Practical details

Your questions answered.

How much effort does it take to save memories?

Meetup helps you find and attend activities; maintaining a connection afterward still takes personal effort. ConvoMemory adds a quick memory-capture habit to help you remember details and reconnect.

What happens to voice notes and personal data?

ConvoMemory voice notes are processed on-device and original audio is discarded. Meetup has its own account, event and community privacy controls; check current policies before sharing personal information.

What can you do for free?

Meetup's event access and organiser costs vary by role, region and current plan. ConvoMemory is free for up to 3 friends, $10/month Premium or $100/year Annual. Check official pricing for both.

What limitations might matter?

ConvoMemory cannot help you discover local groups or organise events. If you need more opportunities to meet people, Meetup addresses that need more directly.

Does ConvoMemory help me make new friends?

Not directly. It helps you remember and nurture connections after you meet people; Meetup can help you find groups and events where new connections begin.

Can I use ConvoMemory for people I meet at events?

Yes. You can save the details you want to remember and revisit them before you see that person again.

Are Meetup and ConvoMemory alternatives?

Only partly. Meetup helps you find social opportunities; ConvoMemory helps you maintain context and follow up with people you've met.

You don't need to organise your whole life to remember the people you love.
