Remember everyone
you meet

You meet someone remarkable. Five minutes later, you can barely remember their name. Trace captures who, when, and where — automatically — so your network is never just a list of numbers.

The Problem

Your contacts app knows who.
It has no idea when, where, or why.

You exchanged numbers at a conference three months ago. Now there's a name in your phone with zero context. Was it the investor from the rooftop? The engineer at the after-party? You can't remember — and you can't follow up with someone you can't place.

"There was this guy at the summit last week. He could be huge for our Series A. I think his name was... Bob? Kevin? I can't find him anywhere — and our funding window closes Friday."

His name was Friedrich. Not even close.

Common questions

What is Trace?
Trace is an iOS app that helps you remember everyone you meet. When you save a contact, Trace automatically captures the date, time, and location. If you're at a named event, all contacts are grouped under that event. Think of it as a memory layer for your contacts.
How is Trace different from Apple Contacts?
Apple Contacts stores names and numbers. Trace adds context — when you met, where you were, what event you were at, and your personal notes. Trace syncs to Apple Contacts automatically, so every person you save appears in your phone's address book.
How much does Trace cost?
Trace is free to download. The full experience is $3.99/month at our introductory price. For teams and organizations with 200+ licenses, we offer enterprise pricing at $20 per license per year. No ads, ever.
Does Trace collect my data?
No. Trace is 100% local. There are no servers, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, and no internet connection. Your data never leaves your device. We literally cannot see your contacts.
What's an Event Session?
A named event like "Tech Summit 2026" or "Team Offsite." Start an event, and every contact you add is automatically grouped under it. Later, browse contacts by event, message the entire group, or write notes about the event itself.
Can I message everyone from an event at once?
Yes. When an event has two or more contacts with phone numbers, a "Message Group" button appears. One tap opens Messages with everyone pre-loaded as recipients.
How does the QR code work?
Your personal card is encoded as a standard vCard QR code. Anyone can scan it with their phone camera — no app required. You can also share via AirDrop or any share sheet.
Does Trace work offline?
Completely. Every feature works without internet. Trace makes zero network requests. It works in airplane mode.
