Queue Personal CRM

Friends are very important to me, but I'm pretty terrible at keeping in contact with them. As a developer myself, I've thought for years about building a tool to reach out to important people at regular intervals. Fortunately, Queue came along and scratched that itch exquisitely well, so now I don't have to. It's lovely, well-crafted, functional, app that feels delightful and properly at home on iOS. The developer adds new features at a steady pace, and is extraordinarily ready to discuss plans and feature requests. I'm delighted to have such an effective tool to help me be the thoughtful human I want to be.

I’ve been using this app for a while (started in beta) and I can honestly say it’s one of the most useful apps out there today. It’s been especially helpful during COVID as it’s reminded me to check in with everyone fto me my brother to my old college pals at varying frequencies. The notifications and reminders are clear but not intrusive and the Google Calendar integration is amazing! So many options for customizing reminders and tracking. 100% worth the cost and more, highly recommend!

I am a highly extroverted person. I didn’t think I needed to organize and nurture my friendships - they were all right there in front of me. What could be difficult about that? But the pandemic hit and I slowly realized how many of my friendships were based on coincidence, timing, and being in the same physical place. How unintentionally I had built those relationships. How easy it would be to miss out on them if I didn’t start approaching them a bit differently. Enter Queue. Suddenly I am asking myself, do I want to catch up with this person? How much do we have in common? What’s here? A define the relationship moment, if you will, for each person in my life. Isn’t this just an app? Yes. But it’s weird. When you’re extroverted and you’re forced to think about who you want to give your energy to - it’s weird how different that looks. Sometimes you get people you weren’t expecting and you build beautiful relationships you would have missed out on if you didn’t take the time to really see them. Others you miss out on because now you do see them, and it’s not right for you. I’ll admit I do know the developer and think he is swell. But I’ll tell you the output of my experience and you can judge from there: Since Queue, I’ve been invited to weddings I would not have been, and I gratefully and humbly let go of other relationships that had finished their journey and I learned I could move on. It’s just an app. But who am I now when using it? There are days when I snooze a catch up, remove people from my Queue, or just don’t feel like it. But the days that I look at the app and think, “Oh hey, how is that person doing? What would happen if I said hello?” What would happen indeed?Hello Queue.
