Stay close to
the people who matter.
Ovrdue notices when it's been too long since you spoke to a friend, and makes reaching out one tap. No feeds, no streaks, no nagging. Just a quiet nudge when a friendship is going quiet.
We'll email you once when it's ready, and never pass your address on.
Three circles. One tap.
Most apps for keeping in touch turn your friends into a to-do list. Ovrdue does less, on purpose.
Pick your people
Choose the friends you actually want to stay close to and put them in a circle: inner, good, or catch-up. Each circle has its own rhythm, from every couple of weeks to a few times a year.
Ovrdue keeps count
The Mac helper notices when you last spoke to each friend on WhatsApp, iMessage, phone and FaceTime, and when you last met up in your calendar. It only ever looks at dates, never what you said.
Reach out in a tap
When someone's gone quiet, their dot turns red. One tap opens the chat. Send the message, and Ovrdue marks it done. A weekly nudge, nothing more.
Your friendships, at a glance
Every friend is a dot on the ring for their circle. Green means you're in touch. Red means it's been too long. Open the app and you know who to message before you've finished your coffee.
It syncs between your iPhone and Mac through iCloud, so the helper does the noticing and the phone does the reaching out.
Works with how you actually talk
Ovrdue picks up the last time you spoke from the places conversations really happen.
WhatsApp, iMessage and calls are read by the Mac helper. Instagram and Messenger come from the data export Meta lets you download. Anything else, log it with a tap.
Your data stays on your devices
A friendship app that uploads your messages to a server would be a strange thing to trust. So Ovrdue doesn't have one.
- Only dates are read. Message text is never opened, stored or sent anywhere.
- No account to create. Sync between your iPhone and Mac runs through your own iCloud.
- Nothing leaves your devices. We can't see your friends, and we don't want to.
- Ovrdue suggests, it never assumes. You confirm who counts as a friend.
Questions
Isn't this just a personal CRM?
Those exist, and most of them feel like doing admin on your friends. Ovrdue has no pipeline, no notes you're meant to keep up, no scoring. It answers one question: who have I not spoken to in too long?
Does it read my messages?
No. The Mac helper reads when a message was sent or received, and who with. It never reads what was said, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Why does it need a Mac?
iPhone apps aren't allowed to see your WhatsApp or iMessage history. A Mac that's signed into the same accounts can. The helper sits in your menu bar, does the noticing, and syncs the dates to your phone through iCloud. The iPhone app still works on its own if you log catch-ups by hand.
Will there be an Android or Windows version?
Not at launch. Ovrdue is built on iCloud sync and on what a Mac is allowed to read, so it's an Apple thing for now.
How much will it cost?
We're still working that out. People on the waitlist will hear first, and will get the best price we ever offer.
