Your network, on a map
Contact Map keeps the people you know pinned to the cities they're actually in — so a trip turns into a short list of people worth seeing, instead of scrolling 800 phone contacts trying to remember who moved where.
Private by construction Your contacts never leave your device — there is no server for them to go to.
Open Contact MapIntroduced me to two good leads last spring. Worth a coffee when in Paris.
Prefers a call to email. Decides on the Lyon office after Q1.
Asked for a proposal back in March. Owes her a follow-up.
A short loop of the real interface. Nothing here is a stock photo — the people shown are the fictional sample contacts the app can load for you on first run.
01 · People
Same tool for the client whose renewal you're chasing, the peer who changes city every few months, and the friend who moved abroad. Every person below is invented — the same fictional set the app can load for you with one tap, so you can try it before entering anyone real.

Friend from the Berlin years
Friends Vienna, Austria
Moved back for family. Two kids now. Always says to call when passing through — and means it.
Independent consultant
Network Lisbon, Portugal (for now)
Changes city every few months — check where he actually is before booking anything. The person to ask about invoicing across borders.
Was on my team · now at Meridian
Ex-colleagues Singapore
Saw her at the Singapore stopover. Hiring two people — worth sending anyone good who is looking.
The note is the part no other app holds for you — everything above it can be imported, that line has to come from you. The two dates are kept apart on purpose.
02 · Sorting
A person sits in exactly one group — that is the colour you see on the map. Tags are free-form and stack, so you can slice the same list a dozen ways.
Groups · pick one, it colours the pin
Tags · as many as you like
Filters stack. Friends · #speaks-portuguese · within 50 km is one question, and the list answers it.
03 · Privacy
Two places, both yours. There is no third one.
Every contact, note and photo lives in your own browser storage. The app is static files — there is no backend that could receive your data even if it wanted to.
If you turn on backup, a single file goes into Drive's hidden app-data folder — a private area only this app can open, invisible in your Drive listing and never shared.
The only outside requests the app makes are map tiles and a city lookup when you search for a place. Names, notes and phone numbers are never part of them.
04 · Start
Open it on your phone, add it to your home screen, then tap Load sample contacts to see it working before touching your own. Adding a real person takes three taps: Contacts → Share Contact → Save to Files, then import that file.
Straight answer on the catch: this only pays off if you record the judgements you'd otherwise forget. The map and the reminders are the easy part — that habit is the real cost, and it's worth knowing before you start.
No trial that runs out, no paid tier, nothing to cancel. There is nothing to sell you later either — it is a page, not a business.
No account, no email address, no password. Open the link and it is already yours — nothing to sign up for, so nothing to delete afterwards.
Your contacts stay in your own browser storage. No server holds them — not mine, not anyone's — because there is no server.
Tell me where it confused you, or where you gave up. That's the useful feedback.
