Description

Discover, organize, and deepen all your personal and professional relationships with Clay, a beautiful and intuitive contacts app, lightweight CRM, and more.

People make us laugh, challenge us to improve, support us when things are tough, and celebrate with us once they get better. But staying in touch with the people that matter thoughtfully is difficult.

TRY CLAY FOR FREE

Before Clay, being thoughtful required relying on your memory as well as a mix of spreadsheets, notecards, address books, and other tools. In addition to being difficult to manage, this approach let important relationships, moments, and context fall through the cracks. That’s why we created Clay—a stunning, intuitive, and private home for your relationships, built automatically from your email, calendar, address book, LinkedIn, Twitter, and iMessage.

Clay helps you show up informed by creating and automatically updating beautiful cards for each of your contacts with context such as profile photos, bios, education and work history, location, and social profiles. In addition, you can use powerful features such as natural-language search, dictation and note taking, reminders, birthday notifications, news articles about people you know, reconnection cadences, and more to deepen your relationships over time.

REMEMBER THE IMPORTANT THINGS

Clay is the fastest and most powerful way to take notes before, during, and after a conversation with someone. Remember kids names, vacation itineraries, and that last article you read that you’ve been dying to share, all by writing a note on someone's card.

REACH OUT AT THE RIGHT MOMENT

Set a reminder for particular days—like a birthday or anniversary—or pick a reconnection cadence so you don’t lose touch.

ORGANIZE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

Dinner party faves? Book club? High school friends? Easily add people to groups so you can organize people however makes sense to you. Then, use those groups to make organizing events easier and faster.

SEARCH LIKE YOU THINK

You remember people in different ways—where you last met to catch up, when you last saw them, what you talked about. Just type what comes to mind and Clay will find the right person or group of people based on your notes and their profile, all in milliseconds. It's the easiest, most powerful person search available anywhere.

STAY ON TOP OF THINGS

Never miss a beat with Home—a powerful, high-level view of all the updates from your entire network. Be the first to congratulate someone when they change jobs or when they're mentioned in thousands of top print and digital publications.

Amazing!

Wow, this is a gorgeous app! Was able to sync all my social media profiles and contacts from multiple places. It has already saved me time and frustration from checking in and staying in touch with my network without having to bounce around a zillion apps

Terrible

Clay is super buggy and unfocused on its core promise of a personal CRM. iMessage import failed and cannot be redone. iPhone contacts are missing. It offers ZERO features around automated duplicate resolution. Do you really expect me to go through thousands of entries and resolve those manually??? This is a core feature, but apparently they invested time in developing a Vision Pro App??? I mean who cares about that? Improve your core product features before venturing into a new niche, nice to have app, no one currently cares about! Who is doing Product Management at Clay? That person should be fired. Terrible experience, even though it has potential if it would actually improve stability and offer meaningful features to make this super pricey subscription worthwhile at all. Right now it even fails at basic tasks and the team seems totally unfocussed.

Unreliable

After bulk importing over 3000 contacts, and needing to delete 90% of them I immediately noticed how unreliable an app Clay is, on both mobile and desktop. On mobile I would quickly archive contacts only to discover that the archive operation was either silently failing or taking seconds or minutes to attempt an archive before timing out or something - imagine my frustration thinking I had gone from 3000 to 2900 contacts only for the count to jump back up to 2956 because most of those operations failed. Sometimes I would see the "person archived" badge many seconds after attempting to do so.

Similarly I would try to merge or edit contacts and it only worked the first time about half the time.

Lastly on mobile it would rarely load all of my contacts - it would display a number like 600 but I could only see maybe 80 before reaching the bottom of the scroll. Randomly it would populate more but just as frequently those added contacts would disappear again as I tried to do other operations.

Very poorly designed backend, not sure they're up to the task of handling contacts in the hundreds. Not an app I will be paying for.
