The people who matter to you deserve better than your memory.
Tribe Meguri is a private notebook for your relationships. It remembers what you learn about people and tells you when to reach out — before the connection quietly goes dormant.
Tribe Meguri is in beta right now. Join the waitlist and we will let you know as soon as you can start. Already have access? Then you get your sign-in link instead.
We only use your address for the waitlist. More in our privacy notice.
Where this comes from
We were never made to be alone. For thousands of years people lived in small circles: the same faces, the same place, for a lifetime. The tribe, the family, the friends next door. Closeness was not a resolution, it was simply there. Everything in us is tuned to that: our memory, our feel for others, our need to belong.
Within a few decades that has come apart. We move for school, for work, for love. Families get smaller and live further apart. Friends scatter across cities and time zones. And the hours that used to belong to conversation now belong to screens that promise connection and take time.
We think this is one of the great problems of our time. And we believe the answer is not less technology, but the right technology.
Tribe Meguri puts technology on the side of closeness for once. Not a network, but Meguri, a quiet assistant that works the way we are built: it remembers what someone told you. It reminds you of what you promised. It tells you when someone is due again, before it turns into months. And when you pick up the phone, you know the children's names and what mattered last time.
Family
Everyone wants to be a better son. A better mother, a better grandmother, a better uncle. Not out of duty, but because it is one of the things that count in the end.
In everyday life that is harder than it sounds. It takes structure and discipline to think of the birthday before it arrives. To find a gift that was chosen with thought and not bought at the last minute. To get in touch regularly, not only at Christmas. To think of something to do together. And usually exactly that loses out to everything that keeps us busy day to day.
Why carry all of that alone? Meguri reminds you of birthdays before they arrive, and of gifts while there is still time, for birthdays and Christmas alike. It knows when you last got in touch and who you should reach out to next. It keeps track of what you promised and gives you ideas for something great to suggest. That is how you become a better friend, uncle or daughter: not with more time, but with less forgetting and more structure in how you tend your relationships.
Cultivate relationships, don't manage them.
How it works
- 1
Say what happened
After seeing someone, speak or type what happened. Meguri, your assistant, turns it into a clean entry, pulling out the facts, promises and questions it contains.
- 2
Get reminded before it is too late
Every person has their own rhythm. Meguri knows it and tells you when someone is due, along with birthdays and what you promised.
- 3
Know what you actually want to ask
Instead of a pleasantry, you get suggested questions that show you listened. Drawn from what you recorded yourself.

Your notes stay yours
What you write here is intimate. That is why Tribe Meguri runs on Swiss servers at the Swiss cloud provider Infomaniak. We protect your data wholeheartedly, because it matters to us that you and your tribe are in safe hands.
Starting costs nothing
The first ten contacts are free forever. That is enough to find out whether it helps you. If you want to tend more people, you can take out a subscription or unlock more contacts by inviting others.
Business
In business, what counts is who remembers the details.
Contacts from work and your network get a ring of their own in Tribe Meguri, apart from family and friends, with what matters there.
Three tiers
Close, warm, acquaintance. Each person with their own rhythm, so no one feels forgotten and no one feels pushed.
Company and role
Who does what where and what you talked about last time, before you pick up the phone or write a message.
Promises and questions
What you promised, and the question for next time that shows you listened.
