Sorting that out… then kept on your phone for later.
How it works
Tell OldMate. It’ll remember.
Low-friction capture when the details are fresh, then a clear memory you can return to by name.
- 01
Speak or type
Add a short recording after meeting or catching up. If talking does not suit the moment, type the same natural recollection instead.
- 02
Details settle
OldMate organises the person, the useful context, commitments, and possible next steps into relationship memory that is easy to scan.
- 03
Find the person
Look them up by name before the next hello. See what is worth remembering, what might come next, and the recording it came from.
Why OldMate
A memory for people, not a database of them.
Names matter. So do the stories, promises, and small details that make someone familiar.

Human context stays intact
Keep the detail that made them memorable.
Talk the way you naturally would. OldMate turns the recollection into a concise relationship memory without reducing a person to sales fields or a generic profile.
The name might slip. The person does not have to.
Ready before the next hello
Find them by name. Pick up where you left off.
A quick look brings back the useful context, a thoughtful next step, and where the memory came from—without pretending to automate the relationship.
