Contact Notes Organized in Editable Tiles Notes organized by letter as tappable tiles with… contact-management

Notes are grouped and indexed by their first letter the same way the contact list is, and a swipe reveals an edit action directly on the tile instead of requiring a separate detail screen.

Narratives personalize by age with formatting and tone Lifespan info, formatting, language, and tone selection…

The narrative engine factors in a contact's age to choose sentence length, vocabulary, and formality, so a summary about a child reads differently in tone from one about a grandparent.

    Narratives suggest adding photos and contact details Narrative generation prompts users to add photos or…

    When generating a contact's narrative, the app notices missing profile fields like a photo or interests and inserts a gentle prompt to fill them in, turning the summary into a completeness nudge.

      Contact profiles adapt tone to relationship and completeness Narratives sound warmer for close friends and adjust to… tone

      The generated narrative's wording shifts based on the relationship label attached to a contact — closer relationships read with warmer phrasing — and thins out gracefully when fewer profile fields are filled in.

      Beyond a static bio, the narrative text now weaves in how long the relationship has existed, the contact's local time zone, and whether their birthday is approaching.

      When new story details are saved to a contact, the narrative section plays a brief transition effect as it refreshes, making the update visible instead of the text silently changing on next view.

      Reaction icons animate with unique personality Icons pulse, wiggle uniquely, and play celebration effects. reactions

      Reaction icons attached to notes and timeline entries each carry a distinct animation — pulsing, wiggling, or a celebratory burst — so the reaction itself communicates more than a static emoji would.

      A long-press on the avatar opens a reaction picker; the chosen emoji renders as a badge on the arc of the avatar and becomes a sortable, filterable attribute across the contact list.

      Generation now draws on verified profile fields (heritage, interests, relationships) rather than generic templates, and varies phrasing between contacts so narratives read as distinct rather than formulaic.

      Warmer Biographical Narratives Narratives use conversational language with pronouns… contacts
