Sponsor: Clay – Be More Thoughtful with People ↦

People make us laugh, challenge us to improve, support us when things are tough, and celebrate with us once they get better. They’re core to our personal and professional success, but being more generous, more responsive, more conscientious with them? That takes effort.
Before Clay, being thoughtful required relying on your memory as well as a mix of spreadsheets, notecards, address books, and other tools. In addition to being difficult to manage, this approach let important relationships, moments, and context fall through the cracks. That’s why we created Clay—a stunning, intuitive, and private home for your relationships, built automatically from your email, calendar, LinkedIn, Twitter, and iMessage.
Clay helps you show up informed and at the right time by creating and automatically updating beautiful cards for each of your contacts with context such as profile photos, bios, education and work history, location, and social profiles. Use powerful features such as natural-language search, dictation and note taking, reminders, birthday notifications, news articles about people you know, and more to deepen your relationships over time.
We’ve thoughtfully designed Clay specifically for macOS and iOS, using Apple’s latest tech (our iOS app is one of the most advanced SwiftUI apps in production) to ensure the app is attractive, performant, and secure. We’ve taken care to polish the small stuff because it matters—the exact timings and damping on the animations, the shadows on the cards, the haptic feedback on taps. A few of our other features:
- iOS homescreen widgets
- iMessage and iCloud calendar integrations
- Smart push notifications
- Spotlight search
- Sign in with Apple
- Native M1 chip support
- Full keyboard shortcuts and command bar
- Zapier integration
- Siri suggestions
- Native share sheet
- Optimized for retina displays
- Beautiful light and dark themes
- No advertising
