Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a project I recently started working on called Tend. It's an Android app built to help you automate the scheduling of your social life.
The idea came from a discussion on r/fossdroid about how hard it is to keep in touch with friends and extended family without relying on algorithm-driven social media or bloated, cloud-based CRMs. Most "Personal CRM" apps make you upload your contacts to a random server. I wanted something 100% offline, private, and simple.
What it does:
Think of it as setting up cron jobs for your relationships.
- Contact Cards: Create profiles for people you want to keep up with. Name, notes, phone, socials, etc.
- Custom Frequency: Set a check-in schedule. e.g. every 14 days, monthly, quarterly.
- Smart Reminders: The app notifies you when it's time to reach out.
- 100% Offline: Everything is stored locally on your device via SQLite/Room. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync.
I'd love your feedback. It's still in early development, so I'm looking for input on features and UI.

The universal Computer Science student experience: staring at Android Studio for 3 hours trying to figure out a weird Gradle build error instead of writing the paper that's due tomorrow. Who else is fighting their IDE today? 🫠

What proprietary apps are you currently struggling to find good FOSS alternatives for? Drop them below and I'll see what I can add!
I'm currently building LibreFind, an Android app designed to help you instantly discover FOSS replacements for your everyday proprietary apps.

Yes. I love doing it. It's my passion. But there are times that I can feel exhaustion especially when I'm still coding late at night because of some obvious reasons. :)

Programming is exhausting
