Remember the People,
Not Just the Party
Every great social gathering is full of interesting, wonderful people you'll probably never think about again by Tuesday. intrstn changes that.
Why We're All Losing Connections We Should Keep
Social meetups are extraordinary. A dinner party can put you in the same room as a documentary filmmaker, a neuroscientist who moonlights as a DJ, a retired diplomat with stories that should be a Netflix series, and a software engineer who's secretly writing a novel about the ocean. In 90 minutes, you can have six conversations that genuinely reshape how you see the world.
And then you go home. And the next day, the glow of those conversations fades into a pleasant but vague sense of "that was a great night." You remember a few names, maybe. You remember one story that particularly stuck. But the specific sparks — the things that made each person memorable, the things you genuinely wanted to follow up on — those are gone.
It's not a failure of character. It's biology. Memory is selective and fades fast. And in an era where we're all over-stimulated with information, the meaningful details of a new human connection compete with a hundred other things demanding our attention.
intrstn isn't about being transactional about social life. It's the opposite. It's about honouring the people you meet by actually remembering them — not their job title, but their passions, their projects, and why they stood out in a room full of interesting people.
How It Works
From great conversation to lasting connection in four easy steps.
Connect in the Moment
Met someone brilliant at a dinner party, a community event, or a casual meetup? Scan their code or share yours. A quick selfie together seals the memory. No awkward card exchange required.
Capture What Made Them Special
Jot a quick note: "Runs a pottery studio in Brooklyn, huge film buff, gave me a book recommendation I have to check out." That note is private, encrypted, and waiting for you later.
Rediscover People When It Matters
Six months later you're looking for a filmmaker for a project. You search your connections, and there they are — with exactly why you thought they were interesting the first time you met.
Reconnect With Intention
Reach out referencing something real: "Hey, you mentioned you were working on a documentary about urban farming — how did that go?" That's how acquaintances become lasting connections.
A Richer Social Life, By Design
Real connection, real memory, real relationships.
Event Memories
Every person you meet at a dinner, festival, or community gathering is logged under that specific event. You'll always know where you first crossed paths.
Grow Genuine Friendships
Unlike social apps built on follower counts, intrstn is built on the actual human moments behind your connections — the conversations, the shared contexts, the unexpected overlaps.
Spot Serendipitous Connections
Sometimes you meet someone at a yoga retreat who turns out to be an expert in your hobby, a neighbour of your college friend, or the perfect collaborator for something you're building.
A Visual Memory
The selfie you capture together isn't just cute — it's a vivid anchor for your memory. Seeing a face alongside your notes makes every connection feel alive again.
Private by Nature
Your social impressions are intimate. intrstn keeps your notes entirely private and encrypted. What you thought of someone at a party is yours alone — never shared, never sold.
Your Whole Social World, Organised
From the weekend hiking group to the book club to the neighbourhood association — all the people who enrich your life, organised by where and how you met them.
"The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships."
That's not motivational fluff. It's the reason intrstn exists.
The Art of Being Someone Worth Knowing
There's a particular type of person we all admire in social circles. They remember your name. They ask about the trip you mentioned last time you saw them. They connect you with someone you didn't know you needed to meet. They follow through on casual promises: "I'll send you that article," and then they actually do. We call these people "good with people" or "great networkers," but the truth is they're usually just people with good systems.
intrstn is that system made simple. It doesn't require you to be naturally gregarious or blessed with a photographic memory. It requires you to take 60 seconds after a great conversation to write down three things that made this person interesting. That's it. The rest — the context, the occasion, the timestamp, the selfie — is captured automatically.
Imagine going to a neighbourhood potluck six months from now and running into someone you met at a rooftop party last summer. Instead of that awkward "I know we've met but I can't remember where," you open intrstn beforehand. You remember they were raising money for a community garden. You ask about it. Their face lights up. That's the kind of human moment that deepens a friendship — and it started because you cared enough to remember.
In a world of superficial digital connections and follower counts that mean nothing, intrstn is a quiet act of rebellion. It says: the people in your actual life matter. The person across from you at a dinner table matters. And they are worth remembering.
Be the person who remembers.
