MEETU is an app that helps you remember the names of the people that you met.

A person's name is the greatest connection to their identity and individuality. However, it's easy to forget the name of the people you just met in the cafeteria or at a conference, which could have turned into a valuable connection. It's not that we don't want to remember their names, it's that we lack the tool to do so.

We designed MEETU to make it easy and practical to keep track of your new connections. Through voice-recognition technology and the "Recollection" function, MEETU integrates the action step of recording your new connections and reviewing them to your daily routine.

Humans procrastinate because it’s rewarding.  We feel calmer when we push aside stressful work — even if it creates more stress for our future selves.

Is it counterproductive?  Yes. Weird? No. We are actually pretty bad at forecasting their future emotions.  Instead of thinking long term, we operate best under short-term demands.

That’s what Quicksand is for — an app that rewards small efforts with a timeline you can see, and an animated Bitmoji that you can customize.

It's easy and fun to use -- Here's how it works:  Enter a goal and your time frame for completing it. Then, sand will fall at a steady pace so that it reaches your head by the deadline. Save your Bitmoji from drowning by completing your task on time.

No success is too small!
Get motivated by reviewing your "Hall of Fame" where your past successes will be displayed as happy scenarios of your own Bitmoji.
