Remember the person, not just the date
You already care. Noyala helps you show it.
Keep the birthdays, the names, the small things people tell you. Noyala reminds you at the right moment and helps you find the words — then waits for you to read them and decide.
Free to start, on iPhone today and Android soon. No advertising. Your notes are yours to export or delete.

Four months since you last spoke. She was waiting on results.
Noyala is a private notebook for your relationships. It holds what you know about people, tells you when it matters, and never speaks for you.
How it works
Three steps
Write things down, get told at the right moment, and decide what to send.
Step one
Write down what you know
A name is enough to start. Then add the small things as you hear them — a new job, a hard month, the marathon they keep mentioning. One fact per note reads best a year later.
Mark anything delicate as private and it stays out of drafts and out of shared circles.

Private · never draftedOrdinary notes can inform a draft. Private ones never do.
Step two
Be told at the right moment
Birthdays and anniversaries come with as much warning as you ask for. People you have not spoken to in a while surface on their own, without a streak or a score attached.
Noyala never claims you spoke to someone. It knows only what you tell it.
This month
September
No streaks. No score. An empty week is a real answer.
Step three
Find the words, then decide
Noyala reads your own notes and offers three ways to say it — warm and brief, built on a memory, or playful. You edit any of them, approve it by hand, and send it from your own app.
You can always write it yourself. The drafts are a starting point, not the product.
Three options · Daniel
You edit, you approve, you press send.
Your hand on the send button
Nothing leaves your hands unread
Noyala can draft a message from what you have written down. It cannot send one. Every draft waits behind a tick box you have to read first.
Noyala opens your sharing options with the approved message ready. You still choose the app, recipient and whether to press send.
Notes you mark private are held back from drafting entirely, and from anyone you share a circle with.
Built on a memory
Happy birthday, Daniel. Still training for the Accra half? I want to hear how that is going. Send me a voice note when you get a minute — I want the unedited version.

Four commitments
What we promise, in plain words
If any of them stops being true, we will say so before it changes.
We do not sell or share your data
Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to “partners”. Noyala makes money from subscriptions and nothing else, so there is nothing to sell you out for.
No advertising, and no profiling for it
Your relationships are not an audience segment. No advertising trackers, and no advertising identifiers. We keep minimal, privacy-respecting product analytics and crash reports so we can fix what breaks — never your relationship data, and never for profiling.
Nothing is sent without your approval
A generated message cannot leave Noyala on its own. It waits behind a tick box you have to read, and you press send in your own messaging app.
Your notes remain yours to take or destroy
Export the lot as a readable file whenever you want, and delete your account directly from the app or this site. Before you confirm, Noyala explains exactly what will be deleted and whether any recovery period applies.
Start with one person
Add someone, write down one thing you know about them, and let Noyala carry it for you.
