Queue is the contacts app that should have come with your phone. It helps you be the thoughtful person you’ve always wanted to be, even if you’re terrible at keeping in touch.
*Your people*
Add people from your iPhone contacts, Google contacts, your calendar, and LinkedIn, and choose how often you'd like to catch up — every few weeks, every few months, or just when it counts.
*Your catch ups*
Meetings with people in your queue on your Apple or Google Calendar count as catch ups automatically, and you can record a catch up yourself any time too.
*Your reminders*
Get a nudge when it's been a while, when it's someone's birthday or anniversary, and when someone in your queue starts a new job.
*Your notes*
Queue reminds you after each catch up to think about how it went and jot down a few notes, then makes sure they're handy the next time you reach out.

*Even better with Queue for macOS*
Queue knows when you've emailed, texted, called, or FaceTimed someone in your queue and logs the catch up for you. No manual updating, ever. Meetings on your Apple Calendar or Google Calendar sync automatically too. Email and text message content is analyzed entirely on your own Mac using Apple's on-device models. Conversation summaries are stored securely in your private iCloud, and they never reach Queue’s servers.

A surprised extrovert’s guide to their friendships
stephiestephsteph
I am a highly extroverted person. I didn’t think I needed to organize and nurture my friendships - they were all right there in front of me. What could be difficult about that? But the pandemic hit and I slowly realized how many of my friendships were based on coincidence, timing, and being in the same physical place. How unintentionally I had built those relationships. How easy it would be to miss out on them if I didn’t start approaching them a bit differently. Enter Queue. Suddenly I am asking myself, do I want to catch up with this person? How much do we have in common? What’s here? A define the relationship moment, if you will, for each person in my life. Isn’t this just an app? Yes. But it’s weird. When you’re extroverted and you’re forced to think about who you want to give your energy to - it’s weird how different that looks. Sometimes you get people you weren’t expecting and you build beautiful relationships you would have missed out on if you didn’t take the time to really see them. Others you miss out on because now you do see them, and it’s not right for you. I’ll admit I do know the developer and think he is swell. But I’ll tell you the output of my experience and you can judge from there: Since Queue, I’ve been invited to weddings I would not have been, and I gratefully and humbly let go of other relationships that had finished their journey and I learned I could move on. It’s just an app. But who am I now when using it? There are days when I snooze a catch up, remove people from my Queue, or just don’t feel like it. But the days that I look at the app and think, “Oh hey, how is that person doing? What would happen if I said hello?” What would happen indeed?Hello Queue.
Help for my Broken Brain

Friends are very important to me, but I'm pretty terrible at keeping in contact with them. As a developer myself, I've thought for years about building a tool to reach out to important people at regular intervals. Fortunately, Queue came along and scratched that itch exquisitely well, so now I don't have to. It's lovely, well-crafted, functional, app that feels delightful and properly at home on iOS. The developer adds new features at a steady pace, and is extraordinarily ready to discuss plans and feature requests. I'm delighted to have such an effective tool to help me be the thoughtful human I want to be.
Necessary app for modern times!

I’ve been using this app for a while (started in beta) and I can honestly say it’s one of the most useful apps out there today. It’s been especially helpful during COVID as it’s reminded me to check in with everyone fto me my brother to my old college pals at varying frequencies. The notifications and reminders are clear but not intrusive and the Google Calendar integration is amazing! So many options for customizing reminders and tracking. 100% worth the cost and more, highly recommend!
Your network is valuable. Look after it.

Just what I needed to manage my personal and professional network. Leverages phone contacts but you can add contacts manually too. It took a bit of setup to develop my initial queue but that reflects how much I have neglected my network more than anything. Intuitive design. Clever queuing system. Easy to use. Simple. Thoughtful. Powerful.
*Apple Mail and Apple Calendar sync*
Queue has always been the simplest way to stay on top of your relationships. Now it's also entirely automatic on Apple platforms.
Anytime you email, text, call, or FaceTime someone in your queue, it'll automatically get logged and your reminders reset. You don't even have to open the app.
Queue will also summarize your email threads and text conversations, so when it's time to reach out again you'll have everything you talked about last time handy.
Syncing requires Queue for Mac, which is included with your subscription. Emails and texts are analyzed privately right on your Mac with Apple's models, and your message content is stored securely in your private iCloud so it never reaches Queue's servers.
Happy syncing!
