Whatsit Now in beta
Voice-first

The name's right there.
Just describe it.

Find the name you can't quite reach — and call people just by describing them.

For those moments when you know exactly who or what you mean, but can't quite pull up the name.

The Whatsit home screen: a big Call button, a big Name button, recent people to call, and a Just say it button.

Two ways to use it

Find a name, or call someone you know.

Whatsit does two jobs. Both start the same way — you say what you remember, in your own words.

Describe someone, and call them.

No scrolling a contact list. Say who you mean — "drives a yellow car," "the pharmacy with my pills" — and Whatsit puts the call through.

The Who to call screen, where you describe a person with hints like drives a yellow car or lives near Harlem.

Describe a thing, and get its name.

An actor, a movie, a show, an animal — say what you remember, like "that duck-billed egg-laying animal," and Whatsit names it.

The What's that name screen, with examples like the actress in that snowy movie or that duck-billed egg-laying animal.

A little more

Keep a plan handy. Keep names close.

Two more things Whatsit can do — in the same plain, say-it-out-loud way.

Plan

Say a plan, and find it again later.

Tell Whatsit something to remember — "lunch with Sue on Wednesday" — and bring it back later by saying any part of it. If there's a day, it can give you a gentle nudge that morning.

The Plans screen, with saved plans under Coming up — a beach trip on Friday, movie night with Charles on Tuesday — each with a gentle reminder.
Play

A friendly round to keep names fresh.

A gentle little game — never a test. Name the people in your circle, or take on famous faces, movies, and shows. Something easy to do while the names still come easy.

Just say it

Take your time. Whatsit waits.

Press once and just talk. There's no rush and no right way to say it — pause, start over, ramble a little. Whatsit listens until you're done, then helps.

Made to be simple

Big, clear, and unhurried.

Every screen is large, calm, and forgiving — so the app gets out of the way and lets you find what you're after.

Adjustable text

Standard, Large, or Larger — pick a size that's comfortable and the whole app follows.

Your people, ready

Add the people and places you reach for most, with a few details that bring a name back. Anyone can set them up — you, or family helping out.

Your words stay yours

What you say to find a name is used to answer you — nothing more. The details are in the privacy policy.

The Set up screen, Your people and places, with cards for Aunt Lucia, Maria Delgado, and Riverside Pharmacy.

Plain about your privacy

What you say stays yours.

Read the privacy policy

You choose who to add

You pick which contacts come in — nothing is brought in without you.

Your people stay on your phone

Saved names and photos live on your device, not on a server somewhere.

Your searches answer you

What you say is used to find your answer — never to sell ads or train AI.
