names actually stick.
Does it work offline?
Yes. All core features work fully offline. No internet connection is required after the initial download, except when you create an avatar (the artwork is generated by an external service).
What if I don't have a photo of someone?
You can create custom avatars right inside the app. Pick features that capture how you remember them — perfect for privacy-sensitive situations or when a photo isn't appropriate.
