Hello again fellow hackers. I created this app and I expect it can help others like me, those with ADHD and those who’ve resolved to be better at reaching out to friends and family this new year.
I’m not very good at keeping in touch with friends and family. So “there’s an app for that,” right? No, there actually wasn’t one—at least not one that did what I wanted simply. So I made one.
I define the app as a smart communications assistant/tool for text messages, calls and email that helps making staying in touch as effortless as it can be.
How is this app different from other personal CRM and automation tools?
Well, it’s purposely simple and combines some functionality from both areas. Most personal CRM apps are unable to easily make informed decisions as it relates to texts and calls because they have limited access to information—and most device automation apps, while they have access to more information, do not have a CRM focus. CommuniqAI blends these two and cleverly keeps you in touch with the people who matter the most with minimal interruption and distraction, zero requirements to manually log previous communications and actual conversation histories so you can quickly recall what you last touched upon. By default, the app will not take any action and largely act as a helpful reminder, and I recommend this type of use.

When I first made the app available, I posted a story on how the app got started, my eureka moments, repeated failures and a little technical detail at https://medium.com/@mtc.dev/my-first-android-app-story-331c9....
The last time I submitted to HN, the app was only available as a limited beta, but this is no longer the case—and the app has no ads or logins.
I’d love some feedback.
Cheers.
