Tools: Show Hn: Poppy – A Simple App To Stay Intentional With Relationships

Poppy turns your contacts into a living garden. Gentle reminders, zero guilt.

No feed. No scrolling. Just a quiet nudge and a quick log. Then get back to your life.

You think about reaching out, then don't. Repeat for 6 months until the guilt makes it even harder.

Liking their posts feels like connection, but you haven't actually talked in months.

New job, new city, new routine. One day you realize your closest people feel like strangers.

Four features that turn overwhelming contacts into a living, breathing garden.

Your contacts as a living garden. Green and blooming means thriving. Wilting? Time to reach out. No guilt, just a gentle nudge.

Skip rigid schedules. Pick a frequency like every 7, 14, or 30 days and Poppy sends gentle reminders.

Log how hangouts actually felt. Spot toxic patterns, celebrate the good ones. Quality over quantity.

Family weekly. College friends monthly. Work contacts quarterly. Different circles deserve different frequencies.
